Hoping to expunge their records altogether, the members of the two groups challenged their convictions in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and were facing a fast-approaching deadline to file court papers presenting arguments about why the government had overreached in charging them with crimes like seditious conspiracy.

By asking the appeals court to toss out their guilty verdicts, the Justice Department avoided the awkward situation of having to defend the convictions. Such a move would likely have required administration officials to assert that the far-right groups were acting on behalf of Mr. Trump on Jan. 6.

At the end of the Proud Boys’ seditious conspiracy trial, prosecutors argued that members of the group were acting as “Donald Trump’s army” on Jan. 6, using violent force in a plot to keep Mr. Trump in office after he lost the 2020 election.

In similar fashion, prosecutors argued that Mr. Rhodes and his subordinates attacked the Capitol that day “to stop the lawful transfer of power” from Mr. Trump to his successor, Joseph R. Biden Jr.

The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers defendants, bolstered by their supporters, have long complained that they alone, among the hundreds of rioters charged in connection with Jan. 6, did not receive Mr. Trump’s full mercy. The president has never explained his decision to free them from prison but not issue them pardons, though it has often been surmised that the political costs of granting total clemency to far-right extremists found guilty of sedition were simply too steep to bear.

Nicholas Smith, a lawyer for Ethan Nordean, one of the convicted Proud Boys, hailed the decision by prosecutors to ask for the dismissal of the convictions.

“We’re grateful to the D.O.J. for correctly assessing that seditious conspiracy was misused in this case,” Mr. Smith said. “Hundreds of years of precedent distinguish between riots and crimes that are akin to treason.”

It’s not treason! It’s just a riot to overturn a fair election!

One man’s riot is another man’s coup

What attack? Do they mean the walk through?

>>1506373
shitty bait

>>1506349
They're trying to not even call it a riot now too.
At the very least, if we manage to survive the trump regime and get judicial reform, they can all be tried for treason next go around.
Don't think there's a statue of limitation on betraying the country by staging a coup.

It was mostly peaceful though.

Just like trump posting he was the anti-christ?

Wow you really are cooked huh.
Have fun in the thread anon.

I still remember the peaceful mob peacefully beating a police officer to death because he wouldn't let them into the captial

>>1506398
Jokes are supposed to be funny anon.

>>1506341
Just like it wasn't treason, it was just a riot to kill the president on May 30th 2020.

>>1506427
Never happened

>>1506427
Odd that you would have a memory of somethg that didn't happen. Although perhaps it isn't too weird to remember fiction that you've heard on television.

>>1506337
good good, leftists are going to seethe and snyways so I hope this makes them suffer.
Given antifa is allowed to act like actual terrorists its very hypocritical to charge other people for copying them.
inb4 muh antifa is just a ideology nonsense.

>>1506427
mentally ill leftist inventing memories, so why are you eligible to vote when you're clearly too deranged to even properly recall events properly. They should really start taking away voting rights from the criminally insane leftists

>>1506429
migger what?

>>1506448
It's hilarious how you talking about inventing memories when you invented terrorists called antifa in >>1506447

>>1506464
ESL shills don't like it when you remind them that their angry mob beat a police officer to death on Jan 6th.
They try to pretend they didn't murder him, pretending he would have died of his injuries even if he wasn't savagely beaten.

>>1506463
>May 30th 2020
>BLM/Antifa rioters try to break down barriers and storm the white house

>burn up an entire building
>set fire to part of a church nearby, but that gets put out
>over 60+ secret service injured
>situation was so bad SS moved Trump + family to a secure bunker - which the left, including Biden, mocked him for
>because the left did this, nobody called it an insurrection
>because the left did this, only one person was charged with a crime - a lousy destruction of government property charge
>because the left did this, nobody even knows what May 30th was
It never ceases to amaze me how nobody in Jan 6th set a single fire, and wasn't a tenth as violent as your average 'fiery but peaceful' protest, yet it was somehow worse than everything the left did in 2020 - and got the hammer dropped on them by the FBI, unlike the left that could commit actual sedition and not one of them got hit with a seditious conspiracy charge.

>>1506478
>ESL shills don't like it when you remind them that their angry mob beat a police officer to death on Jan 6th.
You mean the guy who died from natural causes after Jan 6th, according to the top medical investigator in D.C.?

