[FRIAM] Pardons

[Gary Schiltz]

>From claude.ai

Gary:
Can the pardoned January sixth insurrectionists now be sued in civil court?


Claude:
Yes, the January 6th participants who received presidential pardons can
still face civil lawsuits. A pardon only protects against federal criminal
prosecution - it doesn't shield someone from civil liability or state
criminal charges. Several civil lawsuits are already proceeding against
various January 6th participants

Gary:

Could they be tried in dc criminal court?


Claude:
Yes. A presidential pardon only applies to federal crimes, not state or
local criminal charges. DC criminal courts operate independently of the
federal system and could pursue charges.
