Fox News: WILLIAM SHIPLEY: Why Trump's sweeping Jan. 6 pardons were justified
President Trump’s pardons for January 6 defendants have sparked criticism, with many claiming that guilty individuals have escaped justice. However, the focus should also be on the due process rights that were allegedly compromised during their trials, which raises questions about the validity of their convictions.
The Biden Justice Department reportedly altered standard practices, refusing to allow defendants to plead guilty in their home districts, insisting on sentencing in D.C. courts. This approach, according to critics, undermined the defendants' rights and justifies Trump's pardons.
