"No national injustice' occurred here, just as no outcome-determinative election fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election," U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell wrote in an eight-page order in the case of two Jan. 6 defendants who pleaded guilty to felonies.

"No process of national reconciliation' can begin when poor losers, whose preferred candidate loses an election, are glorified for disrupting a constitutionally mandated proceeding in Congress and doing so with impunity."

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan " who was slated to preside over Trump's own criminal prosecution for seeking to subvert the 2020 election before his 2024 victory ended the case " said Trump's mass pardons "cannot whitewash the blood, feces, and terror that the mob left in its wake."

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said Trump's action could never change the "immutable" record of violence and heroism of law enforcement, which will remain enshrined in court records.

"Dismissal of charges, pardons after convictions, and commutations of sentences will not change the truth of what happened on January 6, 2021," Kollar-Kotelly wrote in a six-page order dismissing charges against Dominic Box, whom she had previously convicted of two felony counts for his role in the riot."
