Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen vowed that pro-Trump rioters who entered the U.S. Capitol would “face the full consequences of their actions under the law,” and those consequences could include being charged under President Trump’s executive order authorizing up to 10 years in prison for “injury of federal property,” Fox News reports.

1. Ha I said this yesterday

But exec orders don’t really do anything. Law was already on the books.

Still, it amused me, and still does.

2. I don't want them

Convicted too soon. Chump will pardon them given the opportunity.

9. Been wondering about that.

Can he preemptively pardon them before they're charged/convicted? How specific does he have to be in what he pardons people for?

Regardless, I had been thinking about it because such considerations would lend an urgency to the "25-45 vs Impeachment 2: the Sequel" question. If Needy Amin can be booted out of office prior to Jan 20, there would be less time to learn the names and charges of the Pro-Fa terrorists he might want to pardon.

11. Good question

Just my two cents. I don't think a blanket pardon, e.g. "for all involved in riot of January 6," would be allowed. But if the president specified by name the people to be pardoned for actions during the riot, that would be allowed.

3. Nope! Trump will pardon the lot of them.

Of course!

6. Why do people think Trump would stick his neck out for these losers?

7. No big thing to him

He would really like to stick it up to everyone. It does not cost him anything. He will get great pleasure watching our reaction.

10. Start rounding them up.

Detain them until trial.

12. Yes!

Hoisted themselves by their leader’s own petard...

13. It will depend on how many crimes they are charged with.

14. The federal government has a *felony murder* statute...

When one of the assholes killed a LEO inside of the building, that likely put the charge in play for several of them. (The death of the woman breaking/crawling through a window may qualify as well.) Life in prison, or in some cases, a possible capital charge.

If they identified the murderer (and I bet they will), he definitely faces capital murder charges.

15. Loss of rights and Privileges

After serving their time,or in lieu of:
Loss of voting rights
Loss of social security benefits
Loss of driving licence
Loss of second amendent right
Loss of flying privilege (place on no fly list)

These are a few of suggested punishments that should be handed down to those who participate in treasonist actions.
These represent my sole opinion.
