Trump's January 6 pardon pledge baffles some attorneys

Donald Trump's pledge to pardon January 6 rioters may help fire up his supporters, but several defendants facing federal charges say they no longer believe the former President's promises.

Even defendants who are holding out hope for clemency are clinging to a false hope. Most of their cases are likely to be resolved in court long before the 2024 presidential election. This week alone, following Trump's comments, seven people have cut guilty plea deals.
"What we have learned from the year that has gone by, is that my clients, apart from their families and their lawyers who are representing them, is that no help is coming," Joe McBride, a lawyer representing five riot defendants, including ones in jail, told CNN.

Trump baffles most Americans.

They'll believe Dumpy's lies when they are free, out and about. But when they are behind bars with their lawyers telling them Dumpy lied about everything including future pardons, they begin to see the light.

But wait wasnt it all Antifa and BLM posing as trump supporters? how is it we have them on camera being violent??

remember when right wing media was saying that?

first it was all blm. then it was "well they weren't even that violent". then it was "it was just a couple people". then the videos came out.

That aside these people are excuse my French, "little bitches". who are only rejecting Trump since he didnt win and has no way or pardoning them (at least within the next couple years)

That's the only reason for Henry Tarrio, Junior's existence: He's on scene, they can scream "Look! It's BLM! Not us!"

He'll turn it into a campaign issue should he run for 2024.
