as posted by the channelTrump May Have Accidentally Pardoned the January 6th Pipe Bomber
The January 6 pardon issued by Trump on his first day back in office contains language so broad it may have accidentally pardoned the pipe bomber who planted explosives near the Capitol. The pardon document grants clemency to individuals convicted of offenses related to events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, with no temporal restrictions specifying conviction dates. Brian Cole Jr., the suspect charged with planting pipe bombs at RNC and DNC headquarters, appears covered by this sweeping language both at the indictment stage and potential conviction stage.
The pardon commuted sentences for Oath Keepers including Stewart Rhodes and Kelly Meggs, along with Proud Boys members like Dominic Pezzola, who breached the Capitol by smashing windows with a stolen police shield. The language instructs the Attorney General to dismiss pending indictments with prejudice for conduct related to January 6 events, potentially protecting Cole from prosecution despite his confession that Fox News election coverage motivated his actions.
Judge Jeanine Pirro now serves as US Attorney for Washington DC, bringing the indictment against Cole after her own Fox News show pushed election conspiracy theories that Cole cited as his motivation.
Legal experts note the pardon language contains no date restrictions, covers future convictions, and uses extraordinarily broad scope that Justice Department lawyers have struggled to navigate. The four corners doctrine means the text of the pardon matters regardless of Trump's intent, potentially creating an unprecedented loophole for the pipe bomber case.
