Donald Trump actually said...

"Tonight, I'm going to be signing on the J6 hostages pardons to get them out. And as soon as I leave, I'm going to the oval office and we'll be signing pardons for a lot of people."

"I don't want to say when, but it's going to happen. Has to happen. Or we're not going to have a country left."

"What they've done to these people is outrageous. There's rarely been anything like it in history, in the history of our country."

"Well, we're going to try and get it done as quickly as possible."
