Trump Commutes Sentences of Proud Boys, Oath Keepers Heads

President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned more than 1,000 people charged in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, and commuted the sentences of leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

"These are the hostages," Trump said from the Oval Office, referring to the convicted and charged defendants. "Approximately 1,500 for a pardon " full pardon."

The commutations cover the sentences for 14 far-right extremists from the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who were convicted or charged with seditious conspiracy.

"Also included among the 14 individuals whose sentences were commuted by Trump on Monday is Kelly Meggs, an Oath Keeper member and the leader of the Florida contingent of the group who was sentenced to a decade in prison for the seditious conspiracy conviction.

Clemency was also granted to Thomas Caldwell, who was not a member of the Oath Keepers, but led the effort to organize the quick reaction force so that the far-right group could quickly transport firearms into DC on January 6 should they decide it was necessary.

Oath Keepers member Jessica Watkins, who had been serving a nearly nine-year prison sentence for conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding and other felony charges, also had her sentence commuted by Trump."

Trump pardoned his seditious co-conspirators, convicted by Juries all over the country, who attacked the Police.

So much for the Law and Order Party. If you are a Trump Loyalist, you can conspire to sedition and attack Police in America and get away with it now.

Thanks yet again, Trumpism!

So the Brownshirts will be ready for the call-up.

"Only the best people" is Trumpish for "scum of the earth."
