I hear you on the J6 rioters, ...but. The whole dishonest charade of the J6 committee and the lawfare waged against Trump, put him into an either-or position. He didn't pardon them all, and that is to his credit. The shooting of Ashley Babbitt was bad police work and Lt. Michael Byrd who shot her is a bad cop. The Dems pushed Trump into the corner over J6. It helped him to have them paint the tale as a battle between good and evil. Their overreach is a big part of why Trump won. The people know…
There may be some J-6rs that should have been convicted for assault and battery, and should have stayed in jail. But no one was armed and no police were killed. How long have those violent J-6rs served already? We know there weren't 1500 violent offenders. We don't know how many were FBI informants-agitators. When will Ray Epps be prosecuted?
Can you (or anyone else here) provide specifics on the Jan 6 people that were pardoned that shouldn't have been? What specifically did they do? How much time have they already served? I'm sorry but general statements about violence and hitting cops isn't enough. I may be wrong but I assume that those that committed "violence" or that were "hitting cops" have served 3 or 4 years. If I'm right then the specifics matter.
what you are highlighting is the need for real investigative journalism. It does not exist anymore. real journalists would have separated the facts from the fiction and gone through all of the dirty laundry. (On all sides.) the new generation sees its role to communicate the wishes of power and to gain fame and prestige that way.
Without evidence (was all destroyed), how could there be an impartial judgement made of the J6 individuals - not to mention the extreme punishment and making an "example" of the participants? That's a violation of the 8th amendment and while some nuance was in the J6 pardons, we will likely never know the truth. My opinion on those members still in Congress are they are censured and removed from committees. Shameful yet they feel zero shame, especially 4 still holding seats: Bennie Thompson (D-…
I agree with most of what you say, but related to J6 -- do we even know what really happened? The committee failed miserably because they didn't want the truth, they wanted to get Trump. Yes, any person who committed an act of violence should have been prosecuted. Most of the people at the Capitol that day weren't violent protesters. They shouldn't have been prosecuted at all. I wanted those responsible to be punished -- but was absolutely floored at the rhetoric coming from the media and the D…
