What to expect from a convicted felon?
Trump signed a proclamation issuing a “complete and unconditional pardon” to everyone “convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021,” aside from nine members of the Oath Keepers and five members of the Proud Boys, whose sentences he commuted. That means that all those prosecuted by the Justice Department, from the plotters imprisoned for seditious conspiracy and felons convicted of assaulting police officers to those who merely trespassed on the restricted grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, will soon be released from incarceration, if they were still in federal custody.
And Trump ordered his attorney general to make sure that those who are “currently held in prison are released immediately.”
We hope they come out tonight, frankly,” Trump said as he signed the order.
Overall, more than 1,580 defendants have been charged and more than 1,270 convicted in the Capitol riot investigation, on charges ranging from misdemeanor parading to seditious conspiracy. More than 700 of 1,100 people sentenced so far have received no prison time or have completed their sentence, and they would receive limited immediate impact from a Trump pardon. But about 400 others remain incarcerated, serving sentences after admitting they committed the crimes they were charged with or being found guilty by a jury or judge….

Nevertheless, two-thirds of Americans opposed pardons for people convicted of crimes in the riot, according to a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll conducted in early December, although strong majorities of Republicans (60 percent) and Trump voters (69 percent) approved of them.
A pardon is not an expungement of a conviction. The charges remain on the books, but the person’s sentence is commuted, and restrictions on voting, gun ownership and other privileges are eliminated. Getting pardoned can help a person restore a security clearance or remove a basis for deportation or for a bank to refuse financing….

U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger, whose officers protected Trump as he was sworn in, told The Washington Post last week that pardoning people who assault police would send a message that the safety of officers does not matter and could risk politicizing the law enforcement of violent protests…..
The CHAOS HAS Begun…..
Standards?
What fucking standards?
The crooks come in from the cold….
