re: What is DeSantis' stance on the J6 prisoners, and has he offered any help?

The question was answered.

No it wasnt. You just made excuses and blamed others

Its typical prog cult behavior

No one will answer the original question I asked. I was a simple question that didn’t involve Trump at all.

DeSantis has already said that he would have the cases looked into, and issue pardons where justified. Someone actually posted this early in the thread.

We’re all laughing because Trump has totally abandoned people who are being punished for their actions in support of him, and yet you’re demanding to know what RDS’ stance is.

Asking this question of RDS, while Trump is allowed to skate on it is funny. It would be hysterical if it weren’t for the poor people in jail

You then ignore Trump’s ability to pardon them. He didn’t need a crystal ball to know people would be charged for that. It was obvious. If he didn’t know, then he is too incompetent to take seriously. I don’t believe that about him. I believe he made a political calculation to not do it as it would hurt him. That’s fine. That’s his right. Just don’t act like he didn’t know.

Let’s make the assumption you are correct ...do you believe ALL J6ers should be pardoned or do you think the situation calls for a little more granularity than Carter pardoning all draft dodgers?

this a prelude to a Desantis presidency. Just placing blame on others and never taking responsibilty

Along with promises made promises broken

Sure, you spin it how ever you’d like. It’s a Trump screw up, and nothing’s ever going to change that, but knock yourself out.

You would think the most powerful conservative Gov would do something or anytbing at all

Yet nothing. But missles to Isreal for sure

Excuses from the cult will be endless

Again, save who from what? Trump had no idea if any of the J6ers at the time committed a federal crime to issue a pardon nor their names.

---

I, Donald Trump, do hereby pardon anyone who entered the Capitol building, or surrounding grounds, on January 6th and did not commit acts of physical violence against Capitol Police, Us Representatives, or US citizens.

There you go. Then those who actually committed violence (very, very few) could be prosecuted while grandmas and others who merely entered couldn’t be. And if they were charged then it would have to be proved those charged committed physical violence.

ETA: to be more precise he could cite the actual US code and C.F.R to say anyone in the capitol or surrounding grounds who violated those specific laws were pardoned. Would it be challenged? Probably but the only check on the pardon power is in relation to impeachment. It’s the most powerful enumerated power in the Constitution.

So then I guess the creative minds on the investigation and prosecution side might just fudge a couple things here and there to make a case for a violent crime, amirite? Perhaps add some “small” aspect of “violence” that kicks it to a level not covered by this theoretical blanket pardon. I think some people are so intent on slamming Trump that they become blind to obvious kinks in their narrative.

Do they not have to prove that in a court of law?
