โ€œWell, you know, I've had pardon authority. I've been a governor. It's something that I always took very seriously and only used on a limited basis.

 

I always thought that it's important that there be contrition for people that are applying for a pardon. You know, for people that were caught up in that moment and did no violence but found themselves swept into the Capitol, I can appreciate the sensitivity to those people, and I'm sure there were many. But for the more than 400 individuals, many of whom pled guilty to assaulting police officers, I would hope the president would think better of that.

 

You know, the respect for law enforcement and to a lesser extent, just the respect for our seat of government in the United States Capitol is something we ought to reaffirm. And so I hope the president would not pardon anyone who engaged in violence against police officers or vandalized the US. Capitol.

 

But again, I would have a generous attitude toward people that may have been caught up in the moment but engaged in more violence that day.

 

What about the language that's been used about using the Justice Department or the FBIโ€
