(AmericanProsperity.com) – President Donald Trump has taken a bombshell decision by pardoning over 1,500 citizens targeted for their involvement in the January 6 Capitol protest.
This sweeping act of clemency marks a turning point for the nation, as supporters argue it finally addresses the prosecution of these Americans.
Trump’s sweeping pardons include full clemency for leaders of groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and for people convicted of assaulting police officers.
“These are the hostages, approximately 1,500 for a pardon, full pardon. This is a big one,” declared President Trump, highlighting the magnitude of this historic decision.
He further emphasized, “These people have been destroyed. What they’ve done to these people is outrageous. There’s rarely been anything like it in the history of our country.”
The pardons not only include those already convicted but also extend to approximately 450 pending cases related to the January 6 events.
“We are deeply thankful for President Trump for his actions today,” said Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes’ attorney James Lee Bright.
The pardon caused outrage among the Democrat Party, with figures like Chuck Schumer doubling down on accusations.
“Donald Trump is ushering in a Golden Age for people that break the law and attempt to overthrow the government,” Schumer said.
Critics of the Justice Department have blasted the Biden administration for its relentless persecution of January 6 protesters.
They assert that the legal saga was designed to silence conservative voices and intimidate those who questioned the establishment.
Former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio’s lawyer expressed his support for the pardons.
“This marks a pivotal moment in our client’s life, and it symbolizes a turning point for our nation,” stated attorney Nayib Hassan, highlighting the far-reaching implications of these pardons.
President Trump’s pardons also send a clear message: it is now time to move forward and toward national reconciliation.
