There were probably more that we don't know about.

There's a range.

They range from extremely, extremely remorseful to completely unremorseful and thinking that they're completely justified in their crimes, in their participation in Jan 6, and then also asserting that their crimes since the riot should also be covered by Trump's pardon.

I spoke on the phone yesterday with Emily Hernandez's lawyer.

She was in a drunk driving accident and she ended up killing a woman.

And she apparently, according to her lawyer, is extremely remorseful, wishes, you know, she was completely caught up in kind of the Trump world for her participation in the riot and feels really bad about, you know,

hurting somebody else.

And she said that if she could switch places with that person, she absolutely would.

There are other people who, you know, have just, their lawyers got back to me and they said that the, that it was the tentacles of lawfare, not my lawfare, the Trumpian lawfare, the tentacles of lawfare that are the reason for this prosecution.

And that, you know, they are being unjustly targeted by the media.

They were unjustly targeted by the Biden justice department and they received a pardon and then the pardon should,

should apply to these crimes.

So there's a range.

Yeah, 100%.

The lawyers that did get back to me were quick to specify that their clients during Jan 6th just showed up.

They thought they were being patriots and they didn't hurt people.

Burton did.

But I think that it was a display of the real harm that these lies and this election propaganda did to this country, to these people's lives.

And I think that

I know these people are a lot of them are feeling remorseful, but I honestly think that because the messaging is continued and they feel justified and they've received this pardon, which has been just, you know, kind of excused a lot of this horrible behavior.
