'These pardons justify violence': Former Jan. 6 investigator condemns Trump

Raw Story  

Tim Heaphy, former lead investigator for the January 6 Committee, condemned President Donald Trump's pardons of the Capitol rioters because they "justify violence." During a Tuesday interview with CNN's Jim Acosta, Heaphy reacted to the pardon of every single Jan. 6 rioter, including ones who were violent. "If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned," Vance told Fox News. "These pardons justify violence in the name of this cause, in the name of these lies, this false narrative that the election was stolen."
