Summary
The Justice Department is accelerating efforts to arrest the most violent Jan. 6 rioters, particularly those who committed felonies against law enforcement, ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Trump has vowed to pardon some rioters, calling them “patriots” and “political prisoners.”
Prosecutors are instructed to expedite cases, emphasizing the need for justice for victims, primarily police officers who faced severe assaults.
Many prosecutors and victims, like retired Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, express dismay at the prospect of pardons, fearing it undermines accountability for the violence at the Capitol.
Remember all those ads about Kamala Harris being soft on crime?
Then remember how Trump won and pardoned a bunch of violent criminals?
To them they aren’t criminals, they’re white patriots and political prisoners. That’s the core problem.
Most Americans seem to be too soft on crime, since they allowed a criminal to become president.
Crimes are ok now. I’m planning a few myself
Amatuer, I’ve been download cars all this time.
Man, I’ve been watching people in movies kill Nazis my whole life. I will resist.
Just make sure that A: the victims of your crimes are women or minorities and B: you’re a rich white man
Don’t pay your bills. Paying bills is for losers. Winners default!
Criminal is a matter of perspective when your president is a felon.
