Why using Jan. 6 report to decide Trump’s disqualification from the ballot isn’t 'problematic': analyst
As CBS News reporter Scott MacFarlane noted, Friday is the anniversary of President Donald Trump's pardons of all Jan. 6 attackers, and it turns out some are back in "legal peril."
In a thread on X, MacFarlane began with Zachary Alam, who is set to have a sentencing hearing in January over a breaking-and-entering case in Virginia.
Alam was among those who made it inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Alam could be seen in the Speaker's Lobby, where he confronted the police.
Christopher Moynihan of New York was pardoned along with the Jan. 6 attackers who invaded the building to target Senate leaders. But months after his pardon, he sent threats to "eliminate" Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)
"John Banuelos faces a court hearing later this month in a kidnapping case in Utah," reported MacFarlane. "Banuelos, who was accused of firing a gun into [the] air during [the] Capitol siege, was arrested months after his pardon."
According to police, a DNA test linked the man to a 2018 sex assault.
Edward Kelley is already back in jail after he was accused of "develop[ing] a plan to murder law enforcement, including agents, officers, and employees of the FBI" during his Jan. 6 "investigation." He'll remain in prison until April 2061.
Shane Woods is also behind bars with a 14-year prison term after he killed a woman in 2022 driving the wrong way down a street. He was charged before Trump issued his blanket pardon.
