President-elect Trump intends to swiftly pardon his supporters involved in the January 6th Capitol attack upon assuming office, citing their harsh treatment within the justice system. He will not, however, direct his Attorney General nominee to investigate his political opponents, despite his grievances with the Justice Department and FBI. Trump believes some members of the House January 6th Committee should face jail time for their actions, while asserting that many January 6th defendants were unfairly pressured into guilty pleas. He plans to leave decisions regarding investigations of political adversaries to his appointees, prioritizing the country’s success over retribution.

The anticipation is palpable as Special counsel Jack Smith gears up to present ‘substantial’ new evidence against former President Donald Trump in the January 6 case. Finally, the public will have a glimpse into the extensive investigation into Trump’s role in the 2020 election subversion and the Capitol attack. It’s been a long time coming, but the wait seems to be worth it as Judge Tanya Chutkan has given the green light for the Justice Department to reveal information not yet known to the public.
The significant court filing set to be presented on Thursday holds the potential to shed light on Trump’s interactions with then-Vice President Mike Pence and other crucial moments in late 2020 and early 2021.… Continue reading
The recent revelation that Vice President Kamala Harris was less than 20ft away from a pipe bomb during the January 6th attack on the Capitol is truly chilling. It is a stark reminder of the grave danger that she, along with many others, faced on that fateful day. The fact that this incident went largely unreported and has not seen any significant progress in terms of identifying or arresting suspects is deeply concerning. How can such a serious act of terrorism be swept under the rug and forgotten about?
The new Homeland Security report sheds light on the fact that the Secret Service did not employ all of its explosive detection tactics and measures during the security sweep, even though a pipe bomb had already been found at the Republican National Committee building earlier that day.… Continue reading
I cannot wrap my head around the logic behind Kristi Noem’s push to pardon the US Capitol attackers to prevent another January 6. It’s like saying, “Let’s release all bank robbers to prevent bank robberies.” The idea is absurd and nonsensical. Criminals need to face consequences for their actions, not be pardoned to potentially repeat their crimes.
Pardoning individuals who attacked the Capitol sends a dangerous message that such behavior is acceptable and will go unpunished. It undermines the rule of law and accountability, which are fundamental principles of justice in any society. How can we expect to deter future attacks if we excuse and pardon those responsible for the violence and chaos that occurred on January 6?… Continue reading
I can’t wrap my head around the fact that a conservative activist’s son, involved in a relentless attack on the Capitol, was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison. Reading about the extent of his involvement – from breaking windows to leading breaches, attacking law enforcement, stealing from offices, and attempting to stop the transition of power after a valid election – it’s disheartening to see such a lenient punishment. This traitorous behavior, aimed at overthrowing the government, should warrant a much harsher penalty to deter others from engaging in similar acts in the future.
It’s infuriating to think that individuals who committed treason against their country are getting off with what seems like just a slap on the wrist.… Continue reading
