Trump issues broad pardons for Jan. 6 defendants

WASHINGTON — President Trump issued pardons Monday night for participants in the 2021 Capitol riot — staying true to his promise to grant clemency to people involved in halting the counting of Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, 2021.

Trump signed about 1,500 pardons after returning to the White House from a day of inaugural festivities, telling reporters present that “I hope they come out tonight” — after announcing the plan moments earlier.

“We’re going to go to the Oval Office, we’re going to release our great hostages that didn’t do — for the most part, they didn’t do stuff wrong,” Trump, 78, said at an event that served as a stand-in for the traditional inaugural parade, which was canceled due to dangerously cold weather.

The 47th president, whom the House of Representatives impeached seven days after the riot for allegedly inciting the mob, said participants were treated unfairly compared to people who committed crimes during anti-police brutality riots in 2020.

D.C. Gulag Holds J6 Prisoners Hostage Despite Trump’s Pardons​

One of Donald Trump’s first acts as president was to commute the sentences of or pardon nearly every single Jan. 6 prisoner, setting them all free. But multiple prisons and halfway houses have resisted complying, with the D.C. gulag holding multiple prisoners hostage and refusing to release them.

Trump’s historic order commuted the sentences of about a dozen individuals and pardoned “all individuals convicted of offenses related to event that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” It ordered that those “currently held in prison are released immediately.” But the thugs who have so abused and trampled the rights of the J6ers under the Biden-Harris administration for four years are defying the law one last time. J6ers and friends reported prisons and halfway houses across America slow-rolling prisoners’ releases, and the infamous Washington, D.C., jail nicknamed the Gulag flat out refused to release multiple J6 hostages.

“The GULAG doesn't want to cough up its hostages!!! After 1465 days, every second is like an eternity!! I'm ready to go home!!! God will deliver!!!” Lang wrote me in his message.

Praying for justice to prevail. I don't know under what authority certain officials are refusing to release pardoned prisoners. But I hope the full wrath of the law comes down on them ... hard.
