Letting them know he'll be there for them when he asks them to do more violence.
Jake Chansley, the far-right conspiracy theorist and Capitol rioter who was pardoned by President Donald Trump on Monday, plans to buy some guns to celebrate.

Chansley, who received one of the longest prison sentences of any Jan 6. rioter, wrote “I got a pardon baby! Thank you President Trump!”, in a post on X.

“Now I am gonna buy some motha f*kin guns!!!” he continued.

Just hours after taking office, the Republican President made good on his election promise and granted pardons to 1,500 supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those charged with trespassing and assaulting police officers.

Mr Trump, who described the rioters as “hostages”, issued “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offences related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021”

[...]

Trump also ordered that all pending criminal cases against Capitol riot defendants be dropped.

But he wants to jail people on the January 6 Committee.
The President also commuted the sentences of 14 members of the far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers organisations, with their sentences are to be reduced to time served.






I'm not trying not to.  I've been thinking ruefully about them for years.
