No, don't release the terrorists, please.... Honestly though, even if they were full fledged terrorists, what does he think they are going to do if they just release them from custody near a judge's house? Are they in any way motivated or equipped to go commit crimes against them? They aren't homing pigeons you can deploy against your political enemies.
Donald Trump is threatening a planned attack against Supreme Court Justices. He is planning to release people with instructions to cause harm. Basically, he will be deputizing prisoners, possibly in exchange to assassinate his political opponents for the prisoner's freedom.
He already did release a bunch of terrorists with orders to target his enemies. They're all the J6ers he pardoned.
Tons of them have been re-arrested already, though. He needs fresh meat
I’ve only heard of like three getting arrested and one killed by cops.
Tons of them are getting re-hired as Brownshirts for sure.
Imagine if literally any other human alive said this shit.
Felonious acts by a felon?!
You don't say!
A whisper of a murder for a pardon would be all it takes. He doesn't even have to whisper though since it would be an official act and ok for the president to do.
