Ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s second White House term, judges are reportedly expressing concerns over Trump’s plans to pardon those individuals charged in connection with January 6.
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who oversaw the since-dismissed January 6 case from Jack Smith against Donald Trump, has reportedly had to reassure officers who were present on that day that "the rule of law still applies," however, she now says "I’m not sure I can do that very convincingly these days," per Politico.
A Trump-appointed judge has warned Trump against issuing a blanket pardon for those arrested, while an Obama-appointed judge said Wednesday that possible efforts to pardon former Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, who is serving an 18-year prison sentence for seditious conspiracy, would be "frightening." Trump has said that he is planning to pardon those non-violent J6 offenders, not those who have committed violence against officers.
Judges have moved ahead with January 6 cases despite defendants asking for their cases to be delayed in the possibility that Trump pardons them. Politico reported that "Judges have emphasized that his pardon power has no relationship to their obligation to mete out justice, and they have ignored, in Chutkan’s words, 'whatever happens outside this courthouse door.'"

The only fitting title for this “J6” chapter of human history is:
THE CABAL MEDIA FAKED AN INSURRECTION AND THEN PROSECUTED INNOCENT CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS
Don’t let any of the phony posts on this thread fool you into thinking any of the charges were justified.
EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM WAS POLITICAL!
A blanket pardon is the very least that should be done.
Democrats hate our country and are doing their level best to destroy it.
STFU TANYA, YOU TWIT!
She should be a prime target for impeachment and removal.
A few judicial impeachment scalps a year would work wonders.
Judges or just a couple of judges - US District Judges Tanya Chutkan and Royce Lamberth. After the revelations that FBI had their operatives at the Capitol on J6 stirring up trouble, I would hope these 2 judges could change their focus (or do everyone a favor and step down).
