A former FBI supervisory special agent accused of yelling “kill ’em” at Jan. 6 rioters clashing with police — who he called “the Gestapo” — says he’s being targeted for his political beliefs.

An attorney for Jared Wise, 50, said in a motion filed on Wednesday that Wise is being “selectively prosecuted based on his political beliefs and activities, as can be seen in the different treatment of similarly situated left-wing offenders.” The motion seeks a court order for discovery to learn whether Wise’s political beliefs or activities have played a role in the “unusually harsh charging decisions” in his case.
