The message he’s sending though is “Fight violently for my cause and I’ll make sure you get off scot-free.” He’s trying to build a mercenary army, and not for the first time.

Given how many of the insurrectionists are going to jail, I wonder if it will work as well this time around.

I would think that if true, that could be used as evidence of a larger conspiracy and/or obstruction of justice.

So he is promising to pardon the J6ers. He is a pathetic human being. He is asking to be indicted.

He needs some more goons to fight and end up in prison for him. He promised others as well.

Didn't at least by some of the insurrectionists presume he would grant them pardons (like his other criminal pals) if they succeeded in keeping him in the WH?

Come on poopy pants, name names. You’re always bragging about the people who love you so tell us exactly who you are supporting. I’m sure they will sing your praises for paying all their bills.
