President Trump Teases Possible MASS PARDONS of J6ers After Biden Pardons Hunter

President Trump just dropped a Truth Social post in response to Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter last night.

And, President Trump’s reaction seems to confirm for many that he is planning on issuing mass, full pardons to those were were arrested in connection to the Capitol protests on January 6, 2021.

Here’s President Trump’s Truth Social post:

Joe Biden’s official statement, in which he explained that he is pardoning Hunter due to what he calls a “miscarriage of justice” and an attempt by political opponents to “break” him, sets the perfect precedent for President Trump following suit and pardoning all of those who have really been unfairly prosecuted by the Justice Department…

In case you missed it, here’s Joe Biden’s full statement:

The New York Post reported:

President-elect Donald Trump hinted at mass pardons for defendants tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot  — with his team vowing he would also overhaul the “Democrat-controlled” Department of Justice — a little more than an hour after President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Sunday night.

“Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

The 45th president, who won back the White House last month, floated pardons during his campaign for the more than 1,500 defendants either still facing trials or those already convicted for breaching the Capitol as Congress was voting to certify Biden’s 2020 election win over Trump.

Forbes dropped some more potential names that President Trump could pardon:

Jan. 6 rioters: Trump asked in a Truth Social post “does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years?” after Biden announced Sunday, in a surprise move, that he had pardoned his son Hunter Biden for his felony conviction for lying on a federal gun form and his guilty plea for felony tax violations.

Trump has said repeatedly he would pardon people convicted in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, though it’s unclear who among the more than 1,500 charged would be subject to pardons; he told reporters in July “if they’re innocent, I would pardon them,” while his campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told the Washington Post in June Trump would decide “on a case-by-case basis” who to pardon.

Ross Ulbricht: Supporters of Ulbricht—sentenced in 2015 to life in prison for creating and operating the dark web marketplace Silk Road—tweeted days after Trump won the election “ROSS IS COMING HOME IN JANUARY,” after Trump pledged while speaking at the Libertarian National Convention in May that “on Day One, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht” (commutation is different from a pardon as it does not absolve an individual of guilt, but instead reduces their sentence).

Peter Navarro: Trump left open the possibility he would pardon his former trade adviser—who served a four-month prison sentence earlier this year on charges of contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena in connection with the House Jan. 6 Committee probe—telling reporters after voting in Florida on Election Day “he’s a good man, he was treated very unfairly,” calling Navarro a “great patriot” when asked if he would pardon him.

Navarro told the Wall Street Journal in May he would reject any pardon offer from Trump, because he wants to continue appealing his conviction, writing in a letter sent from prison, “I will not give the Supreme Court any excuse to duck what is otherwise a landmark constitutional case.”

Julian Assange: Trump said in May in an interview with podcaster Tim Pool he would “give very serious consideration” to pardoning the WikiLeaks founder—who struck a deal with the U.S. government in June to plead guilty to publishing military secrets, securing his freedom after 12 years in the U.K.—some of it spent in prison—while fighting extradition to the U.S.

What do you think?

Should President Trump pardon J6ers on DAY ONE?

Many folks on X seem to support this idea:

If Hunter can be pardoned and excused for any future crimes that have yet to be discovered, it’s time to pardon the J6 detainees.

J6ers should be pardoned the first day in office.
