. . . of how many of the J6 thugs who Trump pardoned have been re-arrested, tried, found guilty when they got back home.

From reading snippets on the 'net, I suspect the number is close to 100.

My favorite was this asshole who was pardoned on Jan 22, 2025, by Trump -- he lasted 5 days, until Jan 27, 2025:

RENSSELAER, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana man was fatally shot by a deputy during a traffic stop just days after he was pardoned by President Donald Trump for a misdemeanor related to the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot.

Matthew Huttle, 42, of Hobart was killed Sunday by a Jasper County sheriff's deputy, authorities said.

State police are investigating. They said the deputy tried to arrest Huttle when "an altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect.


I hope they pinned a medal on this deputy sheriff.
