Donald Trump's Unconscionable Pardons of January 6th Criminals — Letters that should have been in the new york times

1.20.25

To the editor:

To all those pundits who urged a 'wait and see' attitude about Donald Trump's return to the office of the presidency, we have seen enough (1.20.25 Trump pardons nearly all of the 1600 Jan. 6 defendants). In a single act, pardoning nearly all of the 1600 Jan. 6 defendants, he has effectively denigrated the lives of those who died defending the Capital, elevated those who engaged in criminal behavior, attacked the rule of law which is the backbone of this country, and exposed, for the umpteenth time, his autocratic ambitions.

There is no question that Donald Trump will go down in the history books, but not for making American great again. Those complicit with his machinations will also make history in ways that will be ihard to undo.

Respectfully,
