The List of Congress people that didn't seek a pardon has begun.




I’ll get this ball rolling on the House side. I didn’t ask for a pardon.







Ok I will start. I didn’t ask for a pardon.


If congress isn't going to release names. I hope every Democrat makes a statement to the press.

Love my Rep Connolly and have been a fan of Schatz as well.

but I can't remember where because since I retired I basically binge read. I will try to remember or find it and when or if I do I will return to post a link.

Here's the Newsweek link, but again, I don't really trust Newsweek.

They do cute CNN on the issue, though:

In January 2021, CNN reported that Reps. Andy Biggs and Mo Brooks—who were both subpoenaed by the committee with Perry—and Paul Gosar sought clemency from Trump in the wake of January 6, which the former president ultimately refused.
