The promise has stirred speculation of which cases will be dismissed and which will continue under Trump, which Vance clarified on <em>Fox News Sunday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s very simple. Look, if you protested peacefully on January the sixth and you&rsquo;ve had Merrick Garland&rsquo;s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. If you committed violence on that day, obviously, you shouldn&rsquo;t be pardoned. There&rsquo;s a little bit of a gray area there, but we&rsquo;re very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. And there are a lot of people we think in the wake of January the sixth who were prosecuted unfairly. We need to rectify that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3220320\/greatest-comeback-trump-white-house-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>GREATEST COMEBACK?
