14. And another one bites the dust

Trump pardoned over 1,000 of these criminals. For some time I tried to follow them after their pardons but I quit doing that a couple of months ago. Up the then, I had found about ten who were back in jail on local offenses.

One guy returned home and was grabbed by the local cops the next day on a couple of outstanding warrants. Others were arrested on various local charges within a month of so of being released.

I read somewhere that well over one-half of those in jail for their role in Jan 6 had prior records.

I'm hoping that more and more of them go back to the slammer on local or state charges where Trump cannot help them and where no one gives a shit about them.
