In this compelling clip, former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Larry Thompson shares his unfiltered thoughts on justice, accountability, and the consequences of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
🔹 "It's hard for me to think of anything that was more offensive to me than the attack on the Capitol. None of them need to be pardoned, quite frankly. I think there may be instances where clemency would be appropriate for some, but I don't think a pardon would be appropriate."
Where should the line be drawn between justice and mercy? Should some individuals receive clemency, or should full accountability take precedence?
Tune in now and join the conversation.
