Description

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how Christopher Moynihan—among the first rioters to storm the Capitol on January 6, 2021, who rifled through senators' notebooks saying "there's gotta be something we can use against these fucking scumbags"—was arrested for threatening to assassinate House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just months after receiving a full pardon from Trump. The hosts reveal how Moynihan allegedly texted "I cannot allow this terrorist to live" and "I will kill him for the future" about Jeffries' scheduled New York City speech, leading to state terrorism charges that Trump cannot pardon. They detail how Moynihan is part of a disturbing pattern of at least 11 pardoned January 6 defendants arrested or killed since their release, including Andrew Taake (wanted for soliciting a minor), Edward Kelley (convicted of plotting to murder FBI agents), Matthew Huttle (fatally shot by police while armed days after his pardon), and others charged with possessing child sexual abuse material and child sexual assault, exposing the hypocrisy of Trump's "party of law and order" unleashing violent criminals who immediately re-offended.

If Trump chose to Pardon J6ers he was in admission to the Insurrection by aiding & abetting known Terrorists & Insurrectionists & should be prosecuted for treason to the U.S once he is/was sworn in.

Why would trump care, he is a billionaire who has suffered almost no consequences for anything he has done over the past 10 + years(his whole life actually).. he pardoned criminals during his first term and his people still voted for him.

Trump is evil. The corporate media (and their billionaire owners) has successfully brainwashed the public to not recognize what is going on.

Kash Patek said clearly that he was hiring Street Savvy, and trained less than 3 weeks for ICE. They are to arrest criminals, well they should start with the White House. Truly disgusting!
