Rachel Acres is a former federal prosecutor who spent seven years as a federal prosecutor in the US Justice Department .

She worked on many of the January 6 cases as a prosecutor.

She says she's worried about being personally targeted by the pardoned people who have just had their sentences commuted and had their commuted sentences.

Some January 6th defendants who were charged with or even convicted for other offenses, especially guns and weapons charges, especially weapons charges.

Some of those charges were brought not directly related to their crimes, but maybe the FBI was at their house searching and found those things because they were looking for them, because of their involvement in January 6 crimes in the first place.

The Department of Justice is asking courts to interpret this executive order very broadly.

The intention seems to be to try to make all of those senior people quit, Akers says.

Akers: "I think on the ground and this last week , what it's done is it's just terrified people. Everyone is worried if they're going to be fired or moved".
