A real estate agent who live-streamed from the attack on the US Capitol by pro-Trump rioters is pleading for a presidential pardon.

Jenna Ryan, of Carrollton, Texas, was arrested and charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority and “disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds”.

She told a reporter from CBS 11 that she could not discuss details of the case. Commenting on the events in Washington, she said that she was “basically following my president. I was following what we were called to do”.

“He asked us to fly there. He asked us to be there. So I was doing what he asked us to do,” she added.

Since this is a part of the impeachment then he has no pardon power over it... I am not sure there but it is possible...

On the other hand he doesn't give a shit about these people so they are pissing into the wind with that

if he asked you to jump off a bridge, would you?

BTW, other presidents have asked us to for many things-- how many have you done?

Buy she is a good German and good Nazi.

Let her go,... proceed to collect $200.00,.. and give her another free ride on a private jet.

We will call it even,... forget the federal charges.

"In his defense he maintained that he had not issued the order but had only passed it along to Colonel Almers from Field Marshal Kesselring, and that the execution of the OSS men was a lawful order. Dostler's plea of superior orders failed before the tribunal, which found that in ordering the mass execution he had acted on his own outside the Führer's orders."

Sad to see the army of trumpers that descendant upon the US Capitol to literally stop a US Constitutional requirement in confirming our next President. This is nothing but treason or sedition, call which if you want. It was a violent coup to take control by force. That can and it may lead to death sentences. She should be more worried about that, than what a loser may do. The loser is trying to save his own orange skin!
