California’s Senator-elect Adam Schiff is very upset about Donald Trump’s promise to pardon those involved in the January 6th protests.
In an interview with ABC News, host George Stephanopoulos asked Schiff about Trump’s plan to pardon some or all of those involved in that fateful day.
According to Schiff, Trump’s mandate was the result of the crime infecting American towns and cities, particularly in his home state of California.
He explained:
Well, I am greatly concerned about it. First of all, that he could pardon people that beat police officers, gouged them, bear sprayed them, but also, even beyond that, just the general message it would send, George, that his first pardons are going to go to people who sought through the use of violence at the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power, that played some role in that. Really, that’s who he wants to pardon?
The American people, I think, voted for him in part because they wanted something done about crime, not because they wanted to see him pardon criminals attacking the government.
They want something done about Fentanyl, they want something done about, in California, smash and grab robberies. This is not what they had in mind, not political revenge, not rewarding people who participated in an insurrection to stop the transfer of power.

As long reported and exposed by The Gateway Pundit, many of those involved in the January 6th protests have been abused, persecuted and tortured at the hands of the Biden regime.
In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker last weekend, Trump said he will act on “day one” to free those who were wrongly persecuted, although he stopped short of saying he would offer a blanket pardon for all involved.
“We’re going to look at everything,” he said at the time. “We’re going to look at individual cases, yeah. I’m going to be acting very quickly… First day.”
Schiff, meanwhile, has rejected the idea of Biden offering him a pre-emptive pardon because he does not believe he has committed any crimes.
“I don’t want to see a precedent where you have presidents, as they leave office, issuing blanket pardons to members of their party or members of their administration,” Schiff recently told The Los Angeles Times.
“There was talk of Trump doing that when he left office, of members like Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan seeking pardons from him. It would be another diminution in our democracy, and I just think it’s completely unnecessary.”
