Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, if we are going to talk about jail and we are going to talk about who might be pardoned, then I am proud that President Trump seems to be on the verge of pardoning a large number of American citizens who have been put in jail at the hands of a weaponized Department of Justice against American citizens simply carrying out their First Amendment rights to speak out in defense of life. For example, Lauren Handy, 31 years old--by the way, an active, progressive activist for human rights--was put in jail for 57 months. I am glad that it seems that President Trump is on the verge of pardoning Lauren Handy. Even though I disagree with her on a whole lot of issues, I was proud to sit with her and meet with her when she was being targeted for prosecution by the weaponized Department of Justice under Joe Biden to be put in jail because she is pro-life. I think great things are going to happen. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1445
