Officer Michael Fanone didn't mince words when asked about Trump pardoning all of his J6 "hostages" who assaulted Fanone and his fellow officers during the insurrection on the Capitol. Fanone made an appearance on CNN shortly after the pardons were announced, and I share his disgust with what Trump just did, and with those that voted for him. COOPER: I'm wondering when you heard the news and what what's going through your mind tonight? FANONE: I just heard the news from your producers a few moments ago, and the only thing that is going through my mind right now is that, this is what the American people voted for. Donald Trump has been promising these pardons ever since he announced his candidacy in Waco, Texas, the scene of one of the most notorious battles between American law enforcement and the American extremist extremist movement that resulted in the death of numerous law enforcement officers. Thanks America. COOPER: This feels like a betrayal to you. FANONE: Oh I have been betrayed by my country.

Donald Trump has pardoned over 1500 convicted Trump supporters who assaulted the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021 and tried to overthrow the 2020 election. Yes, it's a disgrace. Now what?

In a recent Politico report, Judge Tanya Chutkan and others were having a judicial existential crisis, wondering what they were doing if the Orange Felon was only going to pardon all the insurrectionists. At the time, Chutkan was trying the case of Brian Kelly, one of the insurrectionists. Kelly was eventually sentenced to a relative slap on the wrist, 10 days in jail. However, what made this story notable was the snark the defense lawyer shot at the Orange Felon, hitting him dead center: Attorney Gregory Hunter, who was representing Kelly in court this week, told Chutkan he wasn't so sure that Trump would keep his promise to pardon people like his client. "He promised three wives he’d be faithful," Hunter said. "Don't go there," Chutkan shot back. Oh dear, I'm sorry.
