   Nearly a thousand violent criminals have been convicted by judges and juries of their peers of rioting, assaulting law-enforcement officers, attacking federal buildings with firearms, and other felonies in connection with the January 6 insurrection.

   The Republican candidate for president says that they are “hostages” and that one of his first acts will be to set them all free.

   To me this seems like important news.

     This story should be leading the New York Times right now, and every other US newspaper. It’s not, because they think, well, Trump’s crazy, that’s not news.

     Reporters should be asking every Republican official tonight: Do you support Trump’s plan to free the thousand violent criminals who have been convicted in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol?
