Hostages to Be Released

President Donald Trump has pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, including people convicted of assaulting police officers…[More]

As Stewart Rhodes recalls, when advocating the same:

Most of the men I met were, as President Trump said, coerced into accepting a guilty plea “bargain” to avoid decades in prison. Others had a Soviet-style show trial in DC, where, of course, they were found “guilty” after being denied the right to even argue self-defense or defense of others (imagine if Daniel Penny had been precluded from making that argument in his trial). They weren’t allowed to show the jury video of police using excessive force just seconds before their own actions. The prosecution cut that out of the video, and the defense couldn’t even discuss it.

In the meantime, their lives have been upended and their livelihoods destroyed, some beyond repair. Many questions will unfold. For now, this is a major victory and a major indicator of hope for this administration.

Let’s hope that extends to 2A, because I was concerned he didn’t mention it once during his speech and it doesn’t appear under “Issues” on his new White House website.

We’re the Only Ones Sketchy Enough

“He has four days on site, puts together his plan, kind of sketches out where he wants everyone. He never set foot on or in that building,” Davis said, noting that the lead sniper blamed this oversight on needing to do “paperwork.” [More]

He probably figured with a sloped roof no one would risk it.

I expect this one will be tied up in courts a while.

Setting the Stage for Trump v. Bondi?

Because Trump’s convictions involved crimes that were notionally punishable by more than a year of incarceration, they made him subject to a federal law that bars him from possessing firearms. [More]

But not the nuclear football…

I do wonder– if he challenged this – would his AG defend the law and fight him…?

No I don’t.

Former President Trump suggested Sunday that one “rough hour” of policing would end crime, as he called for law enforcement to be freed up to “do their job” without restrictions.

What a Difference a Day Makes

What Trump Says He Will Do on Day One [More]

I could have sworn he created a very public expectation about guns:

“Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day.”

And more:

“[S]tarting the minute that Crooked Joe shuffles his way out of the White House at noon on Inauguration Day, we will sack the anti-gun fanatic Steve Dettelbach … and replace him with an ATF director who respects the sacred rights to keep and bear arms.”

OK, Dettelbach sacked himself, but we’ll have to see if his replacement is a priority, and what difference he will make.

And again:

“Under a Trump Administration, all of those Biden disasters get ripped up and torn out my first week, but maybe my first day in office,” the president declared “Okay maybe my first.”

Senate Should Demand Unequivocal Answers from Bondi on Second Amendment

Or they could just give her a pass for “I believe in the Second Amendment BUT…”

I’m Just a Little Black Raincloud

I hate to be Eeyore, but with all the hyperbole and excitement I’m seeing about national Constitutional Carry reciprocity, it doesn’t seem out of line to ask the gushers and the click baiters to provide a realistic estimate of whose votes we can count on, and which “Republicans” will join with the slim Democrat minority to keep the bill from getting to the president’s desk.

No one would like my caution to be proven unfounded more than me. The last thing I want to see with such great expectations is the wind taken out of everyone’s sails.

Anyone care to help me jump on the bandwagon?

The Felon in Chief?

Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to “unconditional discharge,” meaning no jail, no probation and no fine. But the sentence will still formally make Trump the first criminal convict ever to occupy the Oval Office. [More]

We’ll see what happens with an appeal.

In the meantime, is a “prohibited person” in charge of ATF?
