'Two-thirds of the country is with us': Ethics watchdog fires warning shot at Trump

Raw Story  

President-elect Donald Trump’s long-held promise to pardon his supporters who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is drawing fresh scrutiny from a government ethics group. The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, issued a terse statement Monday calling out Trump and his repeated signals that he is willing to grant clemency to those who breached the Capitol as Congress worked to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 election win. Two-thirds of the country is with us on this.” The warning shot comes just weeks before Trump is set to return to the White House. A HuffPost analysis this week found that the potential presidential Jan. 6 pardons would put hundreds of violent criminals back onto the streets.
