In a new interview, President-elect Trump revealed his plans to take immediate action on his first day in office, announcing that he intends to pardon those involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, including individuals who have pleaded guilty. “I’m going to be acting very quickly. First day,” Trump told Kristen Welker during his first major interview since securing a second term.
When asked about those who confessed to assaulting police officers, Trump argued that “they had no choice” and implied that many others who admitted to various charges were victims of a “very corrupt system.”
“I know the system. The system’s a very corrupt system,” Trump stated. “They say to a guy, ‘You’re going to go to jail for two years or for 30 years.’ And these guys are looking, their whole lives have been destroyed. For two years, they’ve been destroyed. But the system is a very nasty system.”
Over 1,500 individuals have faced charges related to the Capitol riot, where pro-Trump supporters attempted to disrupt the certification of President Biden’s 2020 election victory. More than 1,200 have either been convicted or pleaded guilty, and over 200 are currently incarcerated.
Trump, who faced charges in two separate federal cases that were dismissed after his election victory, has raised concerns among critics that he might use the Justice Department to target political opponents and detractors.
During his NBC interview, the president-elect asserted that members of the House panel responsible for investigating the January 6 riot “should go to jail,” although he clarified that he would not instruct his administration to arrest them.
He further explained that he would allow his attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi, to decide whether to pursue legal action against individuals like special counsel Jack Smith, who oversaw investigations into Trump in recent years.
“I’m really looking to make our country successful. I’m not looking to go back into the past,” Trump remarked. “I’m looking to make our country successful. Retribution will be through success.”

Yes. Jack Smith was a partisan hack who clearly weaponized the DOJ against the President and other white Republicans, and SHOULD be investigated and arrested!
Yes, the truth please!! Please do not call the horrendous massive manufacture of countless thousands of fabricated Biden ballots that occurred then “President Biden’s 2020 election victory”!! And please do not call the January 6 event the “attack on the Capitol” & the “Capitol riot”!!
IT ASOLUTELY WAS NOT A RIOT!!!!!!!!!!!
The tiny amount of the Capitol video surveillance recordings that were released to the public clearly showed the protestors calmly walking through the halls of the building, just like any respectful tourists, with police officers happily assisting them. [It is thus understandable why the wicked leftist Congressional leaders were rabidly infuriated that even this tiny amount of the recordings was allowed to be publicly seen. For it glaringly showed up all their accusations (that Trump & his supporters are “violent” and “dangerous”) as outright total lies.
The mass arrest and heavy-hand prosecution of the over 1,500 January 6th Prisoners is a huge disgrace to the US; yes, it is a big “Chillul America”!! From our youngest childhood, we were raised & reared that our country of the United States — in sharp contrast to many other dictatorial nations in the world — is a FREE country. The word is enshrined in the last line of each stanza of its very national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner”: ” . . . the land of the free . . . ” and is even more sharply expressed in another of its patriotic hymns, “My Country Tis of Thee”: ” . . . Sweet land of liberty . . . Let freedom ring . . . Land of the noble free . . . Sweet freedom’s song . . . With freedom’s holy light . . . ”
Now here, the January 6 protestors were rightfully doing what people in ANY free country should be fully free to do, especially here in the United States, where the First Amendment to our constitution sharply states:
“Congress shall make no law . . . . abridging . . . . the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Yes, the January 6 protestors were rightfully doing what their country’s very constitution clearly permits: “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” And they most certainly had here a fully legitimate grievance that they had the full right to petition their government to redress. Their candidate had clearly won the election; however, the opposition candidate was being granted the win because the opposition’s wicked agents had stuffed into the ballot count many, many tens of thousands of falsely fabricated ballots for their guy. So, again, the protestors had the full right — and really, the fullest MORAL OBLIGATION according to the Sacred Laws of our Torah HaKdosha of the Sheva Mitzvos B’nei Noach — to petition their government to redress this outright horrific theft!!
So — in this “sweet land of liberty” — what happened when this obviously legitimate “petition (to) the Government for a redress of (most glaringly justified) grievances” was held??????? A large number of political agitators — most of whom were from the extreme-leftist-Communist-oriented-gang called Antifa* — infiltrated the President Trump supporting protestors who had arrived at the Capitol and began wildly breaking in doors and smashing in windows, thus giving the impression of wild chaos so that the media & leftist spokespeople could call it a “riot” and an “insurrection” and an “attack on the Capitol” and an “attack on democracy worse than Pearl Harbor”!!
When the police came in, they massively arrest NOT any of the Antifa agents who had instigated the violence, but instead, scores upon scores upon scores of President Trump supporters who had just been quietly walking along, very many of whom had not even been inside the capitol building or even on the building grounds!!
The arrested people were detained in decrepit Washington, DC jail facilities, in inhuman conditions of horrific slime & filth. Very many of them are still languishing there, with being given no date yet for their trials and being denied the basic prisoner right of legal representation.
* NOTE: Through the previous summer, upon the tragic incident with George Floyd, Antifa, together with another extreme leftist group “Black Lives Matter,” spearheaded excessively violent massive riots which brought horrendous destruction and outright murder on countless cities throughout the country. The evil mainstream media & leftist spokespeople continually referred to those violent riots as “mostly peaceful.”
Kristen Welker is a slimy sleazy fake phony fraud.
