Is Trump Undermining the Rule of Law?
On Day One, President Trump issued an
executive order pardoning over 1,500 people who were convicted for their
actions on January 6th, 2001. The news was met with rounds of applause by the
MAGA base and Trump compared these convicted criminals to the hostages being
held by Hamas. Queens
accident attorneys and other members of the legal bar are wondering if these
actions are undermining the rule of law in the United States. Let’s explore.
What Crimes Did the January 6th Defendants Commit?
Many of the
people freed by Trump’s executive order were found guilty by a jury of their
peers for violent acts such as assaulting police officers. Their guilt was
clear from videos showing them beating police officers with baseball bats
during the insurrection on January 6th, 2001. Queens
catastrophic Injury attorneys and Queens
pedestrian accident attorneys handle civil actions but have studied
criminal and follow the news. That’s why the majority of Queens accident
attorneys condemn these pardons as threatening the rule of law in the United
States.
Is This Action Unprecedented?
Like so many of Trump’s actions inside and outside of office, they expand upon powers in a way that’s never been done before. The pardon power of a President is broad, but never before has a President pardoned so many people convicted of serious crimes. It is even more egregious that these crimes were committed by his followers based on his incitement. That’s why so many Queens accident attorneys are condemning these actions.
