In a controversial move, President Trump granted pardons to approximately 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot on his first day in office on January 20, 2025. This decision has been portrayed as courageous, challenging the widespread opposition from Washington political figures. Supporters assert that the pardons rectify injustices against defendants and criticize the extensive legal actions taken against them. Comparatively, the article argues the January 6 riots should not be singled out in severity compared to other civil disturbances, highlighting the high costs and resources spent on prosecutions.
President Trump issued pardons for about 1,500 participants in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot during his first day in office on Jan. 20, 2025.
So many people still don't understand that it was the right thing to do is a product of a sophisticated and Machiavellian four-year propaganda campaign.
The pardons right the wrongs against individual defendants, they also are a repudiation of the J6 prosecutions and the entire weaponized legal apparatus under Joe Biden.
With thousands of FBI and DOJ personnel mobilized to hunt down every Trump supporter who set foot on Capitol grounds, the cost of the J6 prosecutions has been immense.
