Ehemalige Polizeibeamte des Kapitols bezeichnen Trumps Gelübde, Randalierer vom 6. Januar zu begnadigen, als „Verrat“

It’s true. Those pardons would be a slap in the face to every officer who was injured (physically OR mentally) that day. At least one officer died, so it must make his family feel horrible to know that the incoming president doesn’t give a crap about them or their loss.

Yes I have also despaired watching the ruling class treat the justice system as concretely optional

It just shows he was involved in it which he continues to deny.

We can’t let them rewrite the narrative : copied from another thread on Dangerous Stories starting to come from the GOP about J6:

Here’s the simple fact, if you take Trump out of the equation, January 6th never happens, it really is that simple.
For months leading up to the election, and since thereafter, Trump has promoted election denying propaganda, lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories. Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, his lies, his denial, his fruitless legal battles, his violence inciting language, and his invitation to his supporters helped facilitate the events of January 6th. He is predominantly responsible for what transpired on that fateful day.
And this is just one aspect of the January 6th investigation’s findings.
The investigation showed that many Trump supporters did indeed bring weapons with them to the Capitol. However, the magnetometers in place prevented hundreds from bringing those weapons with them into the grounds and rally area.
Testimony revealed that Donald Trump knew about these weapons. Trump reportedly claimed that his supporters weren’t “here to hurt him,” and that they should “take the fucking mags away,” he continued, “let my people in, they can march to the capital from here. Let the people in, take the fucking mags away.”
The investigation also revealed Trump’s inaction as events were unfolding. It was reported that for 187 minutes, Trump refused to take any public action to stop the violence.
During this time, Trump was watching the events unfold on television from his private dining room next to the oval office. It was concluded that Trump could have stopped the violence but chose not to.
Before I continue, let’s address the right wing narrative that accuses Nancy Pelosi of being responsible for the violence.
As per the article:
Indeed, the only thing we know for certain from this report is that Trump is blameless for anything bad that may or may not have happened that day. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi is largely at fault, with an assist from the Pentagon, which failed to send troops to rectify Pelosi’s personal failure to prepare for whatever untoward events may have occurred.
The report conveniently blames Nancy Pelosi for what transpired.
Nevermind the fact that those truly responsible are the people who incited the violence, and facilitated the Capitol riot, as well as those that took action that day to clash with police and storm the Capitol.
These claims that accuse Nancy Pelosi of being responsible for January 6th are not supported by the facts. Indeed, Pelosi did not have the authority to activate the National Guard, this power lies with the president, The Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of the army.
In fact, records show that Pelosi approved a previous request for National Guard support, and continued pushing for their deployment when delays occurred.
Yet still, the MAGA movement has continued to scapegoat Democrats and radical leftist groups, while whitewashing and downplaying the events of that day, and promoting January 6th conspiracy theories.
Fox contributor Monica Crowley posted on social media last January, “3 years ago today, the System manufactured a riot at the Capitol to crush the powerful America First movement, frame President @realDonaldTrump and prevent him from winning again.”
Instead of holding Trump accountable, the report targets members of the January 6th investigation, Liz Cheney in particular:
What caused the third-highest-ranking member of the House Republican Conference, a woman on track to be House Speaker or perhaps more, to turn against an honest and true man like Donald Trump and commit terrible crimes against MAGA?
What exactly happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6 that exposed the security failures?
These rhetorical questions serve only to direct blame away from Trump and bolster conspiracy theories.
The Wyoming GOP censured Cheney for her participation in the investigation and later made a statement promoting false conspiracy theories.
In its February 2021 complaint against Cheney, the Wyoming state GOP noted that “ample video evidence suggests the riot at the capital was instigated by Antifa and BLM radicals.”
The report also claims that Hutchinson was a tampered witness and her claims were unsubstantiated because she refused to take counsel from her MAGA-funded lawyer.
Trump called Hutchinson a “total phony” and “leaker” because she spoke out against him. The entirety of their case against Hutchinson is based purely on Republicans simply not liking what she had to say.
The January 6 investigation also revealed the following:
• ⁠Donald Trump conspired to overturn the election, took actions to “defraud the United States” and disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans.
• ⁠He also attempted to install loyalists into positions of power within the DOJ, including Jeffrey Clark, who would support his unfounded claims of election fraud and try to use the power of the justice department to overturn the election results.
• ⁠Trump also pressured state officials to change the outcome of the election in their states.
• ⁠Trump and his allies attempted a fake elector scheme designed to generate and submit slates of fake electors In several key states to replace the legitimate electors certified by those states.
• ⁠He also pressured and intimidated Mike Pence to reject the certified electoral votes in Congress.
And at the risk of repeating myself, Trump and his defenders often focus on a couple of lines delivered by Trump on January 6th during his rally outside the Capitol. They claim that moments taken from this one speech absolve Trump of all wrongdoing. But this is disingenuous and absurd.
Months leading up to the election, Donald Trump made multiple speeches, posted several diatribes on social media, and repeated over and over again false claims about a stolen election. His rhetoric was incendiary, he spread countless lies and droves of misinformation, he promoted propaganda and conspiracies, and invited his supporters to the Capitol. All of these actions and more incited his supporters to violence, mobilized organized extremist groups, and set the stage for January 6th. To think otherwise is beyond ignorant.
And to have the audacity to place blame at the feet of anyone else, can only be contributed to fanatical behavior and extreme narrow-mindedness.

Before the Capitol had even been secured, Representative Paul Gosar, Republican of Arizona, was asserting on Twitter that the events had “all the hallmarks of Antifa provocation.” Hours later, the Fox News commentator Laura Ingraham was telling viewers that “there are some reports that antifa sympathizers may have been sprinkled throughout the crowd.” And by morning, Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, was claiming on the House floor that some rioters “were masquerading as Trump supporters and in fact were members of the violent terrorist group antifa.” (Mr. Gaetz would become President-elect Trump’s first choice for attorney general before being derailed by scandal.)
