President Trump. pardoned six people who were imprisoned for “fixing their car.” WHAAAT? President Trump said it was a weaponization of the justice system and a display of stupidity. He wrote:
It is my Great Honor to have just signed Pardons for six people who were persecuted by the Biden Administration and were in or being sent to prison for “fixing their car.” While I know this sounds ridiculous, it is nevertheless a fact, and part of the Weaponization and Stupidity that our Country had to endure during four long years of Sleepy Joe Biden. I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP
He didn’t provide further information, but the Biden administration routinely overcharged some crimes and ignored serious ones. They were politically motivated. J6 was a prime example. Some merely trespassed and were sent to prison while violent Antifa and BLM had free passed over and over.
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump announced he has pardoned SIX PEOPLE who were sent to prison by the Biden administration for “fixing their car”
The Biden regime was MILITANT about punishing people for doing their own repairs, weaponizing the EPA and DOJ against them.

The White House did not immediately provide a list of the six defendants pardoned. Earlier on Friday, CBS News was the first to report that Mr. Trump planned to pardon defendants who were prosecuted for tampering with air pollution control equipment in vehicles, in violation of the Clean Air Act.
The pardons come after Mr. Trump last fall granted clemency to Troy Lake, a Wyoming mechanic who served seven months in prison for violating federal emissions laws for disabling air pollution-control equipment on diesel engines.
Earlier this year, the Justice Department ordered prosecutors to drop all pending prosecutions and investigations related to so-called aftermarket defeat devices, which are used to disable emission controls.
