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.
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)
The most egregious Jan 6th case is Trump.
Like the Fucker that goaded all these assclowns to come to capital?
…and then what? He still becomes president und zero justice will have been served.
