Trump Called Them Patriots One Just Threatened to Kill Hakeem Jeffries - The Logical Leftist

[TexasTowelie]

Christopher Moynihan was pardoned by Donald Trump on Inauguration Day — one of more than 1,500 January 6th rioters Trump called "political prisoners." Nine months later, Moynihan texted a plan to murder House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He is one of at least 33 pardoned insurrectionists now facing additional criminal charges.

On his first day back in office, Donald Trump signed a blanket pardon for more than 1,500 January 6th defendants — no individual review, no case-by-case analysis, no consideration of remorse or public safety. He called them political prisoners. He called them hostages. He promised the pardons would start a process of national reconciliation. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee later documented what that reconciliation actually looked like: at least 33 pardoned insurrectionists with new criminal charges including rape, child sexual assault, conspiracy to murder FBI agents, kidnapping, and domestic violence by strangulation.

Christopher Moynihan was one of the first rioters to breach police barricades on January 6th. He was on the Senate floor, on camera, rifling through a senator's notebook. He served 21 months in prison. Trump pardoned him on Day One. Nine months later, Moynihan texted that he planned to "eliminate" Hakeem Jeffries before a scheduled public speech in New York City. He was arrested, originally charged with a felony terroristic threat, and ultimately pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge in February 2026.

This video examines the mechanics of Trump's pardon machine — how it bypassed every standard safeguard, what it released back into the public, and what it cost. Trump built it. He owns every name on that list. And the fact that one of those names put death threats against a sitting congressman in writing, on a traceable device, and still only faced a misdemeanor is itself the story.
