Gerald Ford gave a preemptive pardon to Nixon, but nobody challenged it so it’s still a gray area.

And Carter pardoned thousands of draft dodgers who were never charged, preempting prosecution. Biden recently pardoned all persons who committed the offense of simple possession of marijuana "regardless of whether they have been charged with or prosecuted for this offense". I don't think it's really gray. As you wrote, pardon power is very broad. It just has to be a federal offense.

A travesty. Charges way out of proportion to what actually took place.

And so the left continues its return to historical form, persecuting its enemies via politicized courts and intelligence agencies.

Go crawl back in your Tokyo hole. No one wants to hear your nonsensical blabbering.

"Unfortunately I agree. I do not see this being cleared up by any legislation either local or national. They have succeeded in overthrowing the USA with dishonest elections. Over the next 10-12 years they will dismantle anything involving the rest of our rights. The dark is coming."

Likely true. an actual nuclear exchange with Russia might be better than the US becoming a CCP imitation.

What happened to Ray Epps? There are numerous vids of he and several cohorts with bullhorns encouraging other protesters to storm the Capitol. Why was he not sent to prison???? Recently a war hero was prosecuted for just taking vids of others entering the Capitol but Ray Epps is given preferential treatment. Why?

What a shock...

12 Democrat jurors, a Democrat judge, and a Democrat Prosecutor, convict five Conservatives of sedition.

Did I forget to mention that the Conservatives had five Democrat Public Defenders?

I will phrase this carefully: What we are seeing in this story is exactly what I would expect to see IF Mr. Rhodes were a Judas goat for the feds. He as the leader being the case that normalizes harsh sentences given to lesser members of the organization.

IF such were true, one would naturally expect Mr. Rhodes to somehow be relieved from serving his sentence. One option would be to follow in the footprints of Epstein.

Trump would pardon all of them

Why didn't he do that between January 7 and January 19, 2021?

Was it because he was too busy pardoning Charles Kushner?

When conservative websites used to speculate about what to call Hillary’s actions and Obama’s in things such as sending pallets of untraceable cash to our enemies in return for favors and selling out our security one time after another, we tossed terms around.

Level headed people said old time “sedition” and “treason” haven’t been charged for a long time. Citing the long ago trials such as: Smith Act trials of 11 Communist Party leaders in New York—1949....

Trump was no longer president when most of these folks were locked up. The gathering happened on Jan 6, he was outta there 2 weeks later.

They went after him as a prize. I loved him. This is so sad.

Oath keepers out west rocked the Bundy ranch. I almost went but the highways were crammed to a stop.
