Big Boob and little boober, not only do you two mugs support Trump and his "J6 Pardon Monkey No1" agenda, you're both either too dim to even be aware of it or you're both in more heavy denial. It's no wonder your cognitive dissonance is shot full of holes. You're like perfect MAGAs where Trump comes from. Jesus wept. Send money.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/06/trump-pardon-january-6-r****rs-if-elected-president‘J****** 6 never ended’: alarm at Trump pardon pledge for Capitol i**********nists
The ex-president has said he would pardon those convicted of violence, obstructing Congress and s*******s conspiracy
In the three years to the day since the i**********n at the US Capitol, great strides have been made in shoring up American democracy: hundreds of r****rs have been prosecuted, legislation has been passed to bolster e*******l safeguards and Donald Trump has been charged over his efforts to subvert the 2020 e******n.
But as the country marks the third anniversary of one of its darkest days in modern times, a pall hangs in the air. It comes from Trump himself and his promise, growing steadily louder as the 2024 p**********l e******n approaches, that if he wins he will pardon those convicted of acts of violence, obstructing Congress and s*******s conspiracy on 6 January 2021.
The scope of Trump’s pardon pledge is astonishing both for its quantity and quality. The former president has made clear that – should he be confirmed as the Republican p**********l candidate and go on to triumph in the November e******n – he would contemplate pardoning every one of those prosecuted for their participation in the i**********n.
Last May he reposted on his T***h Social platform the slogan: “Free all J-6 political prisoners”. A few months earlier he told a rightwing website that “we’ll be looking very, very seriously at full pardons”.
A total or near-total pardon would encompass hundreds of cases. The US Department of Justice has conducted what it describes as the largest investigation in its history following the storming of the Capitol building and has so far secured almost 900 convictions either at trial or through guilty pleas.
About 350 cases are still ongoing.
Then there is the quality. Trump has specifically threatened to pardon Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the extremist group the P***d B**s who with 22 years in prison has received the longest sentence yet handed down for the i**********n.
Tarrio was found guilty of s*******s conspiracy. Though he was not present in the Capitol compound on 6 January 2021, prosecutors presented evidence that he had helped coordinate the storming of the building and on the day itself had sent encouraging messages on social media.
The judge at his sentencing, Timothy Kelly, said he was sending a strong message: “It can’t happen again,” he said.
In September Trump told NBC News that he would “certainly look at” pardoning Tarrio. “He and other people have been treated horribly … They’ve been persecuted.”
Jamie Raskin, the Democratic congressman from Maryland, said that Trump’s pledge to pardon r****rs showed that “J****** 6 never ended. Today is J****** 6.”
Speaking at an event on Friday organised by End Citizens United and Let America V**e in advance of the third anniversary, Raskin, who was present at the Capitol as the r**t unfolded and who went on to lead the second impeachment of Trump following the upheaval, lamented how the former president wanted to set convicted criminals free. “Trump is out there saying he’s going to pardon people who engaged in political violence, who bloodied and wounded and hospitalized 150 of our officers.”
Raskin added that Trump’s threat should be taken seriously. “We better believe him. I mean, he pardoned Roger Stone, a political criminal; he pardoned Michael Flynn, his disgraced former national security adviser,” he said. “Now he wants to pardon the shock troops of J****** 6, so he will have this roving band of people willing to commit political violence and i**********n for him – how dangerous is that?”
