President Trump: “You Will Be Very Happy with My Decision on the J6 Hostages”


Merry Inauguration Eve!

During his pre-inauguration Victory Rally on Sunday, President Trump hinted at upcoming pardons for J6 political prisoners.

He mentioned that everyone is going to be “very, very happy” with his decision on the J6 protestors held hostage by the Biden regime these past four years.

“Tomorrow, everybody in this very large arena will be very happy with my decision on the J6 hostages,” he spoke,

“I would say about 99.9% in this beautiful arena.”

From The Daily Beast:

Convicted January 6 rioters could be pardoned as soon as Donald Trump returns to office. At a rally on inauguration eve, the incoming 47th president hinted at good news on who he described as “hostages” from the 2021 attack on the Capitol. “Tomorrow, everybody in this very large arena will be very happy with my decision on the J6 hostages,” he said, eliciting loud cheers from the crowd. The Trump administration has already begun drafting pardons for those convicted in the attack, according to CNN.

CNN added:

Trump did not explicitly say what he will do with his supporters who were convicted for their role in the January 6, 2021, attack at the US Capitol.

But he implied — as he did many times on the campaign trail — that he will pardon many or most of those rioters. And, as he has in the past, Trump referred to them as “hostages.”

“Tomorrow everybody in this very large arena will be very happy with my decision on the J6 hostages,” Trump said.

The president-elect and his team have drafted a slate of pardons for people convicted to be issued on Day 1, shortly after Trump is sworn in as president, two sources familiar with the plans told CNN earlier Sunday. The extent of the initial pardons is still unclear; however, one of the sources described them as enough to be seen as “delivering on his long-held promise.”

One of the big questions has been whether he’d issue pardons for some of the roughly 174 defendants charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon against police officers.

Over the last four years, nearly 1,600 Capitol rioters have been charged and about 1,270 convicted — with some being sentenced as recently as last week. Prosecutors and judges, though, have anticipated the pardons Trump has repeatedly previewed.
