dempsey wasn't done. he was thorough, he was vicious, he kept going, he stomped on officers' heads, he hit them repeatedly with metal and wooden polls. at one point he actually attacked another rioter who was trying to stop him. he was sentenced by a jury of his peers to significant jail time for his litany of brutal attacks as anyone in this country would. he walked out of jail last night in the middle of his sentence because donald trump pardoned him. that's d.j. rodriguez. he didn't make any bones about what he was coming to the capitol he was going to do. the night before the insurrection, he posted on the internet there will be blood. welcome to the revolution. for weeks he and his violent maga group proposed what they were going, told them where to buy bear spray and told them to ware goggles with breath holes. he was prepping for war. he began rather innocently, just spraying a fire extinguisher at a line of officers. when that didn't work, he found a long wooden poll to attack the officers. he was

his name is david dempsey. so that's another individual who is now on this pardon list.o a lot of other january 6th defendants didn't want didn't want pardoned. i remember speaking with nicole reffitt, the wife of guy reffitt, who was one of the who was the first writer who was convicted at trial. and she doesn't like that guy. she wishes that he didn't get pardoned. and that's something that i've heard from other people, is that he that there are people in here who they don't think deserved a pardon. they did not want these sweeping pardons. but, you know, to eugene's point earlier, what we had here is a huge difference, this gap between what we were told beforehand, which, you know, if you take history as a lesson, if you've covered the trump administration before, you know, this wasn't going to be the final answer contemporaneously. but what they were telling me back in the spring was that, yeah, we're going to look at these on a case by case basis. we're going to really look at those details. same thing during the transition. yeah. we're going to look at these in a c

did he mean david dempsey who prosecutors called political violence personified? who attacked officers with flagpoles, pepper spray, broken furniture and his hands and feet? did he mean daniel ball who hurled an explosive device with police officers trying to defend them it. or did he mean thomas webster, police officer who tackled a member the capitol police, tact and with a flag pole, and tried to remove his helmet and gas mask. maybe he meant daniel rodriguez who drove a stun gun into the neck of officer michael fanone. trump's of those people are political prisoners and hostages and patriots. when he returns to office and two weeks, he may pardon each and every one of them. that's the tip of the whitewashing. trump is stacking his cabinet with election deniers. one of the architects of the plot to steal the election was reelected speaker of the house. some lawmakers are bringing insurrectionists as guests to the inauguration, and it's hard to imagine any of that would be happening without trump, the leader of the republican party, the president elect embracing

people like david dempsey, who was serving 20 years for assaults on law enforcement with a deadly or dangerous weapon. here he is right here, using a flagpole and a police shield against the officers in a capitol tunnel. prosecutors argued he fought like that for more than an hour. also, peter schwartz, who was serving 14 years, he snatched an officer's pepper spray and repeatedly used it on them. here he is reaching through other rioters to do it. he also joined the larger mob that crushed officer daniel hodges in a capitol doorway. you see it right there. there's also daniel rodriguez, who got 12.5 years for assaulting police officers, including officer michael fanone, who suffered a heart attack after rodriguez tased him, something rodriguez bragged about to his friends, saying, quote, tagged, tased, tased. excuse me, the f out of the blue. joining us now, nbc news justice reporter ryan riley, also msnbc contributor paola ramos, who is in miami. all right. ryan, so there were these really violent ones. there were also the ones that were convicted on the most serious crimes, sediti

about january 6th, there's david dempsey, seen here in that same tunnel, aiming a can of bear repellent spray at police. he also used a crutch to smash an officer's head. prosecutors said he used, quote, his hands, feet, flagpoles, crutches, pepper spray, broken pieces of furniture and anything else he could get his hands on as weapons. a judge sentenced him to 20 years. the president could invite daniel rodriguez, who repeatedly shocked metro police officer michael fanone in the neck with a stun gun, part of the mob that beat and nearly killed him that day. hopefully, they would at least put him through a magnetometer if he visits the white house. we told you about rodriguez last night. he was doing 12.5 years, convicted of assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon. but we want to tell you more tonight about the ringleaders and the organizers, for whom january 6th was neither their first nor potentially their last time sowing political unrest and violence. here's stewart rhodes back before the 2020 election. >> we have been already stationed outside d.c. as a nuclear option

it means someone like david dempsey, who prosecutors called political violence personified, who attacked officers with flagpoles, crutches, pepper spray, broken furniture and his own hands and feet is free. so is daniel rodriguez, who drove a stun gun into the neck of officer michael fanone. so is christopher quaglin, who screamed at, pushed, punched, swatted, slapped and choked a police officers. and so is andrew tuckey, who assaulted officers with bear spray and a metal whip. now, in pardoning these people and hundreds more like them, trump sent a pretty clear message that there are no consequences, that if you commit a crime in his name, no matter how violent, it's not a crime that political violence is okay. and that's exactly the message some of the worst offenders seem to have received loud and clear. i mean, just listen to former proud boys leader proud boys leader enrique tarrio. >> we went through hell, and i'm going to tell you it was worth it, because what we stood for and what those guys stood for was what we've been fighting for and what we saw yesterday on the inauguration

david dempsey climbed over other writers to get officers where he stomped on at least one officers head, beat officers with a flag pole, a crutch and a broken piece of furniture sprayed officers faces with pepper spray. don't tell me that the motivation for immigration crackdown is public safety when we release these violent criminals back into our communities. mr. chairman, and you know i should teach immigration law. i well understand the need for reform. i do hope we will require executive actions to comply with existing law turn our attention to the necessary reforms here in the antes congress without a yield back. >> lisa rick is a chairman of the judiciary committee congressman jim jordan. class exactly through day one of the biden ministration they made three decisions there were no longer going to build the wall and when you get to our border you will not lead to paint detained to be release and guess what, everybody came in. it was delivered, it was intentional was premeditated. they did it to the country. i know some defect that is a chairman pointed out, think about it they s

colleague from arkansas if he supports pardoning the follow following of these individuals, david dempsey, convicted of assaulting police officers by using, quote, hands, feet, flagpoles, crutches, pepper spray, broken pieces of furniture and anything else he could get his hands on as a weapon. how about shane jenkins? trump pardon? convicted of using two axes to beat, break into the capitol, and assault police officers, by throwing furniture and a flagpole at them. kyle fitzsimmons, convicted of five separate assaults against law enforcement, including one that caused a career-ending, life-altering injury to u.s. capitol police act aquilino goodell. is he ready? kenneth bennowitz of the so-called proud boys, asalted at least -- assaulted at least six officers, placing one in a choke hold, lifting one by a neck. he lifted one so severely it forced him into retirement. i don't recall the senator from arkansas or his republican colleagues introducing similar resolutions to criticize any of president trump's pardons. i haven't heard any senate republicans urging president-elect trump not to
