A Legal Expert Predicts What Will Happen If Trump Pardons Jan. 6 Rioters

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING If you take Donald Trump at his word, one of his first acts when he’s back in the White House will be to grant pardons to rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A key question is whether Trump would issue pardons on a case-by-case basis or grant a blanket pardon to any and every Jan. 6 defendant regardless of the severity of their charges or conduct. Trump could say, “Well, I’m not giving you a complete pardon but commuting your sentence to time served.” That’s what Trump did with Roger Stone. In another era, when there was not the kind of division and siloing of people’s understanding of the world and different media streams, I think a president issuing lots and lots of pardons to people who assaulted the Capitol, hurt officers — the response would be quite negative.
