For what it’s worth, #ARREST TRUMP NOW is trending on Twitter this morning.

Donald Trump

"If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6th fairly," Trump said Saturday night during a rally in Conroe, Texas. "And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly." — CBS News

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

…rejected Trump’s comments as sending a wrong message that it’s OK to defile the Capitol. For the Jan. 6 offenders, “I hope they go to jail and get the book thrown at them because they deserve it.” — Face the Nation

@PaulaChertok

😅Trump admits *in writing* he wanted Pence to “overturn the election.” — Tweet

George Conway, a conservative lawyer

Joanna Lydgate, CEO at States United Democracy Center

All told, some 21 candidates who dispute Biden’s victory are running for secretary of state in 18 states. “It’s like putting arsonists in charge of the Fire Department.” — Boston Globe

Musa al-Gharbi
