Trump and DeSantis call for pardons, but true to form, Mike Pennies says no.

Derick Chauvin should be pardoned as well.

He should be pardoned but they made sure he was convicted of both state and federal offenses to ensure that the President could not pardon him.

I do not want them all pardoned, some were truly engaged in violent destructive and illegal behavior.. but if your only crimn was you entered the capital through open doors and millled around and wound up with the book thrown at you, rather than an appropriate sentence for your acts then yes you should be pardoned and if you haven’t even made it to trial yet and still incarcerated for such low level acts absolutely

Believe it’s a case by case based not a blanket no one will face consequences for anything

I also want Ashley Babbitt killer to face charges.

I would like to see Pelosi and company charged with corruption for how they willfully mishandled the whole thing.

J6 protestors should be treated the same way other participants in demonstrations that go bad are treated. Those guilty of no more than trespass should be given light sentences, such as a six-month suspended sentence (which means that their conviction goes away after six months if they keep their nose clean). Those convicted of vandalism or assault, more severe sentences in accord with the seriousness of the offense. As it is, the feds got vindictiveness. The protestors - many of whom had no prior criminal record, were taxpayers, veterans, even members of law enforcement - were described as insurrectionists. The truth is, it’s kind of natural for losers of elections to question the election. The truth is, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats vigorously attempted to overturn the election of 2016. The truth is, shopkeepers in big cities boarded up their stores in anticipation of widespread rioting if Trump had been re-elected in 2020. The truth is, the FBI illegally joined with the Democrats to harass Trump starting in 2016 and continuing through 2020. It is time to reform federal law enforcement, and put this episode behind us, and reviewing the J6 cases and other cases of federal overreach is a needed part of putting this episode behind us.

I absolutely want this. DAY ONE - ALL OF THEM. And I want that bastard that murdered Ashli Babbitt put on trial. Don’t believe there’s any legal bar to that but I suppose I could be wrong.

I don’t just want them pardoned—I want them to get cash damages from anyone who assisted in their persecution.

That would include all members of the J6 Congressional Committee—who should pay out of their own pockets or replace the political prisoners in prison.

I agree Pelosi baited the trap and like most illegal traps she should be charged for each hour those people were incarcerated.

Only half support this? That’s not a good portend for any Republican election victories. The base is too fractured and won’t fully support any single issue. The dems on the other hand are usually %90+ in agreement on their stuff.

DeSantis changed his mind because he had to.

Most of the American public are ignorant when it comes to the facts surrounding J6 and the kangaroo courts that sentenced the so-called insurrectionists. It is imperative that the GOP- controlled House investigate J6 to counter the Dem/MSM propaganda. Time to release all of the video material to the public.

The treatment of the J6 prisoners is the greatest deprivation of civil liberties in US history, including the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII. The judicial system has been weaponized beyond belief.

There is a reason that J6 is called a Fedsurrection.

Pardoned and made whole. Getting jobs back and paid for all lost time at triple (No, ten times) their normal wages.

It should be case-by-case, but many/most should be pardoned.

My hunch is that there were some people there...at least a few...who deserve punishments of one degree or another. But it's obvious that the US Attorney in DC has been given instructions to "take no prisoners".

Most should be pardoned...perhaps even close to all of them.
