On January 19, President Joe Biden granted pardons to members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 Capitol attack, including prominent figures like Adam Schiff and Pete Aguilar. The pardons aimed to protect these individuals from possible legal repercussions from a potential Trump administration, emphasizing their commitment to upholding democracy. The bipartisan committee had faced harassment, threats, and criminal prosecution due to their work. Schiff termed the pardons ‘unwise,’ despite acknowledging the importance of their investigative efforts to protect democracy.
We express our gratitude to President Biden for recognizing that we and our families have been continuously targeted not only with harassment, lies, and threats of criminal violence.
American democracy was tested when a mob of insurrectionists attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a fair and free election by force and violence.
