What it counts for, is even if undercover FBI agents led a false-flag operation to make the ACTUAL Trump supporters follow them into violence, a handful of actual Trump protesters still committed violence, and Trump is not pardoning those who committed violence.
But I hope Pam Bondi and the DOJ under Trump go after the false-flag FBI and other federal agents who PRETENDED to be Trump supporters and incited violence or committed it themselves.
I would also point out that the thousands of BLM and Antifa rioters in the George Floyd riots in 600 cities nationwide, that did infinitely more damage, and more damage in many other BLM/Antifa violent protests and cities nationwide before and since, virtually NONE of these violent actors were held to the same overkill FBI prosecutions as Jan 6th Trump protesters were held to. As I've said repeatedly, the Democrat-Bolshevik / 97% Democrat-donating DOJ and FBI never even charged over 90% of BLM/Antifa people arrested, just let most of them go, so unlike 1,500 peaceful Trump supporters, these BLM/Antifa violent rioters never even had to hire a lawyer.
Whereas Jan 6 protesters (and peaceful abortion activists, and peaceful PTA protesters, and all the people surrounding Trump in FBI lawfare lawsuits) were arrested, charged the maximum, and had to spend $400,000 to $750,000, at least, to legally defend themselves against an FBI with unlimited resources to maliciously prosecute them. And in many cases, the 1,500 Jan 6th prisoners were held in jail indefinitely, under terrible conditions (deliberately terrible, deliberately inhuman) , without trial, and without access to a lawyer. And in several cases were beaten in their cells for EVEN ASKING to see a lawyer, or for telling family about the conditions inside the prison. In 5 cases driven to suicide.
They've been pardoned, but there is no compensation for this malicious prosecution, the loss of their jobs, the loss of their homes and businesses, the separation from their spouses and children, for being held without trial for years, and the inhuman treatment and beatings. There is no possible compensation for that.
Even in the cases of the handful of violent Jan 6th protesters, even if they were pardoned as well, they would still have ALREADY spent way more time in jail than someone would normally be sentenced for such a crime, and CERTAINLY way more than any violent BLM, Antifa, violent animal rights activists, violent leftist environmentalists, or violent abortion activists, or violent Brett Kavanaugh supreme court nomination activists were subjected to by FBI, all of who exceeded the Jan 6th protesters in violence and number, several of these protest mobs violently invading the Capitol, but were not similarly arrested and prosecuted by the FBI.
Further, out of 17,000 total FBI agents, after Trump was inaugurated and the records were opened, it was revealed that 5,000 FBI agents were assigned to the arrest and prosecution of January 6th Trump supporters ! Fully a third of the entire FBI devoted to these malicious prosecutions. Fanatical.
It's not like the agents of the FBI don't have other things to do, like round up the millions of criminal illegals, the terrorists, the drug cartels, the human traffickers, the murderers and rapists set loose across the country due to open borders. But the 97% Democrat-donating DOJ/FBI devoted the bulk of their resources to persecuting their Republican political opponents, and creating a "dangerous right wing/white supremacist" false narrative, just to benefit the Democrat party.
And those prosecutions and further new arrests of Jan 6th protesters by FBI continued right up to the day Trump was inaugurated. These FBI agents and prosecutors should themselves be investigated and prosecuted, subject to the same aggressive 6 AM raids with AR-15 red dots on their bodies as the innocent people they maliciously prosecuted. And be sent, pending their trials, to the same jails they sent innocent people into, for pure and malicious Democrat political theatre. Particularly the ones in FBI/DOJ who directed these January 6th arrests and prosecutions. They need to be removed from power and punished, never able to do it again.
At the very least lose their jobs and benefits in the FBI and DOJ. And even among the lower level agents who just did what they were told (like the guards at Auschwitz) and made no effort to report these malicious prosecutions to Republican Senate and House members, THEY SHOULD BE GONE, fired from DOJ and FBI. Fired at the very least. And if their text messages, emails and social media show the same Democrat-Bolshevik fanaticism as Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Kevin Clinesmith, even among the lower rank and file, they should be fully prosecuted FOR CRIMES they have committed.
Let the punishment fit the crime. Anything less just encourages these fanatics and the thousands of others like them still in federal agencies to just do it again, the moment Democrats once again are in power.
