i hope so. last time we tried to do that with this guy in office things got violent,and those people got set free by the guy that sent them commit the violence. I suspect that people thought they would get a chance to vote again in Germany, Italy, Cuba, Venezuela, and many other hellholes where power was concentrated into one individual that was before djt thought he had a mandate (with less than 50% of the vote total) djt succesfully stalled the criminal justice system and got away with his felonious acts at ML, J6, and in Georgia and Arizona the supreme court granted potus immunity pubs took larger margins in the senate he got a totally unqualified alcoholic appointed sec def he survived an assassination attempt he surrounded himself with only loyalists he now thinks he is invincible and nobody has told him no yet
Say what?! Trump, as a sitting President who had lost an election, tried to overturn the results of that election. He literally enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn that election and become the only President to deny a peaceful transfer of power. That included establishing fake elector slates, coercing state officials and his own VP, publicly lying about fake election fraud, and inciting a violent riot. We all saw those things with our own eyes. Are you going to try and say that all of those things didn't actually happen? Trump is a traitor, and literally every single bit as anti-democracy as those other people. For sure he hasn't outright deliberately killed people like they did (unless you count his lying about covid), but he is anathema to all American values. A traitor.
Lindsay Graham this weekend on "face the nation": “No. 1, he had the legal authority to do it,” Graham pointed out. “But I fear that you will get more violence. Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer, violently, I think, was a mistake because it seems to suggest that’s an OK thing to do.” Graham made similar comments to CNN’s Dana Bash, saying the pardons “sent the wrong signal.”
Said it in a previous post, the geniuses that Trump pardoned probably think that they now have carte blanche to commit acts of violence in support of the Dear Leader. It's only a matter of time before some of them do so again and this time they could be subject to prosecution under state laws where Trump's pardon power won't protect them.
Had there remained in Federal prison in 2025 many non violent people who were merely convicted of trespassing or entering the building? I recall that the Shaman guy was released almost two years ago.
https://fox59.com/indiana-news/jan-...diana-sheriffs-deputy-while-resisting-arrest/ JASPER COUNTY, Ind. — An Indiana man recently pardoned by President Donald Trump for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is dead after being shot by a sheriff’s deputy while allegedly resisting arrest. Matthew Huttle, 42, of Hobart was shot and killed during a traffic stop near the Jasper/Pulaski county lines on Sunday afternoon. A deputy with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department pulled Huttle’s vehicle over on State Road 14 at approximately 4:15 p.m. Indiana State Police said the traffic stop led to the deputy attempting to arrest Huttle, but Huttle allegedly resisted and struggled with the officer. This “altercation” led to the deputy firing his gun and killing Huttle. According to state police, Huttle was in possession of a firearm during the traffic stop. No additional details have been provided, however, about the altercation between Huttle and the deputy and what Huttle was being arrested for.
That didn’t take long. Is that going to be another cop needing protection from the “bAcK the bLuE” crowd? Conspiracies about it being a deep state hit inbound in 3…2…1.
and now I understand why Snoop Dogg was there. lost all respect I had for him Snoop Dogg Seemingly Responds to Backlash From His Inauguration Ball Performance: ‘Still a Black Man' Snoop Dogg was previously very critical of Donald Trump, and he appeared to change his tune following Trump's pardoning of Death Row co-founder Michael ‘Harry O' Harris, who was behind bars on attempted murder and cocaine trafficking charges, before the twice-impeached president left the White House at the end of his first term. "That's great work for the president and his team on the way out," Snoop Dogg reportedly said in 2021. "They did some great work while they was in there and they did some great work on their way out. Let them know that I love what they did."
