In an earlier post I made the point that more than 90% of the January 6th insurrectionists who are serving prison sentences were sent away for assaulting police officers, but that Trump is referring to them as “hostages,” and promising to pardon them if he is elected.

So, in essence, the concept is:  everyone who breaks the law deserves to be punished except for a) those who attack law enforcement personally at the direction of a former president, and b) the former president himself, who has complete immunity from criminal prosecution, regardless of the nature and severity of the crime he committed.

Does the word “hypocrisy” come to mind?

The cartoon here by Dan Piraro speaks nicely to that as well.
