Oath Keepers and Proud Boys -- permanent dismissal of their indictments before Appellate court

Justice Department asks appeals court to erase seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders

The Justice Department on April 14 asked a federal appeals court to vacate the seditious conspiracy convictions of top Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders, a move that would wipe some of the most consequential January 6 criminal verdicts from the books and bar prosecutors from ever refiling the same charges.

Prosecutors filed unopposed motions with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit seeking to throw out the convictions and send the cases back to the trial court for dismissal with prejudice.

That legal term means the government could never bring those specific charges again against the same defendants. The filings cover a roster of high-profile January 6 figures, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, Jessica Watkins, and Proud Boys members Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola.

The step goes well beyond the commutations and pardons President Trump issued to January 6 defendants in January 2025. Commutations shortened sentences but left the underlying convictions intact. Pardons forgave the offenses but did not necessarily erase the court record.

What the DOJ now seeks is a full vacatur of the jury verdicts themselves, followed by permanent dismissal of the indictments.

Not an Insurrection--a Set-Up

We should never forget Jan 6

The jailing of January 6th defendants was the first time in American history where the federal government made Americans into political prisoners en masse.

THAT is what dictators do to citizens who say or do the “wrong” political thing. I know. I lived in Taiwan when it was still a dictatorship, said Diane Gruber, author of article below..

Starting the minute Demented Biden was sworn in, DC’s Deep State was turned against the American people. This persecution continued the entire four years of our first non-elected puppet president.

According to former Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), the Obama minions who made virtually all presidential decisions were “batshit” crazy.

On January 20, 2025, during the first day of his second term, United States president Donald Trump granted blanket clemency to all people, nearly 1,600, convicted of or awaiting trial or sentencing for offenses related to the January 6 United States Capitol attack that occurred near the end of his first presidential term. Most of them received full pardons, while the sentences of 14 members of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys were commuted. [Wikipedia]

J6 crowd was infiltrated by FBI and ATF who set up innocent people

Jeremy Brown, Former Green Beret and the recipient of two Bronze Stars

At Least 20 FBI & ATF Agents POSED AS ‘PROTESTERS’ Jan 6th At The Capitol!

The FBI was busy trying to recruit members of the Oath Keepers for the January 6th protest at the Capitol. One of the ones they tried to recruit was Jeremy Brown but he turned the FBI down.

Months after J6 in September, the FBI sent 20 vehicles to arrest Brown for trespassing in an imaginary no-go zone outside the Capitol. He has been in jail now for almost a year because he turned the FBI down. He got a 7 year sentence.

According to an earlier report:

The FBI called Jeremy’s cellphone and asked for a meeting after trying to contact him at his house. Jeremy then met with the FBI agents at a restaurant in Ybor City in December. He told Brandon Gray that 38 seconds into the interview the FBI attempted to recruit him to spy on the Oath Keepers. And, he recorded the conversation.

Now, remember, Ray Epps was an Oath Keeper. It has now been confirmed that the FBI and the ATF had at least 20 assets embedded in the crowd, Was that including Epps? The Capitol police had at least another three. One of the first people inside the Capitol was an asset. That does not surprise me. He may have even led the way for others. That would not surprise me either.

FBI involvment in January 6 was deep

GOP Rep. Higgins Claims Over 200 FBI Agents Were Involved On January 6

Representative Clay Higgins (R-LA) believes there may have been “over 200” undercover FBI agents posing as supporters of Donald Trump inside the Capitol before the riot on January 6th, 2021.

Higgins, who serves on the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security, made the startling claim in an interview with Newsmax on Wednesday.

“The FBI was not only involved in the actions on January 6 from within, they had, I suspect, over 200 agents embedded within the crowd, including agents or as they would call, human assets inside the Capitol dressed as Trump supporters before the doors were opened,” he asserted.

The New York Times reported that the FBI had as many as eight informants embedded with the “Proud Boys” group in the months leading up to the Capitol riot.

This comes along with another report that the FBI had a well-placed informant within the Oath Keepers.

“When you track the text threads and the communications within those groups and find the origins of suggestions of potential violence or an active occupation of the Capitol on January 6, you’ll find that those messages were led by members of the groups that ended up to be the FBI agents that had infiltrated the group,” Higgins claimed.

Oath Keepers in the employ of our government?

Hundreds of Oath Keepers Have Worked for DHS in Recent Years, Report Finds

Hundreds of Oath Keepers said they are or were employed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a report published Monday found—a revelation that comes about two weeks after two leaders of the far-right militia were convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with the January 6 insurrection.

In a joint investigation with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) found that more than 300 people on a leaked Oath Keepers membership list described themselves as current or former employees of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies including the Border Patrol, Coast Guard, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Secret Service.
