  1. The sentencing of the man, Jonathan Braun, who had a long history of #violence & in 2011 pleaded #guilty to #DrugTrafficking & #MoneyLaundering, demonstrates how #Trump’s handling of #pardons & #commutations has allowed some convicts to return to criminality.

  2. Too late. #Trump said he was gonna do it & you endorsed him anyway.

    #Trump's near-total #pardon of #Jan6 *rioters* was denounced by the #FraternalOrderOfPolice, the largest police union in the US, & the International Association of Chiefs of Police on Tues.
    The groups said they're deeply discouraged by #pardons & #commutations made by both Biden & Trump of individuals convicted of killing or assaulting #law enforcement officers [false equivalency: Biden 1; Trump >1,550]

  3. Most of the [#ProudBoys & the #OathKeepers] defendants were convicted on #sedition charges & were serving #prison terms of up to 18 years. Under the #commutations, their sentences will be reduced to time served.

    The most prominent defendant convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy charges…was #EnriqueTarrio, the fmr leader of the ProudBoys, …[he received a full pardon, not simply a commutation, from #Trump].
