Summary

Emily Hernandez, a Trump-pardoned Jan. 6 Capitol rioter, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a 2022 drunk driving crash that killed Victoria Wilson and seriously injured her husband in Missouri.

Hernandez was driving on the wrong side of the highway at twice the legal alcohol limit.

She had previously served 45 days for stealing part of Nancy Pelosi’s office sign.

Her case adds to concerns over Trump’s pardons, as other pardoned rioters have faced new legal troubles.

    From your article:

    Houston criminal court records show that case was unresolved when Taake – out on $20,000 bail – participated in the attack on the US Capitol. According to the Chronicle, local prosecutors confirmed Friday that Taake was now considered a wanted fugitive in connection with the pending charge of solicitation of a minor. But Houston jail records showed he was not in custody as of three days later.

    Attempts to contact Taake were not immediately successful. And his attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    So I guess he did get out? And now he’s a fugitive… Why didn’t they check this shit before they let him out?

    Edit: clarity.

      Remember when Trump signed and executive order demanding all his pardons be processed immediately? He really leaned on them, and some of the people released came back to protest for the rest to be released faster

      Trump just decided he didn’t have time to look at them individually, so he let them all out… Then doubled down and pressured them to do without the normal process

      His whole project 2025 playbook is based around fear and confusion to gain dictatorial power, at least he’s still planning to crater the global economy this week…

        I’m sorry for ruining the one tiny positive thing you thought you’d found.

          It’s not your fault, it’s his fault.
