A group of FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 investigations asked a judge Thursday to destroy a Trump administration list containing the names of roughly 5,000 agents tied to the probes. 

Their move follows Ed Martin’s vow, as the newly appointed weaponization czar, to “name” and “shame” the thousands of agents who helped crack down on more than 1,000 Americans allegedly involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, protests. 

The anonymous agents told U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb that Martin’s public pledge signals the federal government plans to release the list. They first sued in February, asking the court to destroy or seal the roster. 

Their Thursday filing came after Martin promised at a Tuesday press conference to hold the agents accountable for destroying the lives of more than 1,000 Jan. 6 defendants. 

“There are some really bad actors, some people that did some really bad things to the American people. And if they can be charged, we’ll charge them. 

But if they can’t be charged, we will name them. 

And in a culture that respects shame, they should be people that are ashamed. And that’s a fact. That’s the way things work. And so that’s, that’s how I believe the job operates.” 

The agents argue Martin’s rhetoric puts them in greater danger of retribution by the pardoned Jan. 6 defendants. 

“Mr. Martin’s statements represent new, relevant facts worthy of the Court’s attention while it considers Plaintiffs’ requested relief,” their filing claimed, according to Law and Crime. 

The agents are represented by a group of attorneys that includes Mark Zaid, who is also suing President Trump over revoked security clearances. 

Zaid is also representing former FBI agent Jamie Mannina in a defamation suit against journalist James O’Keefe, after O’Keefe released undercover footage of Mannina expressing his contempt for Trump. 

President Trump’s second term will likely be regarded as a major public health inflection point, driven by the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement. The initiative aims to revolutionize a broken system rigged against patients—creating disease and then profiting from it—while also targeting reform of the nation’s food supply chain, which is dominated by the processed food industrial complex.

Goldman analysts Leah Jordan and Eli Thompson provided clients with early indications that consumers are shifting and seeking “better-for-you options” at the supermarket. 

“Softer snacking demand with outperformance in better-for-you options,” Jordan wrote in a note to clients earlier this month. 

She continued, “Several packaged food companies noted a slowdown in snacking demand as consumers focused on essentials in the current backdrop. However, better-for-you categories (e.g., high protein) have been outperforming, although select indulgences are resonating as well, noting relative strength in seasonal confection for HSY (e.g., Valentine’s Day and Easter) and cookies (over crackers) for MDLZ.” 

The analysts expect the MAHA theme to continue:  

“We expect the ongoing consumption shift towards better-for-you to continue, while investors have also noted caution on snacking, with risks related to rising GLP-1 adoption (including the potential launch of oral options) and regulation changes (e.g., potential SNAP funding cuts for select categories, removal of certain dyes/additives). All in, we see continued tailwinds for natural/organic (Buy SFM) and protein (Buy SFD).” 

They pointed to recent earnings commentary from major food companies, which revealed a noticeable slowdown in processed food sales between April and May.

Year-to-date snacking trends are on the decline.

This is more than politics—it’s a movement for the nation’s future. 

Recall that the “N” in SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) means “Nutrition,” yet many recipients are buying soda bottles and candy bars. SNAP is also one of the nation’s largest welfare programs.
