They are seditious traitors and enemies of the American experiment. Let's always remember that.
These are not political prisoners

No. They were and are criminals. Hard stop.
Call them what you want they are free as birds. I knew this one would upset the left.
Out tonight.
Promises made. Promises kept!"So this is January 6th, these are the hostages, approximately 1500 were pardoned. Full pardon. You have about six commutations in there but we are doing further research. This is a big one. We hope they come out tonight."
Should upset you, too. Shameful that it doesn't. It means you put partisanship above the rule of law.
Biden’s actions this morning destroyed any chance of the media mounting a counteroffensive of Trump’s January 6th pardons, not that it would’ve succeeded.But they’ve given up even trying.Total victory.

I really don’t get the reasoning for full pardons rather than just commutations for those reasonably seen as overcharged.
Doing this communicates something - and it’s nothing good.
But…what else would we expect? Trump thinks they were railroaded. They were not.
Only 30 percent of all Americans supported pardons for these criminals. Only a bit over half of Republicans did - no doubt the MAGAs who no longer consider law and order a priority. This is burning a ton of Trump’s political capital on his first day. Very bad decision.
By the way “alot” is not a word. It’s “a lot.”
Maybe he feels guilty for causing their prosecutions-and he should.
They got a little excited ONE TIME, it happens to the best of us. I’ve had 3 AMFs at upstairs before and did some wild things. Who am I to judge?
I don’t think Donald John Trump has EVER felt guilt.
I honestly stopped giving a shit about January 6th an hour after it happened.
Only a handful out of 1,500 are convicted of seditious treason. Hundreds of others were convicted of interfering with government operations which SCOTUS said was a wrongful application of the statute.
“Obstruction of an official proceeding”
Is such a dystopian statute it boggles the mind. In the civilian world it might be called trespass or intimidation. God forbid you do it to a Federal government event and the entire leviathan is wielded against you.
Good thing is that dumb bitch that got shot is still dead. Too bad the others aren't.
How many were convicted of only that? I don’t think any were and I don’t recall any being realeased. You’re defending people convicted of assaulting police officers and destroying government (taxpayer) property. Some that conspired to disrupt the proceedings in hopes of changing election results. Are you comfortable with that?
