Interesting footnote to Trump's rally statement:At Saturday's rally in Conroe, Tex., Trump said, "If I run, and if I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly."
"And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons," he continued. "Because they are being treated so unfairly."
That seems a tiny bit hypocritical, compared to his position in 2020.
Trump signs executive order directing DOJ to prosecute people who destroy monuments - Vox
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday directing federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute people who damage federal monuments.
The order directs the Department of Justice to “prosecute to the fullest extent permitted under Federal law” people who damage government monuments, participate in “efforts to incite violence,” or damage religious property. Damaging federal property can be punished by up to 10 years in prison.
Trump announced the edict on Twitter, hours after tweeting a poster from the FBI seeking information about 15 people alleged to have been involved in attempting to tear down a statue of Andrew Jackson near the White House on Monday night, and calling for all 15 to face “10 year prison sentences!”
Some might call it being 'two faced'...
