Most of the [#ProudBoys & the #OathKeepers] defendants were convicted on #sedition charges & were serving #prison terms of up to 18 years. Under the #commutations, their sentences will be reduced to time served.

Let's be clear, since the media won't be.

The #Jan6Pardons are a direct insult to the rule of law and the jury system. This is not just red meat for his base, this is him rebuilding his paramilitary mob.

These pardons are very, very bad.
