Hundreds of January 6th prosecutions that were underway

when President Trump issued mass partons his first day in office for all of those convicted,

can you believe it all these years later they were still tracking down and prosecuting people?

This week on full measure, I have a big story looking back at the whole controversy since day one,

and that includes following up with Trenas Evans.

Evans was there on January 6th, entered the building peacefully,

said nobody tried to keep him out or made it look like it was anything wrong. He was using a megaphone,

he has video of this, that shows he was urging people to be peaceful and don't do anything to the

law enforcement officers and have

respect and so on and he walked back out after a few minutes well when he heard after the events that

the FBI was arresting people he got an attorney they contacted the FBI i believe they even had a

sit-down meeting promised full cooperation should it should it be necessary, and so on.

So he was very surprised not long after when he was awakened in the early morning hours at his Texas home by a small army of armed SWAT team folks from the FBI, woke up the whole family, took his 13-year-old son out of the house at gunpoint, hands raised,

woke up his wife, took her out too, and then, of course, arrested him.
