Those pardoned include Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys chairman, who faced a sentence of 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. Tarrio’s attorney told the Associated Press he expects Tarrio to face release Monday evening.
This is wonderful because he
- Wasn’t even there
- Is only guilty to writing a silly manifesto about illegally & peacefully occupying the Capitol and demanding a recount or another election
- Content was completely non-violent; mentioned ‘hype men!’, never mentioned guns

Writing up a plan organizing illegal activity is pretty bad to be fair

True, but writing up a plan for an illegal sit-in where they explicitly said they might have to pull fire alarms is not 22 years in jail bad.

Yeah I would have rather seen his sentenced commuted.
