Following Donald Trump’s second inauguration in 2025, former Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell received the devastating news that Trump had pardoned approximately 1,500 individuals convicted for their actions during the January 6th Capitol riot, including those who had injured officers. Gonell and other officers, like Daniel Hodges, who defended the Capitol that day, have struggled to cope with the aftermath, particularly given the downplaying of the violence by Trump and some Republican lawmakers.

FBI Leader Questioned on Antifa: Zero Answers, Major Embarrassment

Yoo argues that the actions against Venezuela and its drug cartels are more akin to preventing criminal activity than a justified act of war based on the administration’s current justifications. He highlights the irony of the situation given his past support of unilateral actions and war crimes. Yoo believes the only legal justification for these strikes would be if Venezuela’s drug cartels were acting as an extension of their armed forces.
