President-elect Donald Trump has insinuated that he will pardon jailed participants of the Jan. 6, 2021 false flag riot in the U.S. Capitol when he assumes his second term next month. Trump's remark came after outgoing President Joe Biden issued a "full and unconditional pardon" for his son Hunter Biden, who was set to be sentenced for federal gun and tax charges this month. The elder Biden issued the pardon on Sunday, Dec. 1. Trump took to Truth Social after news of the pardon broke, writing: "Does the pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J6 hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice." Mike Davis of the Article III Project joined "The Benny Show" on Monday, Dec. 2, to share his thoughts on the matter. The lawyer for Trump did not mince words when he spoke to program host and conservative commentator Benny Johnson. "After Hunter's pardon, I say pardon them all," Davis remarked. "I don't want to hear a damn thing from Joe Biden or Democrats about the rule of law. They can go to hell." The Conservative Brief remarked that Trump was "correct in his statement" on Truth Social. "Several people arrested on various charges nearly four years ago are being held without bond and still do not have court dates, which appears to be an obvious violation of the Sixth Amendment's right to a speedy trial, among other guarantees," it continued. "Trump, who regained the White House last month, announced plans to pardon more than 1,500 individuals involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot – covering both those awaiting trial and those already convicted – during his campaign."

CNN historian: Joe's pardon of Hunter justifies Trump pardoning J6ers

The elder Biden asserted on Sunday that his son was "selectively and unfairly prosecuted" in a statement issued following the pardon. Under the pardon, the 54-year-old Hunter would be exonerated of all offenses committed between Jan. 1, 2014 and Dec. 1, 2024. The 82-year-old Joe initially pledged that he would not pardon his son, but his recent change of stance drew much criticism from both Republicans and Democrats alike. Tim Naftali, a historian for the fake news network CNN, reiterated that Joe's decision to pardon his son could justify Trump pardoning the Jan. 6 political prisoners. "Trump didn't need an excuse to engage in broad pardoning. But this decision by Biden gives him additional justification, particularly for those convicted as a result of Jan. 6," he said. While the historian noted that the outgoing Democrat isn't the first person to pardon a family member, the case with Hunter is unique. "What makes this different is that first of all, he said he wouldn't do it," Naftali continued, referencing the elder Biden's remarks that no one is above the law. "At a time when we're so divided as a nation, I believe that the scope of this pardon was not helpful." Even Colorado Gov. Jared Polis could not help but denounce the pardon. He warned that such a move was a "bad precedent" that future presidents could adopt. "While as a father, I certainly understand [outgoing] President [Joe Biden's] natural desire to help his son by pardoning him, I am disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country," Polis wrote on X. "This is a bad precedent that could be abused by later presidents, and will sadly tarnish his reputation." U.S. Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, pointed out that the elder Biden "has lied from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities. Not only has he falsely claimed that he never met with his son's foreign business associates and that his son did nothing wrong, but he also lied when he said he would not pardon Hunter." "I'm shocked [outgoing President Joe] Biden pardoned his son Hunter [because] he said many, many times he wouldn't – and I believed him," U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) meanwhile wrote. "Shame on me." Head over to Trump.news for more stories like this.
