This week, Karl Rove, the political genius who guided former President George W. Bush to two election victories, predicted that Trump's pledge to review all the cases of the January 6 defendants and pardon those who deserve clemency"will sink his campaign. There isn't an innocent person in the whole bunch. They illegally trespassed on government property while official proceedings were underway."
Rove rejected claims that the mostly peaceful January 6 demonstrators should be treated the same way that those demonstrating against the death of George Floyd in 2020 while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers were, saying "none of the Floyd protesters terrified the members of Congress like the January 6 crowd did. The billions of dollars in property damage and the 19 deaths that occurred during the Floyd protests did not directly challenge the right of the national government's rule over the people. They were not insurrectionists."
One of the "thugs" that Rove feels needs to be taught to obey the law is 71-year-old grandmother Rebecca Lavrenz. This week she was convicted of entering the Capitol through wide-open doors at 2:43 pm on January 6, 2021 and exiting at 2:53 pm. The penalty for her misdemeanor infractions could amount to fines up to $200,000 and up to one year of imprisonment.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has refused to disclose the identity of suspected FBI agents present in the January 6 crowd. January 6 defendant William Pope asserts that "they are witnesses crucial to my defense." A redacted DOJ spokesman explained that "every advanced nation has secret police. We can't expect to keep up with our adversaries if we don't exploit this same capability. The enemies of democracy are the most serious problem this country has ever had to face. Suppressing this threat is a risky job. The identities of the brave men, women and non-binary individuals doing this job must remain private. There is already enough evidence to convict Mr. Pope without any testimony from these agents."

No it won’t, it is a play to motivate the base. Those who are upset about it probably were never going to vote for Trump.
Listening to Karl Rove will sink any Parotitic American listens to him.
Rove is a Bushie Rino who is well past his prime. It is “consultants” like him whose advise have lost Republican seats in Congress and the Presidency. Rove’s “political genius” is far overstated.
I don’t believe this. There was a 69 year old cancer grandma who got 90 days in prison for WALKING into the capitol and then the 71 yr old grandma who was PRAYING that gets up to 1 yr in prison and $200,000 fine. I would LOVE to see them pardoned.

And then there are stories like this. America has lost its moral compas. Maybe we should find these guys and cut off the offensive part. Won’t do THAT again.
KARL....SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP. WE ARE SICK OF YOUR STUPIDITY AND LACK OF SUPPORT.
DAMN RINO!!!!!
Rove, you inglorious bastard.
Pardon all Political Prisoners! Jan 6 was a fake way to tarnish Trump—The agents who were there, should be the ones in jail or at least fired from the FBI-CIA etc...
I recall either Hunter or Biden bragged years ago that they ‘trespassed’ at the capitol - wish I could find that meme right about now.
Ever since they redefined trespassing from being escorted past gates and through doorways by Capitol police to ‘Republicans or MAGA at the Capitol!’, federal prisons and kangaroo courts have been busier.
Obama and Biden welcome Rove into their company with joy and abandon!
It’s hard to separate the satirical from the real elements of your post. That’s scary.
I predict Rove will take it right in the shorts.
Again.
Good, you shouldn't. It's satire.
This man is a blatant prevaricator. Code Pink disrupted official proceedings literally dozens of times during Dubya's administration, screaming, unfurling banners and holding up bloody hands in Senate hearings, shrieking in the corrodors outside the congressional offices, on and on, as Fatboy Rove knows very well. Code Pink also teamed up with Cindy Sheehan, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and other Soros-funded groups to demonstrate all over the Federal area, in front of the Capitol and Congressional office buildings, the White House, Walter Reed, the State Department and several embassies, for his ENTIRE terms of office.
Karl Rove, jam that white board of yours up your fat ass and hobble off to obscurity.
What an asshat he’s proven to be
Remember Rove You Magnificent Bastard chorus here from the uniparty wolf packs who used to run amnesty Free Republic
Some still here
I have a looooooong memory
Not much illustrates this precarious moment in history better than "semi" satire.
Rove is garbage.
Rove is a never Trumper.
