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?
Most Americans seem to be too soft on crime, since they allowed a criminal to become president.
The most egregious Jan 6th case is Trump.
Interesting taking the approach of “most important cases first” now. What were they doing, calling them in by last name?
This practice of appointing Republicans to critical positions to demonstrate bipartisanship has got to stop. (If the Dems ever get another chance, at least)
This has been one of the worst justice departments.
To be clear trumps was far worse. But its exactly that point that makes Bidens so bad. Trump shouldve been arrested day 1 for inciting an insurrection. Barr shouldve also been arrested, he was literally convicted of criminal contempt of congress and was supposed to be in jail the entire time. The assassination of Epstein and his ties to both Trump and Barr needed investigating. The Attorney General, the Justice Department, are the authority on enforcement of law, and there just was none for Bidens tenure.
It’s been four ducking years, should have been plenty of time to prosecute everyone, including Trump