fingers crossed that they go get the violent ones on state charges that djt can't pardon them for DAs may try to charge Jan. 6 participants granted clemency by Trump with new crimes on state, local levels The ordeal may not be over for some of the more than 1,500 Jan. 6 criminal defendants granted clemency by President Donald Trump, as certain prosecutors are currently investigating whether some of the individuals — particularly those alleged to have committed violent crimes — could be charged at the state or local level. That loophole was floated by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, who told CNN that his office was looking into the possibility of bringing state election- or conspiracy-related charges against some of the Pennsylvania residents who were pardoned or saw their prison sentences commuted during the first week of the Trump presidency. Krasner's office could theoretically take action against the more than 100 Pennsylvania residents who received full pardons or sentence commutations, including a Philadelphia-based Proud Boys leader who was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of seditious conspiracy and another Pittsburgh-area man sentenced to 14 years in prison for indiscriminately spraying pepper spray at police officers, throwing a folding chair at officers and wielding a large wooden "tire thumper," according to the Justice Department. ................................ However, Krasner maintained that in his view, "there is a path" for charging Jan. 6 individuals — and not just those living in the Keystone State.
Kind of funny they were trashing Biden for pardoning a violent criminal (and that was likely an oversight to include him with the 2500 “nonviolent” drug offenders). Trump just straight up pardoned one as a celebrity favor? I don’t think it was a quid quo pro type deal since the pardon was 4 years ago and Snoop would have no idea Trump would get elected again, he just wanted his “pal” set free. Interesting double standard though…I was not aware of that particular pardon and I assume most right wingers aren’t either. They would never knowingly display such hypocrisy. Right?
Not a lawyer, but that seems like a pretty obvious double jeopardy situation. If it’s referenced as a “loophole” it’s probably not a legitimate path IMO. That being said, I’m guessing at least dozens of these 1500+ people are bonafide whack jobs who will 100% get in trouble with the law again. Already the 1 with another violent and deadly encounter with police. Hopefully in such future situations they get taken into custody or get taken out instead of seing innocent victims as a result.
One of them was killed today in a traffic stop Indiana man pardoned for Capitol riot killed by deputy
only the best. another poor tourist the subject of lawfare. one of them is going to end up being the shooter and not the victim sooner or later. that blood is on djt just like the traumatic event this deputy went through
and the new AG is a J6 denier Trump DOJ appointee in DC lashes out after flurry of ‘personally insulting’ leaks in his first week The latest missive from Martin highlights his turbulent first week, as he aggressively tries to impose Trump’s agenda at the Justice Department, while facing pushback both internally from career prosecutors and others who quit and then bashed his actions. Martin is a socially conservative activist and commentator and was involved with the 2020 election denier movement. In his Tuesday email, he lashed out at a prosecutor who was involved in January 6 cases and resigned after Trump granted mass clemency that ended all of the nearly 1,600 cases and wiped away all remaining prison terms. That ex-prosecutor, Ashley Akers, gave at least four TV interviews Monday, with multiple appearances on MSNBC and CNN, where she condemned many of Martin’s moves.Akers said she had a “guttural reaction” when Trump chose to “immediately absolve” the January 6 defendants. She said it was “appalling” that Martin was “advocating on behalf of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers” by successfully urging a judge to nix their travel restrictions. And she called his internal review of January 6 cases a “wild goose chase.” In response, Martin sent an officewide email Tuesday rebuking Akers for “going on television badmouthing our work (and me!).” He said, “we will need to make sure we have her records and emails,” including for his review of January 6 prosecutions. (Akers’ name was misspelled in the email.)
The Memo: Trump knocks over the guardrails, deepening Democratic panic News emerged late Monday afternoon that the Justice Department was firing more than a dozen officials who had been part of the attempt to prosecute Trump, led by former special counsel Jack Smith. That move, apparently spearheaded by Trump’s acting attorney general, James McHenry, looked to critics like the latest attempt by the president to take vengeance on his enemies, reward his friends and kick away the guardrails of civil society. In his first week back in office, Trump has pardoned almost all the people convicted of Jan. 6-related offenses, while commuting the sentences of a handful of others. The total of more than 1,500 people includes several convicted of seditious conspiracy and a larger number found guilty of violent attacks upon police officers. Trump’s administration has also removed roughly 17 inspectors general from their roles overseeing government departments; removed security details from former government officials who have crossed him; and instructed the attorney general to root out anything he deems to be political bias in work conducted during former President Biden’s administration.
