Adam Schiff was offered a friendly media platform earlier this week to hypocritically complain about pardons issued by President Donald Trump to Americans convicted of petty crimes related to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.<\/p>\n<p>After years of the Biden Justice Department going after and convicting more than 1,500 people \u2014 including older retired grandparents \u2014 of misdemeanor activities not related to the riot, Trump pledged during his campaign that he would grant pardons to most defendants.<\/p>\n<p>And while now-former President Joe Biden issued sweeping pre-emptive pardons to his family, members of the Nancy Pelosi-picked Jan. 6 Committee, a former joint chiefs chairman, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, those outrages paled in comparison to Trump\u2019s pardoning of grandmothers and trespassers, according to Schiff, who appeared on former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki\u2019s MSNBC program on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere \u2014 there is so much I \u2014 I want to get to you \u2014 with \u2014 get to with you, Sen. Schiff,\u201d Psaki began during a segment. \u201cI just have to start, I mean, the \u2014 in the last hour, Donald Trump was in the Oval Office, which I see as a choice, and just pardoned 1,500 people convicted for the attack on our Capitol. You did so much important work on the January 6th Committee. You have never held back in talking about the impact of this on our country. What \u2014 what is going through your head right now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s obscene. It\u2019s a grotesque display of his new power as president to pardon these 15 or 1,600 people, which I have to imagine includes people that committed violent assaults on law enforcement,\u201d Schiff \u2014 who pushed false conspiracies involving Trump and alleged \u2018Russian collusion\u2019 for years \u2014 began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt certainly includes, apparently, one of the leaders of the Proud Boys, rather fitting, sadly, that among his very first acts in office is to give a pardon to a white nationalist leader like that. So hard to imagine that we were sitting in the Capitol, the site of that attack, and hours later, the man who incited that attack pardons the people who participated in that attack. It really is a terrible way to begin, but not a surprising way to begin the new administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/share.grabien.com\/share.php?id=2765588&amp;userid=17447&amp;loginid=15879&amp;playercolor=%23ee1a3b&amp;playersize=640&amp;code=124868ad1707e812c01150cc1369be7b\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-8=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-26=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Despite Democrats\u2019 continued insistence that Trump \u201cincited an insurrection,\u201d the fact of the matter is, the day of the riot, he gave a speech asking supporters to \u201cpeacefully\u201d protest what they viewed as shady election results based on reports at the time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">\n<div class=\"AV64be217c20b16ec49b03ccb4\">\n<div id=\"aniBox\">\n<div id=\"aniplayer_AV64be217c20b16ec49b03ccb4-1739646592234\">\n<div id=\"aniplayer_AV64be217c20b16ec49b03ccb4-1739646592234Wrapper\" class=\"avp-floating-container avp-move-left-enter-done\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"avp-body\">\n<div class=\"avp-main\">\n<div id=\"aniplayer_AV64be217c20b16ec49b03ccb4-1739646592234Container\" class=\"avp-source\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"avp-top\">\n<div class=\"avp-top-left\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"avp-top-center\">\n<div class=\"avp-heading\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"avp-top-right\">\n<p>Also, while some who were arrested were convicted of \u201cseditious conspiracy,\u201d there is zero evidence that what occurred that day at the capital was an \u201cinsurrection\u201d rather than a riot much like those that occurred near the White House in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Biden\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/conservativebrief.com\/dem-anew-87992\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mass pardons<\/a>\u00a0on his way out the door actually did draw some pushback from Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance on CBS\u2019 Face the Nation in December, Sen.
