GQP Senators and Congress members and other cultists are falling over themselves in lame efforts to defend this, most of them parroting the same "well, Joe Biden pardoned his whole family" whine. Never mind that Biden would not have issued the pardons (except to his son) had trump and his cult not been lying and whining for years about "the Biden crime family" and "the Unselect Jan 6th Committee." And of course, Faux News is praising it as well. sick scum
Yep
Jan. 6 Defendant Who Received Clemency From Trump Arrested On Gun Charge From 2023
Daniel Ball had been charged with “some of the most violent and serious offenses" from the Capitol insurrection, said Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather.
... Daniel Ball, 39, was indicted in May 2023 on about a dozen charges related to the insurrection, including one charge accusing him of using an explosive device during the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Ball, who is from Florida, was being held in pretrial detention in Washington, D.C., and had been facing 12 years behind bars. He had a prior criminal record and was still in custody during his Wednesday arrest for one count of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, according to multiple reports.
According to the arrest warrant filed Wednesday, Ball had previously been convicted for charges related to domestic violence and violently resisting law enforcement.
Typical MAGAt.
The pending gun charge came out of Florida in May 2023, but since Ball was arrested on Jan. 6 charges in the country’s capital, he was unable to appear in Florida court.
Hah, lock him up!
Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather, the judge in Ball’s Jan. 6 case, said the former defendant had been charged with “some of the most violent and serious offenses of any of the charges being brought against participants in the January 6 events.”
“The explosion allegedly disoriented officers and caused hearing loss—which for some of the officers lasted months,” Meriweather added. “Defendant also allegedly threw a large piece of wood into the line of officers protecting the Capitol.”...
Typical MAGAt.
Trump's Mass Pardon For Jan. 6 Rioters Went Farther Than Republicans Had Wanted
GOP lawmakers had said repeatedly that violent offenders shouldn’t be pardoned and clemency should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
DonOLD is a police and America-hating terrorism abettor and GQP lawmakers may whine just a little bit in order to cover their own asses, but they will never hold him accountable, never.
For example, HUGE flip-flop:
JD Vance Defends Trump's Pardons Of Jan. 6 Rioters
He said he and Trump went through 1,600 cases and decided they were "unconstitutional."

As if DonOLD has a clue about the Constitution.
Anyhow, good boy, Just Deranged. Put the tatters of your integrity in storage for 4 years. Your future is boot-licking and ass-kissing, period.
The alternative is dealing with the police and America-hating terrorism abetting Trumpettes:
Lindsey Graham Draws MAGA Fury After Mildly Criticizing Donald Trump
The South Carolina Republican was slammed as a “snake” and “RINO.”
... Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) this weekend drew ire from Donald Trump’s MAGA base after he dared to criticize the president’s blanket pardoning of the Jan. 6 rioters — including those who had engaged in acts of violence.
NBC’s “Meet The Press” host Kristen Welker asked Graham if he thought Trump had been “wrong” with his widespread granting of clemency.
“No. 1, he had the legal authority to do it,” Graham pointed out. “But I fear that you will get more violence. Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer, violently, I think, was a mistake because it seems to suggest that’s an OK thing to do.” Graham made similar comments to CNN’s Dana Bash, saying the pardons “sent the wrong signal.”

It's become radical to say that assaulting cops is bad.
