Why wouldn't he? He wants to reward the heroes that he "loves." 100% is an exaggeration, because a pardon at this point in time looks bad, but then again so do pardons for people convicted of massacring innocents but they got a pardon too. I would put $100 on him giving out a pardon to as many as he can.
No way. Had you said 15% that's a a more believable guess. He gives no shit about these people. They are just ants and pawns in his eyes. Once they are of no use to him, he will dispose of them. Why would he put any effort into this?

That 15% is just there in case he wants to stick it to others and no more than that.

You're right except that you seem to think they are of no use to him. What good is being an emperor if you have no one to lord over? His base are by far his most important asset. He knows that. They'll get pardoned because they will love him more for it and it costs him nothing.

Dunno but is it possible for the feds to basically say go fuck yourself to any money raised in a gofundme?
We havnt seen it happen yet. It's up to the people at gofundme to strike down someone's attempt to set it up. But then again what's to stop some white nationalist from setting up their own site like gofundme for people like a Kyle Rittenhouse 🤔

To all the people worried about a Trump pardon, Trump ain't doing shit. Trump is only out for himself and protecting his own interests. It does him no good to pardon any of these fuckers and it would only put him in deeper shit.
He's definitely going to try to go out riding the PR wave of "I forced the $2,000".

yeah i know. but i didn't know what other term to use to differentiate between state and federal since district-level isn't a thing.

Yah to be fair I thought it mean all are federal crimes but apparently I was wrong

www.graciamintz.com

Are All Crimes in Washington, D.C. Federal Crimes?

Washington, D.C. has a complex and complicated system for handling criminal charges. As the District of Columbia is a federal territory, it is governed by different rules than other places. Does that mean all crimes are federal crimes? Learn more on the Gracia & Mintz blog.

Complicated shit lol

Apologies

He was already complaining about how 'low class' the protestors looked - I think he'd rather avoid the scrutiny of mass pardons and leave them hanging. They served their purpose and will now take their turn being thrown under the bus like everyone else Trump interacts with.

I'm pretty sure Trump's lawyers are telling him not to pardon these people if he wants to. I don't think he even cares to though.

They should charge all these people after Trump is out. It would suck balls if Trump is able to pardon them.

Some of these idiots actually had a napalm type cocktail in bottles ready to use (styrofoam mixed with gas). Nice people.

I hate when Arkansas is in the news for something bad. Us in Little Rock are like "really? Where is he from, here?" Lol.

This, trump stopped caring about his subjects when they were no longer useful to him.

stupid sheep, they might realize it one day, but I doubt it.

They can file additional charges, they just needed easy to justify arrestable charges for the moment.


It is extremely normal for law-enforcement and prosecutors to only arrest someone for minor crimes while they build up the case on more serious ones.
