McConnell breaks with Trump on Jan. 6 pardons
By Alexander Bolton - 02/01/22 03:03 PM EST

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that he does not support shortening the sentences of any of the people who have pled guilty to crimes related to the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.

"I would not be in favor of shortening any of the sentences for any of the people who pleaded guilty to crimes,” McConnell told reporters when asked about former President Trump’s statement over the weekend that he would consider pardons for people who tried to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. 

“The election of 2020 was decided Dec. 14 of 2020 when the Electoral College certified the winner of the election. What we saw here on January the 6th was an effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another, which has never happened before in our country.”


McConnell noted that 165 people linked to the violent storming of the Capitol more than one year ago “have pleaded guilty to crimes.”

Well, the American people feel differently. We want to see all the video surveillance before anyone gets sentenced. Also, we are extremely interested in reducing the terms you and your cohorts are currently serving. You've all been there too long!

I sure would like to see any videos that show the 'guilty' defendants listening to Ray Epps or the other F.B.I. Bedbug before considering sentences.
