J6 Political Prisoner Zachary Rehl Faces To 10 to 12 Years In Prison For Walking In US Capitol For A Few Minutes, Stripped Of Honorable Military Service
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 3, 2023 | Alicia Powe

Zachary Rehl, a J6 political prisoner and former Proud Boys leader who was found guilty of seditious conspiracy, vows to fight for his innocence until he is “fully exonerated and so no one has to live in fear of persecution for exercising their 1st Amendment rights again.”

The 37-year-old Marine Corps veteran was apprehended by the Federal Bureau of Investigations on April 17, 2021, for “his role in the Capitol riot.” His wife was six months pregnant when the bureau’s stormtroopers terrorized their home in a pre-dawn raid, shock and trauma reaped by the bureau that nearly resulted in the loss of their unborn baby.

On January 6, Rehl committed no violent crimes.

Rehl and his co-defendants, two-time purple heart recipient Stf. Sgt. Joseph Biggs and Washington Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean merely walked into the Capitol building for approximately 20 minutes after choking on clouds of tear gas and dodging the rubber bullets police and flash grenades police indiscriminately fired at the crowd of unarmed protesters.

....snip....

Trespassing on federal property, within the Capitol building or grounds, is typically considered a misdemeanor offense punishable by six months in prison in addition to a fine up to $1000, under D.C. Code §22-3571.01. But the rule of law is now being arbitrarily administered by the Biden Justice Department; misdemeanors trespassing has suddenly become a felony and “seditious conspiracy,” a law enacted after the Civil War to arrest slave-holding Confederate Democrats who attempted to keep fighting the U.S. government.

Scores of demonstrators who walked into the building on January 6 are charged with 1512, obstruction of an official proceeding, punishable by a 20-year prison sentence. Many unwittingly broke the law while being waved into the building by police officers.

I haven't heard this story. The FBI stormed his house unannounced causing his pregnant wife to lose their unborn baby. I'm thinking before this is over, Smith will hit Trump with a 'Seditious Conspiracy' charge.

We saw Ray Epps inside the Capitol. No charges.

To charge Trump with “seditious conspiracy,” Smith would also have to charge at least one other person with it, too.

excerpt:

President Donald Trump’s indictment and looming arrest “is going to open a lot of eyes” to the torturous and unconstitutional abuses the Justice Department is leveling against J6 political prisoners, Rehl told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview.

"...nearly resulted in the loss of their unborn baby."

Not quite as bad, but still horrific. There needs to be some heads rolling over this unlawful imprisonment and overreaching prosecution.

The People have a God given right to peaceably assemble. That’s what they did on January 6. Evil politicians and their henchpersons claimed that their assembly was a riot and an insurrection, though it was neither, for their own nefarious and evil purposes. Only a fool would allow himself to be influenced by their evil claims, but unfortunately there are many fools among the people.

Jackov Smith is going to drop MORE charges, to include "seditious conspiracy' against Trump ONE DAY AFTER ANOTHER SHOE DROPS ON THE JOE BRIBEN CRIME FAMILY.

Mark it.

When the SHTF, the D.C. prison will become a modern day storming of the Bastille. And yes, heads are going to roll.....literally.

Who are the “FBI agents”? I bet criminals that were let out of jail early....this is reminiscent of circa 1974 USSR...

.
The other J6 didn’t get notice months before they were being indicted as Epps claims.

Something wrong there.

Don’t trust what Epps says.

So, Joe is compromised by a Foreign Country - extortion, bribery, fraud, money laundering — but nothing.

Don’t go ballistic on me, I just want to know...but why didn’t he pardon the political prisoners taken on J while he was still in office?

"Scores of demonstrators who walked into the building on January 6 are charged with 1512, obstruction of an official proceeding, punishable by a 20-year prison sentence. Many unwittingly broke the law while being waved into the building by police officers."

1. How could he have obstructed an official proceeding when the Senate had been evacuated before he even went in the building? Did he even enter the already empty Senate chamber?

2. The fact that police allowed hundreds of people to enter the building who were later charged with trespassing and "parading" is utterly unfair and one of the most suspicious aspects of that day. When police allow you to enter an area you assume that you are doing nothing wrong.

All these authors that say “he was stripped of honorable military service” expos3e their ignorance.

What he will be stripped of is his VA benefits for the duration of his incarceration.

We are looking at expat options.

And making preparations to move in a year or two.

While we still can.

I honestly wish I believed this country will heal.
Biden is the tyrant, freepers and liberals are all busy being worked up about Putin while their own country is on the verge of collapse.

We have considered it in the past but this thing with Trump is just blatant banana republic behavior.
People I know here in Michigan are being persecuted for being conservative.

We don’t intend to wait for that knock on the door.

"Don’t go ballistic on me, I just want to know...but why didn’t he pardon the political prisoners taken on J while he was still in office?"

Trump was only in office for two weeks after J6, and the vast majority of people were not arrested until he was out of office, and none had gone to trial or been convicted of anything while he was still in office.

The communist beast that has been prowling the country for two years is sharpening its fangs on these J6-ers.

Next it will be the rest of us.
