      I’m legitimately confused. Why is this different than Jan6ers who were pardoned? I thought violent insurrection/protest was legal since Jan 6 2021. ELI5.

      It’s also illegal in some places to bring an orange into a bathtub, we use common law in the US so citing civil law statutes is not a valid argument.

      I know you’re a Russian shill based on your comment history, your home country follows civil law so perhaps that’s confusing to you.

        You can be pardoned for having done something illegal.

        Jan 6th benefits trump, torching teslas doesn’t. His doj won’t apply the laws equally, the rule of law is long dead in the US.
