Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a progressive Democrat, is considering state charges against individuals from Pennsylvania who participated in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot and were subsequently pardoned by former President Donald Trump. While this faces significant legal hurdles, Krasner argues that state prosecution may be possible for conduct not fully covered by federal charges.
“Those of us who actually believe in the rule of law … in other words, those of us who are not MAGA — intend to preserve the values, traditions, laws and Constitution of the United States. And that means accountability for the co-conspirators of the 34-time felon president.”As he promised on the campaign trail, on Day One, President Donald Trump issued pardons to more than 1,500 individuals charged with crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
Presidential pardons do not cover state offenses, but there would be significant legal hurdles for any state prosecution to move forward.
His soft on crime mindset has made the city of Philadelphia a far more dangerous place since he was installed in January 2018.In a Tuesday post on X, @PhillyCrimeUpd informed his followers that Krasner dropped charges against “Philly rioters from the Riots of May- June 2020, October 2020, and August 2023.”
