Federal Judges in Jan. 6 Cases Slam Trump's Pardons

Friday, January 24, 2025

A prominent federal judge on Wednesday ripped President Donald Trump's mass clemency for Jan. 6 rioters, saying the justification he offered in his proclamation " to correct an "injustice" and trigger a "national reconciliation" " was "flatly wrong" and a "revisionist myth."

A corrupt Democrat judge said that? Shocker. Trump campaigned that he would do it, the people agreed and he kept his promise. So buzz off.

Why is he corrupt? Because you don't like his opinion?

I think it's because that's a buzzword you don't understand.

Trumpland. Where NOT being corrupt means you're CORRUPT, and attempting to overthrow democracy means you're a PATRIOT.

Fishpoo calls a judge corrupt because he disagrees with him?

Shocking? No. Not really.

Memo to you Oath Keepers, Proud Bois and other cosplayers out there: Federal judges are usually protected by US Marshals, who know how to shoot straight and take their role in this world very seriously. They don't play, so those cheap threats flowing out of your pie hole or greasy fingers had better not be acted upon...

What people? Certainly not the overall majority and I bet even the majority that voted for Trump.

Every poll shows overwhelmingly the pardons were a mistake.

If you buy into the rigged election only, do you buy into this.

Trump should remove the metal detectors from this judges court house and assign only DEI hire bailiffs.
