Former President Donald Trump said Friday that he will seriously evaluate pardons for some defendants who were charged by the federal government in connection to the Jan. 6 Capitol incident.
“And if I become president someday—if I decide to do it—I will be looking at them very very seriously for pardons,” Trump told an audience, as applause and cheers erupted. “They’ve been treated very unfairly.”
The balls of this guy after fucking them over on his way out...
At least he's starting to talk about it more. It's a gutsy move going against the Jan 6th narrative after it's been so entrenched.
That said, that it took him this long, and his other fuckups, means he can't be trusted, sadly. I'd love it if Trump was just unequivocally based, but he's not. He's something along the lines of a better, slightly less swampy, and more patriotic swamp critter. He's also, and we all knew this for years, an egomaniac who isn't loyal to people who can't be useful to him.
Still, I'm glad he's giving a very public voice to calling out the Jan 6th agenda. That's...something.
