The Justice Department on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to throw out the seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders who were sentenced to prison terms for leading members of the far-right extremist groups in attacking the U.S. Capitol to keep President Donald Trump in the White House over five years ago.
Trump commuted the prison sentences of several Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders last January in a sweeping act of clemency for all 1,500-plus defendants charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack.
The request by the Justice Department would go a step further and erase the convictions for the extremist group leaders, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes.

It would be good if they could be financially recompensed for their financial costs plus punitive damages. It was just one more plot by the Democrats activists against Trump supporters and those that knew about the stolen 2020 election.
The list of defendants include:
Oath Keepers Stewart Rhodes, Ken Harrelson, Kelly Meggs, Jessica Watkins, and Proud Boys Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola.
Good.
More than a few Died In Custody.
Very sad.
It’s about danged time!
Why has the administration been dragging its feet on this?
And the reporting has to say that they are extremist groups which is not actually proven.
“And the reporting has to say that they are extremist groups which is not actually proven.”
There is plenty of video of extreme violence from ANTIFA. Proud Boys and Oathkeepers? Not really anything other than media reporting on their alleged violent “extremism”.

The Biden administration considered the following types of people "extremists" or "domestic terroritsts":
elderly people who prayed outside of abortion clinics,practicing Catholics,

parents at a Virginia school board meeting whose daughter was raped by a boy in a dress...
