bookmark_borderTrump to pardon unjustly convicted Capitol protesters

According to Yahoo News, president-elect Trump is planning to pardon people who were unjustly charged and convicted for the crime of participating in a protest whose message the establishment disagrees with. This is fantastic news, as it is appalling that these people were charged with crimes in the first place (or criticized in any way, for that matter). And even better, Trump plans to jail members of the committee that decided to treat a protest that they disagree with, as somehow meriting investigation.

Yahoo’s headline is a bit confusing, as there is no such thing as “Capitol rioters.”

The headline, of course, ought to read “Trump vows to pardon Capitol protesters and jail Jan. 6 committee members.”

Notwithstanding Yahoo’s defamatory and inaccurate headline, this is good news indeed.
