Trump’s sweeping #pardons of #Jan6 insurgents have led to worries about actions being taken against #attorneys involved in the massive prosecution of the >1,500 #Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify President Joe #Biden’s election victory. Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of all of them on his first day back…, releasing from prison people convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy & #violent #assault on police.

The GOP could've chosen not to christen him as their 2024 nominee. They're resp for suffering, deaths, destroyed lives, livelihoods...
