Capitol rioter who was pardoned by Trump gets a life sentence for molesting 2 children in Florida

Trump is a cancer.

A Florida handyman who was sentenced on Thursday to life in prison for molesting two children had been convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but was pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Andrew Paul Johnson, 45, is among several Jan. 6 defendants who have been charged with new crimes since Trump’s sweeping act of clemency for Capitol rioters. On his first day back in the White House last year, Trump pardoned, commuted prison sentences or ordered the dismissal of cases for all 1,500-plus people charged in the attack.

Johnson was convicted last month of two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation of a child and one count of electronically transmitting material harmful to a minor, according to prosecutors in Hernando County, Florida. County Circuit Judge Judge Stephen Toner handed down Johnson’s life sentence.

I'm betting that when this guy was 40 and they were investigating him for Jan 6 that he was already into this. Rarely does someone jump into this at a life sentence level of activity starting at age 45.
If you are trying to flip people up the food chain as federalist society Garland said, this sort of info would seem to be strong leverage

Shouldn't they have gone through computers and phones of all these criminals looking for ties to other Jan 6 crimes and found this
