Remember when Trump pardoned all the January 6 treason-committers? Cool that they’re now free to plan more treasonous murder.

An upstate New York man pardoned by President Trump after taking part in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was charged last week with a new crime: threatening to assassinate Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, at an event in New York City.

The man, Christopher P. Moynihan, 34, sent text messages to an unknown associate on Friday threatening Mr. Jeffries’s life, according to a criminal complaint issued by local prosecutors in Dutchess County, N.Y.

“Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live,” the complaint quoted Mr. Moynihan as saying. “Even if I am hated he must be eliminated. I will kill him for the future.”

No doubt Trump will be giving him a tour of the White House this afternoon.

“Since the blanket pardon that occurred earlier this year, many of the criminals released have committed additional crimes throughout the country,” Mr. Jeffries said. “Unfortunately, our brave men and women in law enforcement are being forced to spend their time keeping our communities safe from these violent individuals who should never have been pardoned.”

While other pardoned rioters have been rearrested since the president’s grant of clemency, Mr. Moynihan appears to be the only one so far who has been charged again with committing an offense against an elected official.

Well that’s a big help.

Experts in political violence have long expressed concerns that the clemency Mr. Trump extended to the Jan. 6 rioters, including those who assaulted police officers, could lead to further politically tinged violence.

Ya think??
