Lawmakers brace for Trump’s promised Jan. 6 pardons. Some are urging restraint

LA Times  

Supporters of then President Trump climb the west wall of the the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. About 140 officers were injured on Jan. 6, making it “likely the largest single day mass assault of law enforcement” in American history, Matthew Graves, the outgoing U.S. attorney in the nation’s capital, has said. “You cannot be pro-police officer and rule of law if you are pardoning people who betrayed that trust, injured police officers and ransacked the Capitol,” said Capitol Police Sgt. “People who attacked police officers, listen, I don’t think that is something we should ever condone,” Johnson said. Rep. Jim Himes, who was trapped in the House gallery as rioters tried to break in below, said it would be “extraordinarily difficult” for him and many others if Trump goes ahead with the pardons.
