A ‘Very Slow Drip’ of Pardoned Jan. 6 Prisoners Leave DC Jail – EVOL

One woman rushed up and greeted a J6er she knew after he was released.

WASHINGTON—One day after President Donald J. Trump pardoned 1,500 Jan. 6 participants and commuted others’ sentences, not all those held at the D.C. Central Detention Facility had been released.

“It’s a very slow drip,” Chaplain Joshua Macias told The Epoch Times just after 7 p.m. on Jan. 21.

He was one of the supporters who had gathered to wait across the street from the D.C. jail, which local law enforcement were guarding. They held American flags and listened to music as they waited in the freezing weather.

At one point, a group of women gathered to do the Trump dance.

Proud Boy Tom Vournas was released a few minutes before 7 p.m. A woman, Stephanie Liu, rushed up to greet him. The New York resident said she had regularly interacted with him during his incarceration.

“He’s very spiritual,” she told The Epoch Times. “He told me, ‘I don’t blame anybody. I even don’t blame the person who report[ed] me.’”
