Top Senate Republican: No pardons for convicted Jan. 6 rioters
by Susan Ferrechio, Chief Congressional Correspondent |
 | February 01, 2022 03:07 PM

The top Senate Republican said Tuesday that he does not back the idea of pardoning those who face punishment for the Jan. 6. riot at the Capitol last year.

“My view is I would not be in favor of shortening any of the sentences for any other people who pleaded guilty to crimes,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said.

The Kentucky Republican made the statement after a reporter asked if McConnell sides with former President Donald Trump, who said last week that if he is elected president again, then “we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly, and if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.”

I wasn't aware that Chinless has a say in the matter.  Huh.

Apparently, no equal protection or due process either.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Damnit! You can't be interfering with the ecology of The Swamp like that!

We know him for what he is.
We saw the lack of legislation backing Trump Policy, at the most opportune time to get such passed, forcing implementation by executive orders which would be easily overturned in the future, and keep the game going.

How DARE Americans speak out against that!?

Her forgets who he works for. He is an employee, not a ruler.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