>>1506479
>noooooo he died of natural causes while in a coma from the savage beating MAGA gave him
eternal cope

>>1506480
Do you know more than the Chief Medical Examiner of the District of Columbia?

>>noooooo he died of natural causes while in a coma

>>1506483
Yeah, going into a coma and dying is a natural cause of being beaten by a violent retarded mob

Why are you so triggered that MAGA beat a police officer to death? Just own it.

>>1506484

>>1506485

nope, never will be either

>>1506486
More police officers have died during Black Lives Matter demonstrations then died during January 6

>>1506479
Source on this "may 30th" event happening? where they injure 60 secret service agents?

Jan 6 had violence towards police:

you can hear a cop screaming because he's being crushed.

Natural causes. He would have been crushed even if Trumps violent mob didn't crush him.

>>1506492
Do you have that from a news site?

>>1506490
The original claim was that one of these officers were beaten to death.
>I still remember the peaceful mob peacefully beating a police officer to death because he wouldn't let them into the captial
Turns out that's bullshit. The only person to die at Jan 6th was Ashli Babbitt.

>>1506492
doesn't say anything about 60+ secret service personnel being injured
doesn't say anything about people chanting death threats to trump
Doesn't say protesters burnt the church.
Says more than 1 person was charged.

>>1506494
>we didn't beat the police officer to death
>we just beat him so savagely he died from his injuries later
MAGA beat a police officer to death.

>>1506495
Because its just cope over killing a cop

>>1506494
Ashli Babbitt got what she deserved for attemping a coup.

She wasn't the only one who died: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/4-people-died-as-supporters-of-president-donald-trump-violently-occupied-the-u-s-capitol

Right wingers are natural pussies, so of course they're pretending that this was on the level of Jan 6th despite the worst it got was 'tugging at police barriers'

So pathetic to watch the video of Renee good being shot through her passenger window by an ice agent who ignored all protocol and training that teaches day one rookies not to stand in front of a vehicle. Then panicking and shooting her in the face after he is clearly out of the path of the vehicle (shot through the passenger window, after he stood in the improper place. After he was reprimanded for being run over after a previous incident in which he did the exact same stupid thing) and then leaving the scene of the shooting. All the craziest inappropriate and illegal actions an officer can take.

And then comparing that to a capital police officer who was protecting barricaded politicians as Ashley Babbit crawled over the barricade and attempted to climb through a broken window to get at politicians despite being told to stand down and stop breaching the barricade over and over. This capital police officer did their job to the letter.

And you. Being such a fucking stupid cult member can’t see the difference.

lmao, getting BTFO so hard on the capital riot that you randomly bring up someone murdered by ICE as a distraction

Nope not even close. He shot her through her passenger window after he is out of the path of the vehicle he improperly stood in front of.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2026/01/08/ice-shooting-video-minneapolis/88070863007/

Clear as day he shoots through the passenger window to kill her.

>>1506514
Hate clear facts do ya?

>>1506516
>The first agent fires three shots, one at the front windshield

someone can shoot through the front of a car without being directing in its path.
Do you know what a diagonal line is?

>>1506523

Does it have anything to do with the police officer that MAGA violently beat to death on Jan 6th that you're trying to ignore?

>>1506524
Who was violently beaten to death on January 6th?
What is your source?

>>1506525
I already linked the breakdown. But you can just use your eyes and watch the video where again… he stands in front of a vehicle against procedure. Something he has been reprimanded for doing in the past then he moves out of the way of the vehicle and shoots through her passenger window… AFTER HE SHOOTS THROUGH HER FRONT WINDOW MISSING HER!!!!!!

You fucking clown. He clearly shoots through her front windshield in a panic. Then moves tithe so de of the vehicle. No longer in danger, that he out himself in by not following protocol, and shoots her in the head through her passenger window.

This officer did everything wrong and you are a fucking dumbass. Die mad and dumb

First shot through the front window grazed her right tit. Second shot hit her left shoulder through the passenger window after the officer was out of the path of the vehicle. Third shot in her head killed her. Way after he is to the side of the vehicle. Autopsy showed.

Clearly shows he grazed his first shot through her window at an angle. The autopsy also says she was shot through the passenger window with the second and third shot he fired. Every shot has to be justified. Every shot is analyzed.
