Trump says he would pardon Jan. 6 rioters if he runs and wins

This is witness tampering

Jan 29 (Reuters) - U.S. former President Donald Trump said on Saturday if he were to run for president and win in 2024, he would pardon people charged with criminal offenses in connection with the deadly Jan. 6 assault by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump, who has not said whether he will run for president again after his defeat by Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 election, was speaking at a rally in Conroe, Texas.

"Another thing we'll do, and so many people have been asking me about it, if I run and if I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly," Trump said to applause. "We will treat them fairly. And if it requires pardons we will give them pardons. Because they are being treated so unfairly."

Thousands of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the worst assault on Congress since the War of 1812. Fueled by Trump's false claims that his November 2020 election defeat was the result of fraud, the attackers sought to stop Congress from certifying Biden's victory.

Greg Abbott is being booed at the TFG rally

Greg is in a tough primary against two RWNJs who are far to right right of Greg. The only thing that Greg has going for him is TFG's endorsement

Officials are warning residents and visitors about major traffic delays and road closures stemming from former President Donald Trump’s Saturday event at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Conroe.

“This event will bring large crowds and cause major traffic delays throughout the city,” read a Thursday afternoon statement from the Conroe Police Department about Trump’s Save America rally. “Heavy traffic congestion is expected from very early hours in the morning until late in the night.”

Conroe PD mentioned there would be several road closures, but did not announce which roads would be affected.

Montgomery County is a very racist county that has two KKK chapters. TFG super spreader event may help turn Texas blue

In Trump’s unsuccessful bid for reelection, Montgomery County delivered better than any other Texas county, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle. Montgomery County, the Chronicle reported, was the only county in the state with at least 100,000 voters where Trump won more than 70 percent of ballots.
