Someone wrote that on day one Trump could release all J6 prisoners, commuting their sentences to time served. The pardon process is much slower, especially if Trump does it case by case.
On another point, I wish people would stop using “gifted” as a verb. Up until relatively recently, its only verb usage was in the context of receiving an attribute or power: e.g., “Tom had been gifted with extraordinary acumen.” In such a case the unnamed giver is God. “Gifted” was never used as a substitute for “gave.” People receive gifts; they are not “gifted” with them. So and so “gave me” that sweater, not so and so “gifted me with” that sweater. Gave means what it says: given freely, without payment. Why the ungrammatical and awkward locution of “gifted with” has taken over the way it has stymies me.

Moreso for love of country.
