Trump's Pardons Are Rewriting His 2020 Failed Coup And the Media Is Letting Him

"The pardons were disclosed late Sunday night by the Department of Justice's Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin, who posted a list of pardon recipients on social media. The document, dated November 7, offers a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to dozens of allies who have spent the last three years ensnared in sprawling federal investigations and indictments. This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 Presidential Election and continues the process of national reconciliation,"

"Let's be clear: these pardons aren't loyalty perks or the routine spoils of a presidency. They're a naked effort to rewrite history from just five+ years ago. Trump is recreating the narrative of his failed coup into something softer a messy political fight with no real villains from his side of the battle. The goal is clear as day and impoosibly simple: if no one is guilty, then nothing really happened."

"Start with the names. Sidney Powell. Rudy Giuliani. Mark Meadows. These weren't bystanders in an attempt to gaslight a nation in to believing there was widespread election fraud they were central players in the coordinated push to overturn Joe Biden's win. Special Counsel Jack Smith's 165-page filing details how they peddled fabricated claims, leaned hard on state officials to toss out results, and helped organize fake electors like it was an amateur off-Broadway production of Seven Days in May."

A late-night DOJ posting announced full, complete, and unconditional pardons dated November 7 for dozens of allies who faced federal investigations and indictments tied to the 2020 election. The official text framed the pardons as correcting a national injustice and promoting reconciliation while explicitly excluding the president himself. The pardons seek to recast efforts to overturn the 2020 result as a political fight rather than a coordinated criminal campaign. Named recipients include Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and Mark Meadows, whom Special Counsel Jack Smith described as central players who promoted fabricated claims and organized fake electors. Bill Barr called the fraud claims baseless.
