Morning Wire reached out to William Shipley, an attorney representing dozens of J6 defendants, including the so-called QAnon shaman, and he said that all the prisoners should now have been released. We also asked Shipley about the complaint that Trump has pardoned some defendants who were engaged in some violence.
He defended Trump's decision, and he said that the blame for the demise of these cases falls on the Biden Justice Department.

Proud Boy member Dominic Pozzola was also on that list. He was convicted of stealing a police officer's riot shield and breaking a window. His sentence was initially 10 years, but again, that's now commuted. And probably the most politicized case in all of this is that of Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys. Tarrio was notably not in D.C.

Well, on Tuesday night, Trump pardoned Ross Albrecht, the creator of dark website The Silk Road. Trump promised that pardon to libertarians and delivered.

No pardons yet, but activists are expecting those very soon.
