Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin, who is facing charges in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot, has turned on the former president in a conference speech for abandoning January 6 rioters and failing to deliver on a campaign promise.
Griffin is facing misdemeanor criminal charges in the insurrection on the Capitol on January 6, where he was seen attempting to lead a crowd of rioters in prayer on an outdoor terrace. He supports Trump's baseless claims of widespread voter fraud, but denies that he knowingly entered restricted grounds to disrupt Congress certifying President Joe Biden's election win.
"We supported President Trump because of his fight for justice as well. And for four years we cried, 'Lock her up. Lock her up. Lock her up.' We know she's a criminal. What did the president tell us? 'If I was in charge of the law, you'd be in jail,'" Griffin said Sunday at a QAnon conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Mr. President, you've been in charge of the law for four years," he added. "At the end of your four year time, the only ones locked up were men like me, and others like me, that have stood by the president the strongest."

There was discussion about this in terms of Trump pardoning his family members.

So it is interesting that he did not pardon the insurrectionists.
He could have done so.

(5,722 posts)No, you don't, fool. That's something you want to believe, but endless hearings couldn't come up with an actual crime, let alone evidence of guilt. But you worship a criminal who has repeatedly openly bragged about his crimes--or at least you did, until he fucked you over. Which shouldn't have surprised you in the least...sucker.
The daily preposterous rightwanker hashtag currently attempting to gain support on Twitter is a demand to arrest Dr. Fauci, ostensibly over "puppygate." The general response seems to be "on what charges?" At last check, I did not see an answer to this question, but it's not like fascists have ever cared about such details.

(298 posts)You knew exactly what was going to happen, and you gleefully participated in something you knew was a lie. You are a weak man and it now shows just how weak you truly are. You are in a cult... and as long as you remain in this cult, bad things will keep happening to you. You made the wrong choice. Now you gotta pay..... fool!

(5,810 posts)of screwing people over, 40 ways to Sunday, that somehow theyll be the exception. tRumps history is littered with former business partners, ex-wives, lawyers, accounting employees, children the list goes on and on . All people who had a relationship with tRump that he used, abused and abandoned. But these MENSA level folks think theyll be the exception?? Now that is some kind of serious delusion going on.
