If he really refrained from pardoning those who assaulted cops, just three or so of his J6 Choir buddies would get a pardon.

JD Vance says Jan. 6 defendants who were violent “obviously” should not be pardoned. He says without elaboration that there is a “gray area” here but this is the clearest line drawn yet by the incoming Trump White House. https://x.com/foxnewssunday/status/1878219107239080187?s=46&t=5kYw9c2PJQZJhk0tG9zU0g
