President Trump Issues Sweeping Pardons to FREE J6 Political Prisoners

For many Capitol protestors unjustly persecuted underneath the Biden regime, the nightmare is finally over.

President Trump has just signed an executive order issuing sweeping pardons for approximately 1,500 J6 political prisoners.

He had previously hinted at the pardon during Sunday night’s Victory rally, telling the massive crowd that they would be “very, very happy” with his decision on J6 political hostages.

CBS News reported:

President Trump on Monday granted clemency to roughly 1,500 defendants who had been convicted of crimes on Jan. 6, 2021, following through on his longtime promise to absolve those who participated in the attack on the U.S. Capitol of wrongdoing.

The president’s action comes on his first day back in the White House and just hours after he was sworn in for a second term. Mr. Trump has repeatedly sought to downplay the events of Jan. 6, when a mob of his supporters breached the Capitol in an effort to stop Congress from reaffirming former President Biden’s victory over him in 2020. And the pardons further his efforts to recast the assault as a “day of love” and Jan. 6 defendants as “political prisoners” and “hostages.”

“These are the hostages, approximately 1,500 for a pardon, full pardon,” Mr. Trump said during remarks from the Oval Office. “This is a big one.”

The president said he hopes those who remain incarcerated will be released tonight. His clemency includes six commutations, he said.

More than 1,600 people have been charged as a result of their alleged conduct on Jan. 6, and at least 1,100 have had their cases adjudicated and received sentences, according to the Justice Department. More than 170 people have been accused of using a deadly or dangerous weapon, such as a fire extinguisher or bear spray, against police officers, prosecutors have said.

There are roughly 300 prosecutions that remain pending against defendants who have been charged, the Justice Department said earlier this month. Nearly 60% of those have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement or obstructing those officers during a civil disorder, which are felonies.

AP News added:

President Donald Trump on Monday said he was pardoning about 1,500 of his supporters who have been charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack, using his sweeping clemency powers on his first day back in office to dismantle the largest investigation and prosecution in Justice Department history.

The pardons were expected after Trump’s yearslong campaign to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 attack that left more than 100 police officers injured and threatened the peaceful transfer of power. Yet the scope of the clemency still comes as a massive blow to the Justice Department’s effort to hold participants accountable over what has been described as one of the darkest days in American history.

Trump also commuted the prison sentences of leaders of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors described as plots to keep Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election. Trump is also directing the attorney general to seek the dismissal of about 450 pending cases against Jan. 6 defendants.
