First Felon Donald Trump: Hot air hardliner, soft on crime

 
HeadlinePolitico, 2/33/2025
A Jan. 6 defendant whose felony assault charges were dismissed a day earlier was arrested Wednesday on federal gun charges that have been pending for nearly two years in Florida. 
Daniel Ball, one of the hundreds charged with violence on Jan. 6, 2021, aimed at police, was among the members of the mob whose charges were dismissed at the behest of President Donald Trump. Trump on Monday pardoned more than 1,000 people who stormed the Capitol that day and ordered the Justice Department to drop hundreds of pending cases. 
Ball was being held in pretrial detention in Washington, D.C., because of what a magistrate judge described as “some of the most violent and serious offenses of any of the charges being brought against participants in the January 6 events.”  [emphasis added]

And all some of the White House press corps want to do is schmooz.
