Former President Donald Trump was recently asked if he would pardon the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who are sitting in prison due to his lies about the 2020 Election. It was quite surprising that he walked away.

It has been noted that a far-right extremist group leader was sentenced on Friday to more than five years in prison for repeatedly assaulting police officers with makeshift weapons during a mob’s attack on the U.S. Capitol over three years ago.
Scott Miller helped lead a Proud Boys chapter for Maryland and Washington, D.C., and coordinated with other group members before they invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to federal prosecutors. Miller, 33, attacked police seven different times with weapons, including a bottle, a stick and poles.
It has come to light that the notes found on Miller’s cellphone indicate that his white supremacist ideology and antisemitic views influenced his decision to storm the Capitol, a prosecutor wrote in a court filing. He had expressed his intent to “fight” to protect “White America,” the filing says.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is overseeing former President Donald Trump’s election interference case in Washington, said an attack like the Jan. 6 insurrection “can happen again” in the U.S.
“Extremism is alive and well in this country,” she said before sentencing Miller to five years and six months behind bars.
Miller apologized for assaulting police at the Capitol. He acknowledged that he embraced extremist ideologies before the Capitol riot, but told the judge that he is “reforming” himself.
“I am not a violent or hateful person despite some of the things you’ve seen,” he told Chutkan.
