Part 6/7:

The Threat Against the Rule of Law

The discussion surrounding pardons and the potential legal ramifications for individuals involved in the January 6 attack raises alarming questions about the rule of law in the United States. Zoloft pointed out that clemency should be reserved for those who have genuinely reformed, not individuals who display a blatant disregard for the law. She expressed concern that Trump’s potential pardons could embolden future offenders to commit violent acts, believing they would receive similar leniency.

The extremity of these suggestions — to pardon violent criminals while threatening those who pursued truth and justice — poses a threat to the foundations of democracy and suggests a troubling shift away from accountability and governance by the rule of law.
