So we finally have an overtune of one of the biggest injustice done to a couple of real true American Patriots. Right from the J/6 capitol Pardons by Trump we now have both Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, ex-Proud Boys boss Enrique Tarrio set free. As we know President Trump granted pardons to more than 1,500 defendants who faced charges in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol event. As both lawyers on both far-right leaders confirmed their release on Tuesday. Mr Tarrio was 16 months into a 22-year prison sentence on seditious conspiracy and other charges, while Rhodes was almost 20 months into an 18-year sentence for the same offense.
“They’ve already been in jail for a long time,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Monday evening about the clemency recipients. “These people have been destroyed.” Unlike many of the J/6 defendants, neither Tarrior or Rhodes were eve inside the Capitol Building during the event and were not even in DC! But they were charged with helping to plot out the attack. During the run-up to the riot, Rhodes and others had stockpiled tactical gear and firearms. He also stepped into restricted Capitol grounds while directing his Oath Keepers militia members as the chaos unfolded. “My only regret is that they should have brought rifles,” Rhodes said on an audio recording obtained by federal investigators. “We should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then and there. I’d hang f—ing [Nancy] Pelosi from the lamppost.” Something a lot of people in this country would actually cheer for.
Tarrio had led the Proud Boys, another right-wing group, from 2018 to 2021. He also worked as the Florida state director of Latinos for Trump. Prosecutors had accused Tarrio of playing a critical role in orchestrating the Proud Boys’ rampage at the Capitol, including by ordering “hand-selected members” of the group to attend the “Stop The Steal” Trump rally that preceded the event. Tarrio again was not in Washington, DC the day of the over hyped riot, but prosecutors highlighted text messages he he exchanged with members of the groups. During the Aftermath Tarrio stressed that he didn’t have sympathy for the members of Congress who were forced into hiding. He also said that he didn’t “support” or “condemn” the riot.
In addition to Monday’s clemency grants, Trump directed the Justice Department to ask for the dismissal of about 450 cases that are still being litigated... A Good start to finally ending this nightmare caused by Nancy Pelosi, the DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, the left radicals in congress, media and in Antifa & BLM.
