Rep. Jamie Raskin defended the pardons he and other Jan. 6 committee members received from Biden.

He got those because he claims he’s innocent.

But President Trump’s pardons for over 1,500 Capitol visitors were given because they were “violent” ?

Just another case of gaslighting, brought to you by CNN and the Democrats.

People can’t be buying this.

The Hill report:

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a former member of the Jan. 6 committee, sought to distinguish between the pardon he received from former President Biden compared to those President Trump gave to those who stormed the Capitol.

Just hours apart, both Biden and Trump issued a number of pardons. An order from Biden gave a preemptive pardon to all nine members of the panel that investigated the attack on the Capitol, while Trump, through a series of pardons and commutations, cleared the slate for the more than 1,500 people being prosecuted for the attack.

“Look, the people who were pardoned this morning were pardoned because we were innocent,” Raskin said during an appearance on CNN, adding that Trump was threatening committee leaders Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and others with “fraudulent political prosecutions.”

“The people who were just pardoned a little while ago, were pardoned because they were guilty of violently assaulting police officers, carrying dangerous weapons inside the Capitol, destroying federal property and so on. And it was just a mass pardon for all of them, without even looking to see whether those people were rehabilitated and whether they continue to pose a threat to public safety,” Raskin said.

How did he feel about pardons before?

Even Schumer says something similar:
