Trump Says Jan 6 Committee Members ‘Should Go To Jail’

President-elect Donald Trump stated that every member of the House January 6 Committee — which defied decades of House precedent when it was structured by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — should be prosecuted during an interview with Meet The Press on Sunday.

The president-elect told host Kristen Welker that he plans to make good on his promise to pardon January 6 protesters on his first day in office. “I want to look at everything. We’re going to look at individual cases, but I’m going to be acting very quickly,” Trump said, adding that the process will begin as soon as he is inaugurated on January 20.

“Yeah, I’m looking for these pardons. These people have been there. How long is it? Three or four years? You know, by the way, they’ve been in there for years, and they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.”

Since January 2021, the Biden-led Department of Justice has engaged in sweeping, one-sided prosecutions of January 6 protesters. Despite video evidence that the unrest was triggered when police fired tear gas and flash bangs into what had been a peaceful crowd, in addition to an admission from Pelosi that she refused to activate the national guard and the presence of undercover FBI agents and police officers who were agitating the crowd, the Biden DOJ has arrested and charged more than 1,400 January 6 participants.

The vast majority of those arrested have been charged with misdemeanor trespassing violations. While the Biden DOJ has not pursued participants from the violent Black Lives Matter riots, during which rioters attacked Secret Service agents in an attempt to storm the White House and set fire to a historic church, even though misdemeanor and felony violations from the time period could still be pursued. They have also not pursued charges against pro-Palestine protesters and other left-wing activists who have disrupted congress and occupied official government office buildings.

They should.  They withheld evidence that was crucial to the defense of those prosecuted.  There is a special place in hell for people that do this.

Withholding Brady Material should be a criminal offense if it isn't already. It is cause for dismissal of charges. IIRC Kamala did this, too, out west.
