RFK Jr. says he won’t comment on pardoning Jan. 6 rioters until he’s president

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would not discuss a possible pardon for the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot until he wins the general election.

President Kennedy has declined to reveal much about his approach to those who stormed the Capitol more than three years ago, saying they would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but said he would deal with them on a case-by-case basis, but said they would deal with them on a case-by-case basis, but said they would deal with those who stormed the Capitol more than three years ago, but said they would deal with them on a case-by-case basis. He announced that he would pardon Julian Assange.

Asked Tuesday on Fox News’ Neil Cavuto’s “Your World” whether it would be a “good idea” to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters, President Kennedy said, “I’m not going to comment on that.”

“You know, I never commented on that until I became president of the United States.”

Kabuto asked about Kennedy’s preferred approach, noting that former President Trump said on Monday that if re-elected to the White House, he would release all of the “hostages” of January 6.

President Trump: “My first act as president-elect will be to close the border and release Drill, Baby, Drill and the unjustly imprisoned hostages on January 6th.” I have written Monday on TruthSocial.

After saying he would not comment on the issue, President Kennedy said he would use presidential pardon powers if elected later this year. He said that apart from Mr. Assange and Mr. Snowden, there was a possibility of pardoning Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the dark web marketplace.

“I forgive people,” Kennedy said. “I’m going to use my pardon power, and I’m going to use it immediately in public office. I’m going to pardon Julian Assange. I’m going to pardon Edward Snowden. If Ross Ulbricht’s indictment… If I see that his sentence, a very long sentence, is the result of him making an example of punishing Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, I might forgive him.”

Kabuto then asked if the measures would be extended to those jailed for rioting on January 6th.

“We will look at each case on a case-by-case basis,” Kennedy said.

More than 1,300 people have been charged in connection with the riot at the Capitol. At least 400 people have been charged with assaulting law enforcement, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
