Summary
Senator Lindsey Graham rejected Donald Trump’s call to imprison officials who investigated the January 6 Capitol attack, stating on NBC’s Meet the Press that such individuals “should not go to jail.”
This marks a rare public disagreement between Graham, typically a Trump ally, and the former president. Trump had recently stated that investigators, including former January 6 committee leaders Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney, “should go to jail.”
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders denounced Trump’s comments as authoritarian and suggested Joe Biden consider pre-emptive pardons for investigators.
Over 1,250 people have been convicted for their roles in the Capitol attack.
Pardon them for what?
It’s not a pardon because they actually did anything illegal, just a preemptive measure to cut off Patels attempts.
Though, I’ve not really seen anyone even consider this but I’m not sure that they’ll even bother respecting the pardons. I absolutely believe they’ll still just go after hunter/ anyone else pardoned and nobody will stop them.
“Any crimes that may or may not have been committed from [Begining Date] to [End Date]”
