Trump has repeatedly said he would pardon the J** 6 "Hostages" on Day 1 if he's elected. Could this be because he knows the only reason they're there in the first place is because of him? Well, for all the Trump supporters here who claim to "Back The Blue", here's a sample of the people he wants to hand a Get Out Of Jail Free card:
Peter Schwartz of Pennsylvania, sentenced to just over 14 years in prison. Schwartz was found guilty on 10 charges, including four felony charges of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers while using a dangerous weapon. A jury convicted Schwartz on assault and civil disorder charges for throwing a chair at officers and spraying them with pepper spray. Schwartz also has a prior criminal history of 38 felony convictions dating back to 1991.
Thomas Webster, a retired New York City police officer who assaulted a D.C. officer on the front lines of the Capitol r**t, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Patrick McCaughey, sentenced to seven and half years in prison after images captured McCaughey pinning a D.C. police officer in a Capitol doorway as he howled in pain.
Kyle Young, who pleaded guilty to assaulting D.C. Police Officer Michael Fanone, sentenced in September to a little over seven years in prison. A judge sentenced Young after describing his “enthusiastic” participation in the mob violence against Fanone.Young pleaded guilty to assaulting, resisting or impeding a police officer. He is one of the several r****rs who assaulted Fanone, who was tased.
Albuquerque Cosper Head, who was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison, a r****r considered to have committed one of the day’s most brutal assaults against a police officer. He pleaded guilty to yanking Fanone away from police lines and shouting, “I got one!” before other r****rs d**gged the officer away, tased him and robbed him of his badge and radio.
Julian Kh**er, sentenced to over six years in prison after he pepper-sprayed three police officers in the face, including Brian Sicknick, who died of multiple strokes the next day. A U.S. District Court judge found that Kh**er found his way to the front of the mob and used pepper spray that injured at least three officers.
Robert Palmer, sentenced to more than five years for assaulting police and participating in some of the most violent episodes of J*** 6, throwing threw wooden boards and a fire extinguisher at police officers who were guarding the Lower West Tunnel of the Capitol.
Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right O**h K****rs, last week, sentenced to 18 years in prison for s*******s conspiracy — the longest sentence imposed on a J*** 6 defendant to date. Prosecutors say Rhodes planned a weekslong effort to derail the t******r of p***r from Donald Trump to Joe Biden, leading to dozens of his allies descending on Washington.
None of these were A****A. None of these were “FBI”. But every one of them was a Trump supporter.
But let's just let them go. Because they're simply “hostages”.
OPP righties, please defend this crap.

There should not be a “blanket” pardon! The above mentioned got what they deserved!
On the other hand Constitutional Rights were ignored for many. Due Process for non-violent demonstrations was lacking. This is NOT a one-size-fits-all situation!
