During the campaign, Trump repeatedly stated that he would exercise presidential clemency for the J6 rioters on a case-by-case basis. Instead, on his first day in office, he let them all go. He told Hannity earlier this week that it would have been "cumbersome" to evaluate each rioter's case on its own merits. Trump said, "It would be very, very cumbersome to go and look. You know how many people we’re talking about? 1,500 people." Based on law of large numbers, Trump should expect to hear those words replayed.
