President Clinton, over 140 police officers were injured on January 6th. Will you pardon anyone who attacks a police officer? The only person killed was Ashley Babbitt, who was shot without cause while allegedly trying to hold back the crowd. There were no charges of insurrection, and it's notable that no guns were found among the rioters. The FBI's reputation has declined, and they seem to know the identity of the pipe bomber but haven't acted. I’m suing the FBI for their actions, which have harmed my reputation. The Department of Justice has become politicized against me. Judges in New York have been unfair, valuing my properties inaccurately. Despite these challenges, we have won most of our cases. Can I ask my question? Back to Greenland, your position is clear.

Speaker 0 questions the president's actions: "You're gonna honor first responders today, but you pardon hundreds of people who assaulted first responders. Why did you do that?" He also says, "Yeah. But you pardoned people who assaulted first responders." Speaker 1 replies: "No. I pardoned people that were assaulted themselves. They were assaulted by our government. I fired I pardoned j six people who were assaulted by our government. That's who assaulted, and they were treated unfairly." He continues: "There's never been a group of people in this country outside of maybe one instance that I can think of, but I won't get into it, that were treated more horribly than the people of J Six. So, no. I didn't assault. They didn't assault. They were assaulted." "And what I did was a great thing for humanity. They were treated very, very unfairly. There's never been an incident like it."

Pardoning individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol violence was a mistake, as it may suggest that such actions are acceptable. This could lead to increased violence and undermines law enforcement. While Trump has generally supported law enforcement, his decision to issue these pardons disappointed many in that community. He had previously indicated he would do so, which was not surprising. The broader issue of pardoning those who commit violent acts or destroy property, regardless of political affiliation, raises concerns about the abuse of presidential pardon power.

Your party supports law enforcement, but if released prisoners commit crimes, should Trump be held accountable? No more than Biden should be for his policies. If Biden charges offenders who reoffend, he bears responsibility. Why can't your party admit when Trump is wrong? If offenders like the Proud Boys reoffend after being released, isn't Trump responsible? If judges are Trump-appointed, they face consequences; if Biden-appointed, they often walk free. During the Black Lives Matter protests, many offenders weren't prosecuted. You claim there's no coverage of riots, but that’s not true. I left the White House during a riot, and my life was threatened, yet there's no coverage of that. If they break the law, they go to jail. I asked you to acknowledge if you think the pardons are wrong. Those released under Soros-backed DAs often commit worse crimes without punishment. Thank you for your time.

You think about Trump pardoning the January? Not so good. There were crimes that were committed. I did nine hundred days in solitary confinement, four years and six days without a trial in the DC Jail. I was never convicted. I was pardoned on 01/21/2025. I was arrested January 16. I never had a trial. Do you think that's wrong. No. That's wrong. So why was pardoning us wrong then? We had no chance in the DC Jail, in the DC court system. Is it a crime to stand up for your country against a stolen election? If you were an American, yes. Not would die. If the Democrats arrested you that you would get a fair jury trial in DC? I would certainly hope so. But but Republicans don't. Trump supporters don't. You're hoping it does not make it true. Bureaucrats, they couldn't care less about their constituency.

Joe Biden's Department of Justice has caused significant suffering, and justice feels delayed for many. I want to express my gratitude to President Trump for keeping his promise to pardon the January 6th defendants on his first day in office, despite pushback from some Republicans. This act will alleviate a lot of pain and is a crucial first step toward healing and justice for those whose lives have been devastated by the actions of the current administration.

Axios reports that Trump's pardons related to January 6 were a last-minute decision. One adviser claimed Trump said, "f it, release them all." Concerns were raised about pardoning violent offenders who attacked the Capitol, with calls for a clear response on whether these actions were justified. The congressman acknowledged the lawbreaking but highlighted that many were charged under federal law without due process. He argued that not all offenders were released and questioned the focus on those pardoned. The discussion shifted to broader issues of law enforcement and accountability, with the congressman suggesting that political motivations influenced the treatment of offenders. Ultimately, he deflected responsibility for potential future crimes committed by released individuals, comparing it to other political figures' actions. The conversation ended without a definitive stance on the pardons.

