A pardon well deserved

Pardoned Capitol rioter arrested on charge that he threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries

the man, Christopher Moynihan, had said on Friday that "in a few days, he would kill Congressman Jeffries in New York City for 'the future,'" court records say.

Moynihan was previously sentenced to nearly two years in prison for his participation in the Capitol attack after being convicted of obstructing an official proceeding, disorderly conduct in a restricted area, and other, similar charges.

President Donald Trump pardoned Moynihan - along with others convicted of January 6 offenses - earlier this year.

In a statement Tuesday, Jeffries thanked law enforcement for apprehending Moynihan before criticizing Trump's "blanket pardon" of January 6 defendants.

"Threats of violence will not stop us from showing up, standing up and speaking up for the American people," Jeffries wrote.
