Why didn’t Trump pardon all of these people before he left office? I just don’t understand that.
Many of them had not been identified or charged at that time yet.
Requires a conviction to pardon
Some of them committed physical crimes, smashing windows, etc. These wee most likely the antifa instigators etc. So you really can't issue a blanket pardon.
In the two weeks between January 6 and the beginning of the Biden Regime hardly any of the protesters had been identified or charged with any crimes.
How do you give a blanket pardon to anyone who may have been present at or near the protest for anything they may have done? Even if such a nebulous group pardon had been possible, it would have covered ANTIFA instigators and actual crimes committed by a few rioters and police while not covering defendants who were later charged and convicted of conspiracy despite being nowhere near DC on January 6.
If Trump or any other Republican is elected President next year, his first official act immediately after being sworn in should be to issue a blanket commutation of all sentences of all J6 protesters, immediately releasing them from the gulag and restoring all VA and other earned benefits. He can then begin an orderly process of reviewing and granting full pardons to those that apply for and deserve them (publicly releasing the evidence of innocence that was suppressed by the Biden Regime).
After being released from the gulag some protesters may not want pardons and the imputed acceptance of guilt and may prefer to fight to clear their names in court without the deck stacked against them. Also, a few protesters (and several government actors) committed genuine crimes and should not be granted pardons.
25 years on Free Republic, and there's still so much you don't understand.
You WILL ignore the replies to your little political hit on Trump, of course...
How many bashes into Trump do you guys get with your little bumper cars before you have to take them in for repairs?