There’s a claim that Democrats lack a strong argument against recent pardons by President Biden, including those for family members and an activist convicted of killing two FBI agents. However, it's crucial to recognize that this issue transcends party lines. Biden has indeed pardoned many individuals, and he should explain his decisions. The key difference is that those pardoned by Biden did not engage in violent actions against law enforcement or attempt to overthrow the government, which resulted in injuries and trauma to police officers. This situation is not merely a partisan issue; it’s about accountability and the gravity of actions taken.

More than 170 January 6 defendants are accused of using dangerous weapons against law enforcement, sending a message that politics may overshadow policing. Pardoning violent criminals could endanger communities and impact law enforcement morale. Many Capitol Police officers feel angry and upset, believing they did their job properly on that day, while the pardons suggest the actions of the defendants were acceptable. This issue extends beyond former President Trump; former President Biden also commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier, who killed two FBI agents in 1975. This sends a troubling message to law enforcement, implying that the deaths of officers in the line of duty can be overlooked, which is deeply hurtful to the families of those agents.

If we are issuing pardons, President Trump should pardon Derek Chauvin from federal charges. The railroading of Chauvin was the inciting event for the BLM riots. Evidence suggests Chauvin didn't murder George Floyd, who was high on fentanyl and had a heart condition, even saying he couldn't breathe before exiting the car. Chauvin's knee was often on Floyd's shoulder or back, not his neck, and the autopsy showed no trachea damage, suggesting excited delirium as the cause of death. Despite the lack of hate crime accusations and the scanty evidence, Chauvin was convicted amidst massive pressure on the jury. He's rotting in prison because the media turned a tragic event into the cause of the 2020 election, leading to chaos and damaged race relations. President Trump should consider pardoning Chauvin on federal charges. Go to pardonderek.com and sign our petition asking President Trump to grant justice to officer Derek Chauvin.

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.

Those involved in the violent protests should face consequences, particularly those who assaulted police officers. The actions on the Supreme Court side were unlawful, and those who trespassed should be held accountable. There’s no justification for the violence that occurred. Regarding pardons, Trump has stated he would consider cases individually, not universally. It's important to recognize that Ashley Babbitt was the only person who died on January 6th, and her presence was influenced by Trump's claims about a stolen election. The investigation into that day should have been thorough for transparency. The public deserves to see the full picture of what transpired.

Rudy Giuliani has suggested the possibility of pardoning himself, claiming he has that authority, though it hasn't been tested in court. This raises concerns about the precedent it sets and how it affects perceptions of justice in the nation. The justice department will operate independently, and I won't dictate their actions or prosecutions. The people I appoint to lead the department will have the autonomy to make decisions on prosecutions. In our administration, we will not adopt a similar approach to pardons.

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.

This past week, a record 1,500 commutations were granted, the highest number in a single day. Among those commuted were individuals involved in serious crimes, including a judge linked to a cash-for-kids scheme that imprisoned many, a man guilty of tax fraud costing over $1.6 billion, and a woman involved in a $26 million Medicare fraud scheme. Are you comfortable with these decisions? No, I’m not. There was also a man in Duluth running a major drug operation who had money hidden under his bathroom tiles that was commuted. I also disagreed with the pardon of the president's son.

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.

Mister Speaker, President Biden's recent pardons for his family were shocking and unprecedented. It’s hard to believe he would issue pardons for over a decade of nonviolent offenses. Four years ago, when there were hints that President Trump might do something similar, prominent figures like Biden, Schiff, and Schumer condemned it as outrageous. Now, they support Biden's actions, which we find disgusting. This raises suspicions about the so-called "Biden crime family." If they truly weren't involved in wrongdoing, why would they need pardons? This issue will receive significant attention, and we will be examining it closely.

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.

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.

Joining us are former federal prosecutors Jason Manning and Ashley Akers, discussing the implications of recent pardons. Jason Manning expresses concern that these pardons send a damaging message, particularly highlighted by Sergeant Genell of the Capitol Police, who described them as a mockery of the sacrifices made by officers defending democracy on January 6. Manning emphasizes that this suggests crimes committed in the name of the president are acceptable, undermining the integrity of the justice system and the support police officers need to do their jobs effectively.

Speaker 0: Upon taking office, I also ended the weaponization of law enforcement against religious believers and pardoned the pro life activist thrown in jail by Joe Biden for saying that.

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.
