(The Center Square) – One of the several dozen Illinoisans charged with crimes during the Jan. 6, 2021, protests at the U.S. Capitol feels vindicated after a sweeping pardon by President Donald Trump.
In signing the executive order for the pardons on Day 1 of his administration, Trump called the defendants “hostages” and said they are getting a “full pardon.”
“This is a big one,” Trump said. “We hope they come out tonight.”
In addition to the immediate release of those serving time for convictions stemming from the riot, Trump’s order also directs the U.S. Attorney General “to pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government of all pending indictments against individuals for their conduct related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
Larry Ligas said he wasn’t at the capitol with any group that day. He was there by himself to try and have conversations about policy issues with legislators and others. Later, he was charged and said he was further pursued for challenging the charges. more here
Definitly! It’s the only way for justice. They should sue liz cheney and adam schiff and everyone else associated with the “jan 6 committee”
Wait till these lawsuits – and hopefully, prosecutions:

Go after the ones who were “just taking orders.” Leftists have no qualms settling scores with the higher ups who they thought had their back. People like Cheney et all will be spending the rest of their lives looking over their shoulder.

this ***** should be safe if it stays away from real humans
I read one comment on X yesterday that they are thinking (or planning) on doing a massive lawsuit with all the hostages joining the suit.
I think it was a figure of 30 Billion dollars.
Only sad part is it is always the tax payers paying for it. Some amelioration in that all those “crucify them” types from all across the political spectrum will pay too.
Perhaps the perps can be stripped of protection of “operating under the law”, then can be bankrupted in civil court. Although prison is the preferred outcome.
