Posted • December 13, 2024: As we get closer to the inauguration, and Donald Trump has said he plans on pardoning the January 6 defendants, this is an interesting development from the DOJ. -- POLITICO @politico: “Justice Department: Jan. 6 defendants who accept pardons will make ‘a confession of guilt’.” https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/11/doj-trump-january-6-pardons-guilt-00193823 -- The Justice Department sent a message Wednesday to Jan. 6 defendants: Accepting a pardon from Donald Trump is 'a confession of guilt' for your crimes. '[A] pardon at some unspecified date in the future … would not unring the bell of conviction,' federal prosecutors argued in a Jan. 6 case before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols. 'In fact, quite the opposite. The defendant would first have to accept the pardon, which necessitates a confession of guilt.'

Nope. No they won't. Doesn't work that way. Did Crackhead make an admission of guilt? Did Hunter Biden make a 'confession of guilt' when he accepted a ten-year blanket pardon from his daddy? If not, this is garbage. Me: The Justice Department will ingest an enormous satchel of Richards. It doesn't work this way. So they're saying Hunter Biden really is a tax dodging crackhead who illegally possessed firearms? No, no. That's (D)ifferent. But people of the Biden Administration getting Pardons preemptively and never having to plead guilty. Seems fair. Totally fair. Not. Where is that required? It's not. It's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation: don't accept the pardon and you're guilty. Accept the pardon and you're also guilty. A pardon can be accepted without admitting guilt. Also, the Justice Department cannot put conditions on pardons.

The fact they're trying to put conditions on pardons for Jan 6 defendants shows exactly why they need to be pardoned: this is a two-tier justice system. Donald Trump and his administration need to make this reasoning very clear when they issue the pardons. -- "Whatever else January 6th was… IT WAS NOT A TRUMP-LED INSURECTION." - Tucker Carlson. (…)
