For nearly a year and a half, the list of Jan. 6 rioters who received pardons from Donald Trump only to run into fresh trouble with the law after receiving clemency has grown, reaching unsettling lengths.
Hoping to determine exactly how long the list is, Lawfare, a nonprofit legal issues publication, published a study last week that found at least 97 people who were charged with crimes in connection with the assault on the Capitol have since been accused of new crimes.
Jake Lang, however, stands out as a special case. The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday:
A far-right influencer who has repeatedly tried to inflame racial tensions around the Karmelo Anthony case was arrested Tuesday and accused of making terroristic threats.
Jake Lang was booked into the Dallas County jail and faces a charge of terroristic threat to place the public in fear of serious bodily injury, interrupting public services, or influencing a government, according to jail records. He was arrested by Texas Department of Public Safety officers, and bail is set at $1 million.
Lang was arrested after he allegedly threatened extrajudicial mob violence against a Black teenager.
If his name sounds at all familiar, it might be because Lang was also arrested last week and charged with criminal trespass outside a rally in Texas.
