Tim Dickinson published a piece in The Contrarian listing various January 6 rioters who have been pardoned or had their sentences commuted, and what they have been up to.

If you took the Over on five of them being charged with child sex crimes, you won your bet. We’re up to at least six.

Donald Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of all the Jan. 6 criminals on his first day back in office. He set loose a crew of seditionists, violent felons, moral reprobates, and menaces to society — or as he has called them, “great patriots” who participated in a “day of love.”

The pardons were an affront to law and order — as well as to public safety. Dozens have been arrested on new criminal offenses, including at least six who have been charged with child sex crimes.

One pardoned rioter actually has been charged with promising his anticipated Trump payout to bribe his child sex victim into silence. NBC:

A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for storming the Capitol was arrested on child molestation charges, according to Florida officials, who said he tried to use an anticipated Jan. 6 payout to silence the victim.

Andrew Paul Johnson, 44, was arrested in Tennessee in August and extradited to Florida on charges of lewd/lascivious molestation, lewd/lascivious exhibition and transmission of material harmful to a minor.

So many of these pardoned insurrectionists have been arrested for terrible crimes of sexual assault, assault, and terrorist threats. Worse, one has even gone on to work in Trump’s Justice Department.
