  1. You would think someone who was lucky enough to be pardoned would be on their best behavior. If anyone remembers the Bush v. Dukakis campaign, you might remember Willie Horton. If the shoe was on the other foot, the Republicans would have done a “Willie Horton” with this story 24 hours a day.

  2. I think the next administration should pursue the legal argument Trump tried to use against Biden to throw out the pardons and give the maximum sentence to everyone involved including himself.

  3. From the article: “The report details offenses including child sexual assault, rape, kidnapping and domestic violence.”

    [One Year Later: Assessing the Public Safety Implications of President Trump’s Mass Pardons of 1,600 January 6 Rioters and Insurrectionists.](https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/democrats-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2026-01.hjc-dem-one-year-later-j6-pardon-report3.pdf)

    >At least 33 pardoned January 6th insurrectionists have now been convicted of, charged
    with, or arrested for additional crimes since the violent attack on the Capitol. The crimes
    committed by rioters before and after the insurrection include: child sexual assault, production of
    child pornography, possession of child pornography, rape, conspiracy to commit murder of Federal
    Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, kidnapping, sexual assault, aggravated robbery, reckless
    homicide, driving under the influence causing death, illegal possession of firearms, domestic
    violence by strangulation, burglary, vandalism, grand theft, stalking, violation of protective orders,
    threatening public officials, and drug trafficking.

    Maybe we should shut down the White House until we get all of this fraud properly investigated.

    “allege”??? There were actual f*cking criminals who took part in the riot, like people who had convictions before Jan 6. There’s nothing “alleged” about this, and I hate how people use words like “claimed”, “accused”, and “alleged” in order to cast doubt on proven facts.

  6. I wonder if any of the people who supported those pardons are regretting their decisions now. Doubt it, though.

    They should not have been pardoned, but this number does not seem particularly high. I think 2.5-3% of the population is arrested in the US in a typical year. So total arrests is about in line with the population average.

    Does journalism exist? Couldn’t the headline easily be “33 pardoned Jan 6 rioters have been charged with new crimes”. Wouldn’t a journalist simply look into this?

    The soft-on-crime conservatives need to stop releasing violent criminals before they serve their time.

  10. Huh. That’s a higher crime rate than illegal immigrants. We’d better deploy the national guard!

    And that doesn’t count the ones the work for ICE.

    Ok, fine. I don’t know that any of them work for ICE, but it is believable.
