Tonight, the President announced pardons and commutations of sentences for those who violently attacked the Capitol and law enforcement officers on January 6th.
The President's actions are an outrageous insult to our justice system and the heroes who suffered physical scars and emotional trauma as they protected the Capitol, the Congress and the Constitution.
It is shameful that the President has decided to make one of his top priorities the abandonment and betrayal of police officers who put their lives on the line to stop an attempt to subvert the peaceful transfer of power.
Despite the President’s decision, we must always remember the extraordinary courage and valor of the law enforcement heroes who stood in the breach and ensured that democracy survived on that dark day.

BREAKING: The Iranian men’s national soccer team defies the Iranian regime, wears black jackets to cover up the country’s emblem in order to protest the regime’s violent crackdown on women and stand in solidarity with Iranian women protesting for their rights. RT TO THANK THEM!
You would think a former President of the United States would have attorneys lining up around the block to represent him.
The real ones. Not the ones that play lawyer on TV.
But here we are.
