Just another reason to make sure he never sees the inside of the White House again.


Trump promises pardons if re-elected

The fate of the Jan. 6 investigation hinges on the results of Tuesday’s election.

Trump has repeatedly said he would “absolutely” pardon Jan. 6 rioters and denounced the Justice Department’s investigation. His campaign has said those pardons would be made “on a case-by-case basis,” without getting into specifics of which of the more than 1,500 people charged in connection with Jan. 6 — over 570 of whom faced felony charges of assaulting or impeding law enforcement — could see their cases dropped. (That includes Kelley, who is still awaiting trial on charges of plotting to kill FBI agents; the campaign declined to comment on his case.)

Meanwhile, Trump has referred to the rioters, broadly, as “warriors,” “unbelievable patriots,” political prisoners ….

Jan. 6 defendants were charged after federal authorities identified them on tape brandishing or using firearms, stun guns, flagpoles, fire extinguishers, bike racks, batons, a metal whip, office furniture, pepper spray, bear spray, a tomahawk ax, a hatchet, a hockey stick, knuckle gloves, a baseball bat, a massive “Trump” billboard, “Trump” flags, a pitchfork, pieces of lumber, crutches and even an explosive device during the brutal attack that injured more than 140 police officers and left several individuals dead.

1. A criminal who is Weak on Crime.

No surprise there.

2. He won't just pardon them...

That's how he's picking his cabinet

3. He could have pardoned them when he was still president.

But he didn't. They should have learned something from that, though I doubt they did.

5. This is only my opinion but

Had he realized over 1600 people would have been arrested and hundreds still waiting to see if they do plus a 3.5 year story, he would have. He just saw no benefit in his 2 weeks left in the White House. Now, I bet Agent Orange wishes he had. The investigation is still ongoing and the cases of assault on police officers ( so much for back the blue) keep growing.

4. He needs them to help him stay in power

Maybe he'll form a new federal agency for them in put them on the payroll.

6. They are expecting "reparations" as well

Inside prison, they call it "Trump cash."
