The article discusses the mixed reactions surrounding President Trump's pardons for individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. House Republicans are forming a subcommittee to investigate the incident, claiming to provide the 'full truth' about an event that is widely documented. While some families, like Mariah Johnatakis whose husband was pardoned, express joy and relief, others feel a sense of lawlessness from the clemency granted to those involved in the violent events of that day. This duality underscores the complex emotions surrounding the issue of justice and accountability after January 6.
Marie Johnatakis: I just got done bawling. Rosin: Bawling. As in crying. Hard.
House Republicans created a select subcommittee to investigate the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and uncover the "full truth that is owed to the American people."
Trump kept his promise. Hours after being sworn in, he gave clemency to more than 1,500 people convicted of involvement at the Capitol that day.
For some, this is order restored; for so many other Americans, this is lawless abandon.
