Fox News Wants to Know!"},"content":{"rendered":"

It has been nearly five years since Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection against the United States, exhorting his MAGA cult followers to storm the Capitol in order to undermine democracy and retain his authoritarian grip on power. On that day the lives of members of Congress were threatened, 140 police officers were hospitalized, and Trump watched it all on TV for three hours before doing anything to end it.<\/p>\n

On the first day of his reoccupation of the White House this year, Trump issued a blanket pardon for the rioters, many of whom had already pleaded guilty and been convicted of crimes as serious as seditious conspiracy. It was a brazenly treasonous act of betrayal to the country and the principles of law and order. Not that Trump cares about any of that unless he can use it to target his political foes.<\/p>\n

Last week Trump’s “Justice”<\/em> Department announced that they had arrested Brian J. Cole, Jr., as a suspect in the long lingering case of the D.C. pipe bomber, who planted bombs at the offices of the Democratic and Republican parties. While the motives are still not confirmed, it was revealed that he told investigators<\/a><\/strong> that he believed Trump’s “Big Lie”<\/em> that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from him. Which would make him another violence-prone, right-wing wacko.<\/p>\n

However, the plot thickens as legal analysts speculate that Cole might be able to claim that he can’t be charged because Trump’s January 6th pardons apply to him. They reason that the language of pardon<\/a><\/strong> was written so vaguely that it could include a broad array of people that were merely in the vicinity. It reads that Trump was granting…<\/p>\n

“…a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, [and] pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government of all pending indictments.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Legal analysts worried that at the time the pardon was issued the ambiguity in that language could cause problems. But Trump’s legal advisors were too incompetent to pay heed to the warnings. This potential loophole was discussed on Fox News Friday by panelists on the “The Five”<\/em> when Gillian Turner raised the question of whether Trump’s pardons could apply to Cole. Her co-panelist Emily Compagno replied…<\/p>\n

“If that’s true, then this Justice Department will find a way to charge him with something, because they will not let this guy get away with it. And that’s the difference between this administration and the prior administration. Yes, pardons are absolute, but unlike Biden, that says for everything that will be ever done, that was specific by president Trump.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Emily Compango on Fox News – It's okay to grant pardons for people who beat cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their role on Jan. 6th. But the DOJ will make sure the Trump supporter who planted pipe bombs is charged with a crime. But Biden's pardons were bad ????<\/p>\n
