 John, here at CREW, we’ve been tracking the pardoned January 6th insurrectionists, and we have important updates for you. At least 33 January 6th insurrectionists pardoned by President Trump have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes, and four pardoned insurrectionists have allegedly reoffended since the attack on the Capitol. Pardoned January 6th insurrectionists have been charged with:
These crimes underscore the threat posed by Trump's decision to forego long-established DOJ process and grant blanket, day-one pardons and commutations to insurrectionists.
John, we cannot overstate the consequences of Trump’s decision to unconditionally pardon more than 1,500 insurrectionists on day one of his second term. When individuals are pardoned, there is no traditional monitoring or parole process, severely heightening public safety risks. Nevertheless, some pardoned insurrectionists, including those charged with unrelated crimes, have also been embraced by the GOP establishment. One was invited to the White House. Another serves on a Virginia school board. John, all of this sends a message that support for Trump is more important than following the law. These pardons are deeply dangerous for both our democracy and for public safety. That’s why CREW’s work has never been more critical, and we've never needed to push harder to hold power accountable.
