January 6th marks a significant moment as Matthew and Andrew Valentin have been released from the DC jail following President Trump's historic pardon. Colin Grasim, the White House Liaison to the Justice Department, confirmed their release and expressed that this injustice in America is coming to an end. He mentioned that many in the administration, including Elon Musk, were aware of the situation. The two defendants, Matthew and Andrew Valentin, are now free, and there is anticipation regarding the release of others involved in the January 6th events. Grasim reiterated the importance of this moment in history as they leave the facility.

It's a week before Christmas, and my son has been incarcerated for 1,432 days, having been through 14 different prisons as a political prisoner. I visit him every Wednesday, enduring a long trip for just an hour together. I empathize with all January 6 families during these tough times. We hope President Trump will release all January 6 prisoners and commute their sentences, ending this political persecution by the Biden administration. My son is a hero who saved lives that day, and we want him and others to return home to their families as productive citizens. Merry Christmas to all January 6 families, and may the New Year bring hope for their release.

I'm not going to talk about J6. This obsession with January 6 is absurd, everyone outside of here is sick of it. People are more concerned about Biden pardoning murderers and rapists than J6ers who walked through open doors. I hope the pardoned J6ers can live their lives and reassemble something because they've suffered enough. What about the Antifa BLM people who never served time, or the communities burned to the ground that were never rebuilt? The Democrat-run networks are nauseating with their January 6th coverage, they don't care about real Americans. People care about the border, the economy, energy, and are sick of foreign wars and the hypocrisy here. The media isn't trusted and people are sick of them.

Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on his last day in office, which has sparked controversy. This action is unusual, especially considering the incoming administration led by Donald Trump. Biden's decision seems driven by a lack of trust in how his family would be treated under Trump's justice department. What are your thoughts on this? Let me know in the chat.

It's never acceptable to assault a police officer. Regarding DJ Rodriguez, who used a stun gun on an officer during the Capitol riot and later confessed, the question of his pardon arises. However, many murderers today go uncharged, particularly in cities like Philadelphia and LA. Those who have served time in harsh conditions deserve consideration. In places like Portland and Minneapolis, where violence occurred and no one was held accountable, the situation is troubling. I decided to grant pardons, similar to Joe Biden, who also pardoned numerous criminals. Questions should focus on his pardons, including those for his relatives and associates.

We acknowledge the tragic losses of some January 6th offenders who took their own lives after facing severe consequences. The Department of Justice, FBI, and the January 6th committee bear responsibility for this. Restorative justice is crucial. We are uniting January 6th defenders and advocates globally to demand accountability for the government's actions and the harm caused. Our goal is to pursue historic civil damages and collaborate with the incoming Trump administration to ensure justice is served. We must hold government officials accountable for upholding the Constitution and not violating civil rights. Strong laws exist that need enforcement, and we require a reckoning with these institutions. Additionally, I spent time in solitary confinement but have since received a full pardon from the president.

I was going to discuss the January 6 hostages and the actions being taken regarding them. There's a lot happening, and you'll see more action soon. I also wanted to address Joe's recent pardons for individuals guilty of serious crimes, particularly related to the unselect committee that destroyed crucial information, including evidence about Nancy Pelosi rejecting an offer of 10,000 soldiers for security. Even 500 soldiers could have made a difference that day, despite the large crowd. There are many great photos from that day that aren't shown, focusing instead on the Capitol events. I was encouraged to wait to discuss these topics, but I felt it was important to bring them up now.

The president decided to address the cases of 1,500 individuals affected by the Department of Justice's actions over the past 48 months. Many were arrested for minor infractions, including two grandmothers jailed for being near the Capitol. This politicization of justice raises concerns about fairness. The president's recent pardons for 21 individuals protesting against abortion reflect a commitment to restore balance in the justice system. Critics argue that these actions make the country less safe, but the president counters that reversing politically motivated prosecutions is a step toward safety. He highlights the disparity in sentencing, noting that a career criminal received only 27 months for burning down a police station, while others faced harsher penalties for lesser offenses. The president aims to secure the nation while addressing these injustices.

