Trump did so many executive orders it’s hard to know where to start. Well, what about this?
Trump grants mass pardons to 1,500 January 6 US Capitol rioters
President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned more than 1,500 people charged in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, and said he would commute the sentences of six others.
The Justice Department also is expected to move in court to dismiss cases that have not yet gone to trial, several sources told CNN.
More than 730 people have been convicted of misdemeanor offenses in connection with January 6, according to the latest Justice Department estimates. Further, there are about 300 prosecutions still pending in court as of Monday, including many accused of violent felony crimes, such as assaulting police.
Trump has long pledged to pardon at least some of his supporters who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, disrupting the peaceful transfer of power.
The vast majority really did nothing wrong. They weren’t violent, they wandered through the halls of Congress, and had the doors opened for them by Capitol Police.
About 55% of January 6 prosecutions are misdemeanor cases, with charges like disorderly conduct or trespassing, according to Justice Department data. For those convicted, the vast majority were sentenced to probation or a few months in prison and were already released.
And had their lives destroyed for a minor issue. Hounded, harassed by the feds, locked up pre-trial with no bail. Unlike the way they went after those who firebombed a federal justice center, which was, not much.
Some defendants are elderly people who got caught up in the frenzy. Others went inside the Capitol for a handful of minutes but never attacked anyone or vandalized anything. Most have no criminal record. A large chunk of the people in the mob said they never intended to infiltrate the Capitol, let alone disrupt Congress’ certification of the 2020 election results. Some believe they were waved into the building by police.
Regardless of this, CNN is losing their minds, as are the other Credentialed Media, in a way they failed to after Biden pardoned/commuted 2,500 drug and other offenders, oh, and, hey, how about Leonard Peltier, who murdered two FBI agents.
Were they rioters or protesters? They sure as hell weren’t insurrectionists.
So much on a “case by case” basis! LOL. Beating a Capitol Police officer is the same as walking around inside the building.
Most of the mob were enraged idiots mad that their cult leader had lost the election, bigly. Big Donnie egged them on, promised to lead them there, then hid.
Why stop there? Why not empty our prisons of all convicts?
America don’t need no stinkin’ courts! All we need is a King of Enormous Strength!
Funny-“egged them on…”
Was it the “protest peacefully and patriotically” line that egged them on?
“Why not empty our prisons of all convicts?”
Old Joe tried to-about 8000 total pardons, by far more than any other president since Truman, who came in second, Obama third. And old Joe only served 4 years
President Biden pardoned 6500 for marijuana possession. King Donnie pardoned 1500 for storming the US Capitol to stop or delay a Constitutional Congressional function.
King Donnie released hundreds of violent criminals. He let the leaders of his Private Militia out of jail. Stand back and stand by!! You’ll get your orders!!
Oh, my-storming the Capital. You mean the ones shown walking calmly in single file through the velvet ropes in the rotunda? Or the ones “storming through gates that were opened up by Capital guards?
Another good one- “stop or delay a Constitutional congressional function”.
So were the Dems trying to help presidential functions along by 2 impeachments and the bogus “Russian collusion”? I didn’t think so…
No, I meant the ones storming the Capitol. Breaking doors and windows. Battering the Capitol Police.
Again, the storming was planned/scheduled for exactly when Congress was certifying the election. Big Sydney Powell was trying to get another objection to the Supreme Court hoping to stop the certification. Surprise, the President of the Senate (VP Pence) and Speaker Pelosi didn’t flee, but instead came back once Trump’s nitwits were removed, and did the People’s business.
Impeachments and the appointmet of special counsels are indeed Constitutional.
Please don’t forget what Big Donnie was trying to do – pressuring state officials to change their vote outcomes, pressuring state officials to submit ‘alternative’ (i.e. fraudulent) electoral votes.
Yes, Big Donnie got away with it by getting reelected (although he admitted to cheating in PA). Note that SCOTUS made it impossible to try a sitting president. Trump can have people assassinated, then pardon the assassins!!
Big Donnie should be in prison.
Oh, really now.
You meant another fantasy?
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!

Apparently I missed the distinguished Mr Dowds comment excoriating former President Biden — and how dearly I love being able to refer to him as former President Biden! — for all of the pre-emptive pardons he issued.
Most of the political prisoners had already served their sentences, so they had already been punished, which is something which won’t happen to those the former President pardoned. Former and now current President Trump was able to clear their records, but he can’t give them their lost time back, while former and always former President Biden has been able to save those he pardoned from being punished at all.
The most that those who have been pardoned by the dummkopf from Delaware have ‘suffered’ is that the acceptance of a pardon is a legal confession of guilt.
N.B. – All the pardoned Capitol stormers have now confessed THEIR guilt, as well.
Big Donnie has released Americans clearly guilty of assaulting police officers!
Over 80% of President Biden’s pardons were for Americans in prison for possessing marijuana. Ho hum. His ‘pre-emptive’ pardons of his family members, and those patriots on Donnie’s enemy lists were worth the risk of a potential ‘legal confession of guilt’.
Fat Donnie Mob Boss had to release all the stormers to support his false narrative (parroted by the like of Jl) that it was a solely patritoic and peaceful protest. Do youse guys believe the hours of video were AI fakes?
Rimjob having trouble keeping all of his lies straight.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!

I’m gonna tell Mr Teach he’s to hire a new defender. The Pissant has lost his edge. Like david1951 he’s reduced to just typing “liar”! LOL.
Aw, who knew Rimjob really cared?
You really are a lonely old bastard in want of attention, ain’t cha?
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!

Go fuck yourself, you ignorant prick.
Teach typed: how about Leonard Peltier, who murdered two FBI agents
Mr Peltier was only convicted of killing two FBI agents. As we’ve learned, felony convictions are meaningless. Anyway, the FBI is corrupt and needs to be eradicated.
We live in what is now called “post-reality” America, thanks to social media, for profit media, streaming, Meta, Instagram, tweeter, tiktok, etc. Everything and nothing are true!!
Teach typed: Unlike the way they went after those who firebombed a federal justice center, which was, not much.
Nearly 1000 protesters were arrested. 74 were charged.
But whatabout… Recall that then-president Trump led the storming of the US Capitol in an attempt to delay or stop the Constitutionally-required certification of the election results. He watched the mob on television.
Thanks, Fat Donnie!for making Americans less safe.
Fat Donnie renamed The Gulf of Mexico, The Gulf of ‘Murica!!!
The Caribbean Sea will now be known as the Sea of Trump.
Canada is now known as West Trumplandia.
The Panama Canal is now known as the Canal of Don.
Greenland is East Trumplandia.

BTW, the video of Big Donnie masturbating two men at once isn’t as impressive as Teach believes. LOL.
Please ask President Trump to issue an EO preventing any comments from Eelwood p dowd from appearing here.
Maybe Fat Donnie the Mob Boss can repeal the First Amendment as he did the 14th!!!
Anyway, Mr Teach can block me at any time. You should pledge to stop reading his blog until he does!!
Ellie,
I hope you don’t get blocked.
I need the laughter.
Poor little Rimjob doesn’t have a shovel large enough to handle all the bullshit he’s dropping.
Johnny, we hardly knew ye.
Shoulda kept your yap shut, dumbass.
