> WASHINGTON — **President Donald Trump said on Monday that he was issuing roughly 1,500 pardons** and commuting the sentences of six of his supporters in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, when thousands of them stormed the building amid his false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against him.
can’t wait to see Sarah Isgur spin this one 🙄

Expected but still a sickening abortion of justice.
Fascism, ho!
I don’t know guys, I don’t think this is going to lower egg prices either.
Ugh.
Pretty damn gross that Trump declared today he’ll “pardon the Jan 6th hostages” while *literally* standing in front of an actual freed Israeli hostage in Noa Argamni who was kept captive by Hamas terrorists. The Jan 6thers were crazy criminals and it’s utterly insulting to call them hostages. Makes me even more sympathetic to the belief that he and Bibi maybe colluded to prolong the finalization of the hostage release ceasefire deal too.
Can’t believe Trump would pardon all of these undercover Antifa agents
Every one of them?
Is this including the guy who was convicted of planning to murder the agents investigating him after J6?
Knew this was coming but still, holy fucking shit I didn’t know it would be this many.
Until the day I’ll die I’ll wonder how January 6th wasn’t the end of this
Reminder that if Mitch McConnell supported the impeachment then Trump likely gets convicted and is ineligible to run again.
