Most of the [#ProudBoys & the #OathKeepers] defendants were convicted on #sedition charges & were serving #prison terms of up to 18 years. Under the #commutations, their sentences will be reduced to time served.
The most prominent defendant convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy charges…was #EnriqueTarrio, the fmr leader of the ProudBoys, …[he received a full pardon, not simply a commutation, from #Trump].
@Nonilex Truly despicable.
I hope no one really believes Trump sat down and looked at each one of these.
Some staffer handed him a list.
Let's be clear, since the media won't be.
The #Jan6Pardons are a direct insult to the rule of law and the jury system. This is not just red meat for his base, this is him rebuilding his paramilitary mob.
These pardons are very, very bad.

C@TCatInReality@mastodon.social I agree
@TCatInReality @Nonilex I guess this means we can harm and kill law enforcers and destroy public / government property if it is done in Trump’s name.
I gifted a great article by Mary McCord in The Atlantic a few days ago that said the same thing, “A Sweeping January 6 Pardon Is an Attack on the Judiciary”
A deliberate attack to ensure everyone sees he is above the law. In fact, his word is law.
@Nonilex Unbelievable. And so painful for the victims.
