Pam Hempel

Oh, it's been very difficult trying to wrap this around my mind, you know, that the most dangerous and convicted villains are out. You know, the ones that actually attacked police officers. I'm just trying to wrap it around my mind. It's unbelievable. I've been angry, you know. Of course, I know why this is happening.

You know, this is Trump's message that the DOJ is weaponized against him and the J6ers. And it's not true.

Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol Police officers, the rule of law, and of course our nation. I pleaded guilty because I was guilty. And accepting a pardon also, it would serve to contribute to their gaslining, their false narrative. I don't want to be a part of what they're trying to do is rewrite history. And I don't want to be a part of that. We were wrong that day.

We broke the law. There should be no pardons.

I believe, feeling that now we are above the law. And Trump mentioned, because somebody asked him, if they would be included in any discussions. And he's considering that. But the reason, see, he needs his little army to go out there now when there's peaceful protesting going on and start fights, because that's all they do.

Now, though, when people are protesting against Trump, he's got people to send out there, like little militias, you know.

I felt very nervous at first.
