On Monday outside the D.C. jail, supporters of the Jan. 6 defendants celebrated President Trump's clemency announcement for nearly 1,600 rioters. The vigil, which has persisted for over two years, was a lively gathering reminiscent of political rallies. Micki Witthoeft, mother of the deceased rioter Ashli Babbitt, usually leads roll calls of the detained but declared that wouldn’t be necessary this time, believing all would soon be free. Despite clemency for many, only two recently sentenced individuals were released on the day of celebration, underscoring the complex aftermath of the Capitol attack.