It's shocking to witness the president's use of power to pardon 1,500 to 1,600 individuals, including those who may have committed violent acts against law enforcement. Notably, one of the pardoned individuals is a leader of the Proud Boys, highlighting the troubling nature of these early actions. It's hard to fathom that just hours after the Capitol attack, the person who incited it is granting pardons to those involved. This sets a grim tone for the new administration, though it's not entirely unexpected.

I'm frustrated with Merrick Garland using the Department of Justice for political purposes instead of impartially enforcing the law. It's time to stop complaining and take action. I'm announcing that I will hold all Department of Justice nominees accountable, because Garland will use them to harass political opponents. We need to halt this department until Garland promises to do his job and stop targeting political adversaries. Donald Trump is just one example. We've seen Catholic fathers harassed for pro-life activism, while violent criminals walk free after the 2020 riots. Harassing Christian parents while letting criminals go is pure politics, not justice. Let's slow down this department until Garland changes course and does his job correctly.

If smart, focus on January 6th: Trump should not pardon Capitol attackers. They are thugs, not hostages. Trump's support for them is a mistake. We need leadership that stands for law and order, not violence. As a Republican, I want a Republican president, but we must choose wisely. Trump's association with the attackers is wrong. We should find, try, and jail those who attacked the Capitol. Let's trust the jury system and law enforcement to bring justice.

The Supreme Court ruled that the felony charges against many January 6 protesters were unjust and should not have happened. We have been unfairly persecuted, prosecuted, and imprisoned. It is time to release my people.

January 6 was a direct threat to democracy and the safety of those protecting it, including Capitol Police and local officers. Many off-duty officers rushed to help, and numerous still suffer from injuries sustained that day. The pardons issued by Trump for those involved in the violence are a betrayal of law enforcement and undermine their sacrifices. These pardons included individuals who assaulted officers and committed heinous acts, sending a dangerous message that such violence is acceptable. Despite previous support for law enforcement, many now defend these pardons, which diminishes their credibility. Trump’s actions have released violent individuals back into communities, raising concerns about future criminal acts. I yield back.

Thank you, President Trump, for pardoning me. I appreciate you pardoning myself and all the January sixers. Thank you for giving me my freedom back. Trump, thank you for the pardon. You saved me. Thank you so much for having our backs and getting us home to our families. Thank you, Donald Trump, for giving me a pardon. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, from my kids, my family, and friends. You gave me seven years of freedom back. Thank you for pardoning us, President Trump, for pardoning me and saving our lives and our family. Thank you for my pardon.

I'm grateful to President Trump for pardoning individuals involved in the January 6th incident, especially since over 95% of Antifa and BLM rioters faced no consequences for their actions. The focus on January 6th is misplaced; people care more about border security, the economy, and foreign wars. The media's obsession with this event is seen as disconnected from the concerns of everyday Americans. While there were violent incidents during the January 6th riot, comparing them to serious crimes that Joe Biden has pardoned, like murder and assault, is not fair. It's time to move on and prioritize what truly matters to the public, rather than dwelling on past events.

Axios reports that Trump's pardons related to January 6 were a last-minute decision, with Trump instructing his team to "release them all." Concerns arise over pardoning individuals convicted of violent acts during the Capitol attack. One congressman, who was present that day, acknowledges the lawbreaking but argues that many did not receive due process. He defends Trump's decisions, questioning why the media does not focus on those who were not pardoned. The discussion shifts to accountability, with the congressman asserting that if released individuals reoffend, it should not solely fall on Trump, just as Biden shouldn't be blamed for others' actions. The conversation highlights ongoing political divisions and differing perspectives on law enforcement and justice.

