Raskin: Pardoned Jan. 6 rioters ‘a reserve army of political foot soldiers’

22 Jan 2025 ~~ By Ashleigh Fields

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) slammed President Trump’s decision to grant sweeping pardons to those convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, suggesting they are “political foot soldiers” for Trump.
“Are they being released as a reserve army of political foot soldiers to act on behalf of MAGA and Donald Trump?” Raskin told CNN’s Erin Burnett during an appearance on the network Tuesday night.
“I think that’s what’s so profoundly troubling to a majority of the American people who rejected the idea of freeing at least the violent criminals and the ones who were convicted of seditious conspiracy, which means conspiracy to overthrow the government,” he added.
Leaders of the far-right groups the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were among those pardoned by Trump on his first day in office Monday.
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was released from prison after receiving a full pardon from Trump. Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years after being convicted on seditious conspiracy and other charges connected to the 2021 riot.
Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison on similar charges, had his sentence commuted by Trump to time served.

“Pardons in that case are reserved for people who are reformed, people who are rehabilitated and no longer constitute a threat to public safety, so that’s what’s missing in this conversation,” Raskin told CNN.
Raskin, who served on the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 riot, has condemned Trump’s pardons while seeking to distinguish between his own pardon he received from former President Biden on Biden’s way out of office.

Commentary:
That’s going be the new talking point line. Heard it last night from some other ignorant Neo-Marxist Lefty.
What do you call BLM and AntiFa, Raskin?
This is how Neo-Marxist Democrats dream when they embrace criminals. They see themselves as Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, and the criminals as their Zanu, Peoples Front.
This is the same idiot who loves antifa, BLM, pro-Hamas / pro-Palestine agitators in our cities and college campuses yet calls himself a Jew..
What his diatribe against the Trump pardons proves is that they were all political prisoners
The N-M Left created an army of straw men with their lies about Jan 6.
They cleverly reframed everyone in the Capitol as a revolutionary, even though many—if not most—were innocent tourists who found themselves in a dangerous situation orchestrated by paid provocateurs and undercover FBI agents.

Raskin just got pardoned by Xiden for his crimes against the United States, this is mere distraction....Congress just opened up a probe into him and all the rest that got the unprecedented pardons

Raskin he ain't not too bright!
If the J6 prisoners held in brutal captivity for four years by his actions, without so much as a charge nor trial in all that time in violation of due process, most of which did nothing violent, really were an army of foot soldiers, is Raskin very bright for calling them out attacking them a mere day after their release? :dunno:

I mean, these people had not even a prior criminal record, now with their lives destroyed and no where to go. Ahem.
 
Raskin forgets that BLM and Antifa are the Democrats foot soldiers who do not even get charged when they burn down cities and kill cops. This is major hypocrisy. The man is a snake and will be as hated as Schiff is very soon.

Yet, from what is being said, The Dept of Corrections holding these people is slow walking or stopped the release of these unjustly convicted J-6 victims.

I don't see anyone stopped, just a few who cannot be released immediately because of administrative and processing needs. They should be released by today I should think. So far so good. If it goes into tomorrow, then I will start to get pissed.
