Should Those Who Investigated Jan 6 Face Criminal Charges?
The president of the United States claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 election was “rigged” in favor of his opponent, and convinced ~70 million voters that this was true.
On January 6, 2021, he encouraged a large group of angry supporters, many of them armed, to “go to the Capitol and fight like hell.”
The ensuing riots did massive amounts of property damage and injured 174 police officers.
For more than three hours, the president watched the mayhem as it was broadcast on live television.
1575 people were criminally charged in the attack, 1270 of whom were convicted in various federal courts.
When Trump was re-elected in 2024, he pardoned all but 14.
At the conclusion of all this, nine members of congress, seven Democrats and two Republics, formed a committee to investigate.
Now, as shown above, some Trump supporters want these nine people to be criminally charged.
If you think this is just, and you call yourself a patriotic American, you may want to rethink your position.
