Weeks before the riot, Stewart Rhodes told his supporters to prepare for civil war. Sky's James Matthews asked him what he meant.

Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the so-called Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison, but is now a free man after being pardoned by Donald Trump.

I’m usually for just moving forward but not this time.

People were hurt and lives crushed and it needs to be rectified.

Or it may happen again.

Trump isn’t president for eternity

And to be frank, we are counting on him to change everything...but in a way...when do we count on ourselves instead of just one man...a miraculous man! :)

But one man..it’s not fair.

We will give vocal support to him whenever he needs.

And any other he needs, I think.

The 100% conviction rate against J6ers is defacto proof the system was rigged against these people. Across the board.

“...is being...” means thT Rhoads is still expecting a full pardon after the Trump Administration has completed it’s own investigation.

Does that surprise anyone? 98% of the “trials” wee staged productions with manufactured “evidence”. Every single. Person involved in persecuting.the J6 citizens should be in prison for an equal number of years and more.

The J6ers incarcerated into prison, were placed into prison, by the true criminals. The true criminals continue their hate of Americans. The true criminals legislate and make laws while disrespecting and disregarding the laws that they Do Not Obey. Yet the true criminals are not punished because the courts have protected the true breakers of the laws. May the pendulum and the sword swing to serving, protecting, and incarcerating the true law breakers in America’s government. In Jesus name I pray. amen amen.

And Ashli Babbitt’s murderer.

Biden preemptively pardoned him.

What incredibly stupid questions and outright false claims this reporter makes.

No cops died as a result of Jan 6. Even Brian Sicknick’s own family has said he died of natural causes and asked the media to stop falsely claiming it was due to Jan 6.

Secondly the DC Swamp is a 92 to 5 Jurisdiction. Of course you cannot obtain a fair trial there. That’s to say nothing of what corrupt political hacks the DC judges are.

He’s exactly right. All of those J6 kangaroo court show trials where right out of the old USSR handbook. This isn’t America when it comes to justice and courts. It’s the USSR.

The Constitution needs an amendment stating that any crimes committed by employees of the federal government are to be tried outside of DC in a state chosen by lottery each time.

The headline told me all I needed to know about this source.

By the way, are those Capitol Building videos that “We The People” ever going to be released? I want to see how our Representatives behaved in The House Chamber.

A “jury of ones peers” manifestly would not include residents of DC. 1,600 citizens deprived of justice will not go unnoticed.

Well said. The real Democrat swamp is at the non-governmental levels — the schools, the corporate boards, the woke churches, the entertainment industries. Draining then is going to take time and sacrifice.

Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
