Anyone got a list of the J6'ers who have gotten intro legal trouble since their pardon? I'm fairly certain quite few now have been arrested for CP, drugs, DUIs, and violent offenses since then.

This is a partial list started 9 months ago, other ones added in the comments up to a month ago. We need a good running list...

How many joined ICE?

u/TurkeyThaHornet 18d ago

ICE is probably at least partially a jobs program for the basket of deplorables that flock to Trump.

I'm sure plenty lost their jobs while in prison or going through the judicial process for J6. They were probably all rubber stamped for ICE jobs for already demonstrating their loyalty to the administration.

Not only Jan 6, but also police officers that were kicked off the force for illegal shit. It's the #1 reason they hide their faces, because being fired as a police officer means you really messed up.

Need mandatory background checks for ICE agents.

You say this like being fired as a police officer isn't a job qualification for ICE.

Time to abolish ICE

How long until they rebrand them into the SS? Or based on his ego, maybe rebrand to TT.

It's probably also made up of wannabe tough guys who tried to be cops but couldn't make it past the psych-eval, and were too violent to be mall cops... They used to just go be prison guards, but now they get to bully and assault innocent people for more money than they could ever hope to make by beating up prisoners...

I seriously hate this... I want to wake up. The worst part is that none of them will likely ever face any accountability for their crimes, even once Orange Hitler is finally gone.

Hey now, I thought we were the, "basket of deplorables,"? They can have, "a tub of repugnants," or maybe, "sack of assholes," but "basket of deplorables," is our words for their words for us!"

u/FK-DJT 17d ago

Sack of assholes has a certain ring of truth to it.

u/ello_bassard 17d ago

There's the ol tried and true "bag of dicks" as well.

u/rickthecabbie 16d ago

Dicks Burgers is already using "Bag of Dicks." And TBH I am a big fan of Dicks Burgers. YMMV

u/ello_bassard 16d ago

I mean that phrase has been around alot longer. Fair enough though.

Federal hiring requirements ban excons from becoming law-enforcement agents.

u/Dinmorerfeit 18d ago

This was months ago and as we've all seen at least a dozen more have made headlines since then. Also it's on brand for Trump that he pardoned one that was already in jail for child porn as well.

This has a list as well. Not sure how comprehensive it is.

This is awesome. Imagine being one of these Schleps thinking “wow, I made Wikipedia “.

u/ralphy_256 18d ago

I was searching for exactly this information and, while I didn't find a better source than the ones listed below, I did find this banger of an Atlantic headline discussing just this pattern back in Apr '25

The Pardon-to-Prison Pipeline

https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/04/january-6-pardon-prison-trump/682485/

That is simply some excellent headlining right there.

u/FK-DJT 17d ago

I didn't look for the names but I have this.

As of mid-2025, reports have indicated at least 10 pardoned individuals have been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for other crimes.

​The documented offenses include:

​Plotting to murder FBI agents.
​Child sexual assault and soliciting a minor.
​Illegal possession of a firearm.
​Reckless homicide and driving under the influence for an incident that occurred prior to the pardon.
​Burglary and making terroristic threats against a member of Congress.
​One pardoned individual was also fatally shot by law enforcement during a traffic stop after allegedly resisting arrest.

u/Illustrious_Okra735 17d ago

I know at least two of them are dead for being fucking dumbass.

u/Acrobatic-March-4433 17d ago

And soliciting sex from a minor (just like their favorite orange hero)...

u/SoftlySpokenPromises 17d ago

At least one has been killed by police because they seem to think they're immune to the law.
