  Former federal prosecutor Brendan Ballou joins Nicolle Wallace to discuss the pardons for January 6th rioters and organizers like Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes who have been met with a warm welcome from some Republicans.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the implications of former President Donald Trump's pardons, particularly focusing on the case of Joe Arpaio, the former Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. It explores how these pardons might encourage vigilante behavior by seemingly endorsing law enforcement officials who overstep legal boundaries. The piece highlights that Trump's decision to pardon Arpaio, who was convicted of criminal contempt for ignoring a court order to stop racial profiling, sends a message that could embolden others to act outside the law under the guise of law enforcement. Critics argue that such pardons undermine the rule of law and could lead to increased instances of racial profiling and vigilante justice, as they appear to condone actions taken in defiance of judicial directives. The article also touches on the broader political and social ramifications, suggesting that these actions reflect a troubling trend where executive clemency might be used to reward political loyalty rather than to correct judicial errors or show mercy.