I walked out of the DC Gulag after four years and six days, now a free man thanks to President Trump’s pardon. We sincerely thank him for his support, but the fight isn’t over. Many of my comrades remain imprisoned due to unjust charges from the DOJ. Jeremy Brown, a Green Beret, and Edward Kelly, a former Marine and father, are still behind bars, along with others like Dominic Bach and Daniel Ball. The pardon did not cover all charges related to January 6. We urge the president to expand the pardon to include these unjust charges. God bless America.

Hey everyone, it's Senator Mark Kelly. I'm reflecting on the recent pardons granted by President Trump to individuals involved in the January 6 assault on police officers. As the son of two police officers and an FBI agent, I find it outrageous that those who attacked law enforcement at the Capitol are not facing consequences for their actions. It's a troubling moment for our country.

Two weeks ago on Fox News, you mentioned that those who protested peacefully on January 6th should be pardoned, while those who committed violence should not. You also noted that there are gray areas in these cases, particularly regarding the Department of Justice's handling of prosecutions, which you believe involved double standards and denial of constitutional rights. Regarding specific cases of violence against police officers, you clarified that while such violence is not justified, the focus should be on the unfair prosecution by the DOJ. You argue that the pardon power is not reserved for perfect individuals, and the decision to pardon was about rectifying perceived injustices in the legal process.

I advocate daily for true justice regarding January 6th. We need to shift the narrative to focus on exoneration for the innocent and significant restitution for those affected. This is not just about pardons; it's about doing what is right and addressing the constitutional violations committed by the DOJ under Merrick Garland and Matthew Graves. Our nation must confront the reality of January 6th and the institutional problems that arose from it. This is a critical issue that requires our attention.

I'm granting a full pardon to former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. I believe he was wrongly targeted and given an unfairly harsh eighteen-year sentence. He's a good person with a supportive wife who fought hard for him. This pardon allows him to live a normal life. While I considered him for an ambassadorship, that's not happening, though I believe he's as clean as anyone here. This was a terrible injustice, and it's my honor to correct it.

We were federal prosecutors on the Justice Department's Capitol attack investigation until the Trump administration fired us on January 31st. Why were we fired? Because we did our job. We followed the facts and the law. What we did was justice for 140 police officers wounded on January 6th, 2021. We were hired to prosecute cases from the riot, and none of our defendants were acquitted, which shows the evidence was overwhelming. But last month, the president pardoned even the most violent convicts, calling them "hostages." Letters of termination hit the Justice Department, calling the prosecution itself a grave national injustice. Anyone who has watched videos of January 6th knows that prosecuting the rioters was not the injustice. The injustice has been the Department of Justice turning its back on law enforcement officers, members of Congress, and all the victims affected.

There's no real unity among Democrats; their intentions are clear. Joe Biden has pardoned his family, General Milley, Anthony Fauci, and members of the January 6 committee, showing a blatant disregard for accountability. Until Democrats start supporting Republican initiatives and voting for President Trump's agenda, we cannot talk about unity. The MAGA agenda must be prioritized, as it reflects the mandate given by the American people. It's frustrating to see Democrats claim that no one is above the law while they protect their own. The pardons seem preemptive and blanket, raising concerns about fairness and justice.

We need to differentiate between the pardons happening today. Joe Biden's pardons, particularly for those involved in January 6th, are distinct from others. Donald Trump ran on a platform of retribution, which is not constitutional. Pardoning his family is unfortunate and clouds his actions. The events of January 6th were unprecedented, and those pardoned undermined our constitution and the election process. Many people felt their lives were not better under Trump, leading them to elect Joe Biden. Therefore, we should categorize these pardons separately, as not all pardons are equal.

We need to distinguish between the pardons being issued today. Joe Biden's pardons, especially for those involved in the January 6th events, differ significantly from others. Donald Trump campaigned on a platform of retribution, which is not constitutional. While I am a Democrat and find it unfortunate that Trump pardoned his family, the pardons related to January 6th are particularly concerning. They reflect a disregard for the constitution and the electoral process, as many felt their lives were not improved under Trump. Therefore, we should categorize these pardons separately, as not all pardons hold the same weight or significance.
