George Santos begs for a pardon, because of course he would

I don't even know what to say, but watching him grovel and not get a pardon would be pretty funny. I can hear the pardon master saying: "He groveled, like a dog"

Great Article on the revolving door from jail to pardon to jail

Steve Braun, my favorite pinch hitter, checks his family tree: Jonathan Braun is a real winner in the non-J6er pardon bag. I think I wrote about him before, but this chronicles his piece of shittery pretty well: The Pardon-to-Prison Pipeline.  The article covers some of the folks already covered in this blog as well:

"But the group of people convicted in connection with January 6 has been particularly likely to have found more trouble. Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to 22 years for seditious conspiracy and other crimes, was arrested for assault just a month after being pardoned—at the Capitol, no less. (D.C. prosecutors declined to pursue charges.) He also tried unsuccessfully to stir up conflict at a conference of Trump critics in February. Matthew Huttle, an Indiana man who received a pardon for entering the Capitol on January 6, was fatally shot by a deputy on January 27 after reaching for a gun. Emily Hernandez, a Missouri woman, was convicted for causing a fatal drunk-driving crash in 2022;  the sentencing came days after her pardon for January 6 offenses. Andrew Taake of Texas was pardoned in January, then arrested in February on an outstanding charge for allegedly sending explicit messages to an undercover cop he believed was an underage girl.

It’s not just that clemency recipients have been accused of crimes since their pardons; they’ve also tried to use the pardons to get off for other offenses. Edward Kelley argued that his pardon from Trump for January 6 also covered his plot to kill the FBI agents who investigated him; a judge disagreed. Daniel Ball said that charges of illegally possessing a gun should be thrown out because the weapon was discovered in a search related to now-pardoned January 6 charges, and the acting U.S. attorney agreed, but Dan Wilson, a pardoned Capitol rioter who made a similar argument, had less luck with a federal appeals court. (Other defendants have made similar claims, with varying results.) David Daniel, who was charged with producing and possessing child pornography, also argued that a search that turned up the material was invalid because of his January 6 pardon, but the U.S. attorney in the case disagreed. (Daniel has pleaded not guilty to the charges.)"

Trump says "he cant even go after" J6 Prosecutors

It would have been a great few episodes of the TV show our President considers he makes every day: one where he is the protagonist vanquishing his enemies.  Those pesky Pardons, auto pen or not:

J6ers featured guests at GOP Dinner in Missouri

 I always wondered what the correct pronunciation of Missouri is: "Missouree" like the East Coast says, "Missoura" like a midwesterner, or something else.  I'll go with something else.  Anyway, nothing like featured guests like J6ers to capitalize on their 15 minutes of fame.  Maybe they can go on Reality shows next.  Too bad the Love Boat isnt on anymore or Hollywood Squares.
