Blumenthal: Prosecuting J6 Committee Members Will ‘Cause a Backlash Against Donald Trump’
Breitbart ^ | 12/11/2024 | Pam Key
Posted on 12/11/2024 10:56:08 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27
Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that he “strongly opposes” President Joe Biden pardoning lawmakers who led the January 6 committee because legal proceedings against them “would ultimately cause a backlash against Donald Trump.”
Blumenthal said, “I strongly oppose preemptive pardon. First of all, it’s in some ways going to be perceived as an implicit acknowledgment of guilt. I’m a former prosecutor, United States attorney, chief federal prosecutor in Connecticut, and state attorney general for 20 years. I know. And people should know that walking into a courtroom and making charges is far from proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. There is no evidence of wrongdoing against those members of the January 6 committees who brought those impeachment articles or who prosecuted them. And the likely beneficiaries of preemptive pardons would be the top echelon, and the underlings would still have the fear of that kind of prosecution.”

Rather, NOT INVESTIGATING the Jan 6 persecution and Jan 6 persecutors will cause Trump’s voters to be upset.

If they broke laws, how does that make a backlash? Nobody’s above the law, right?? Blumenthal should go soak his head.

Not when the truth is revealed. The RAT party will feel the backlash.

Funny how there was no backlash worry for 8 solid years of treason, wildly corrupt prosecution, and a fraudulent vendetta against Trump, his family, and his attorneys.
Only justice can restore America to an even keel.

How can you pardon someone if they have not been accused of a crime? The dems are essentially trying to hand out Get Out of Jail Free cards. That’s not a thing.

And people should know that walking into a courtroom and making charges is far from proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Unless their name is Trump. Then it’s plenty.

you mean all those mentally ill liberals will be mad at Trump again?
Did you mean to give me a reason to support this?
LMAO

Calling the J6 committee a “committee” is like calling an organized gang that burglarizes homes “building inspectors”.

And it sounds like he is ok with throwing them under the bus if it causes a backlash against Trump. I wonder what they think about that.

The underlings should face big prison terms. Make loud public examples of nobodies who did the corrupt legwork. Take away the worker bees for when they try that in the future. Make all the little Eichmanns afraid to play!

I’m a former prosecutor, United States attorney, chief federal prosecutor in Connecticut, and state attorney general for 20 years.

Blumenthal could also say: “AND, I’m a lying democrat, a supporter of murdering post birth babies, an athiest, marxist, socialist, America hating, narcissist. Just for starters.

No it won’t. His supporters will be ecstatic. You leftists and what you think don’t matter anymore.

Trump doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected, but Congress does.
