Well before Donald Trump’s long-awaited inauguration, he told us of his plans to pardon nonviolent January 6 prisoners who were victims of a weaponized justice department.
Yesterday, he kept that promise and pardoned 1,500 people.
However, it looks as if only two of those individuals have actually been released from D.C. prisons.
Glenn Beck spoke with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) about this apparent resistance to Trump’s orders.
According to Sen. Lee, it’s true.
Did DC prison officials only release TWO J6 prisoners after Trump pardoned 1500? @SenMikeLee tells me this appears to be TRUE: “From what we can tell, they haven’t complied with it yet. It’s yet another reason to revisit DC’s Home Rule, which I think should be repealed.” pic.twitter.com/y4XY1uzgjy

Glenn reads a recent tweet from Lee:
Is DC ignoring Trump’s pardons?
If this is, then it’s *definitely* time to repeal DC Home Rule
DC’s government has no right to exist constitutionally
Congress shouldn’t have delegated its lawmaking authority over DC
Time to take it back

“Tell me what this means,” he says.
“What this means is that Congress needs to do its job. We’ve had a problem for a long time with Congress delegating its lawmaking power to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats,” says Sen. Lee. “We’re supposed to be the lawmaker for the District of Columbia. … We’ve been delegating that power to the D.C. government for about a half century. The results have been disastrous.”
“Last night, from what we can tell, after Trump issued pardons for a number of prisoners involved with January 6, there were only two released last night,” he tells Glenn, adding that the D.C. jail officials actually “announced that they wouldn’t be releasing any more.”
Such an act of defiance is unacceptable, says Sen. Lee…
