Government Seeks 30 Years In Prison For J6 Political Prisoner Zachary Rehl For Walking Through Capitol Building For A Few Minutes
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 20, 2023 | Alicia Powe

J6 political prisoner Zachary Rehl is no longer able to afford a private attorney without assistance from the American people.

The government is seeking 30 years in federal prison for Rehl, the head of the Philadelphia chapter of the Proud Boys, for “his role in the Capitol riot.”

Rehl committed no violent crimes on January 6. He walked through the Capitol building on January 6 for merely a few minutes, took a selfie in the building then left the Capitol grounds.

Prosecutors argue the 37-year-old Marine Corps veteran and his allies, former Proud Boys chair Enrique Tarrio, 39, Joseph Biggs. 39, and Ethan Nordean, 33, aimed to foment a revolution on January 6 to keep former President Donald Trump in power in a “terror attack” that left a stain on American democracy.

The role that Rehl and Tarrio, Nordean, and Biggs played in “organizing” the Jan. 6, 2021, “attack” on the U.S. Capitol “threatened the bedrock principles of our country’ and warranted the significant punishment, government lawyers argued in a court filing late Thursday.”

“The defendants understood the stakes, and they embraced their role in bringing about a ‘revolution,” prosecutors wrote in a 155-page sentencing memo. “They unleashed a force on the Capitol that was calculated to exert their political will on elected officials by force and to undo the results of a democratic election. The foot soldiers of the right aimed to keep their leader in power. They failed. They are not heroes; They are criminals.”

Seriously the govt is insane.

If this actually were to foment a revolution, it was absolutely the WORST planned and executed one in the history of the world.

I mean even all the undercover govt agents urging it on did far, far more to foment it than any of the unwitting protestors.

Prosecuted for who he is and not what he did.
Disgusting. US law is now manipulated and enforced by a crime syndicate.
These government lawyers will rot in Hell.

Nazis have grabbed the reins in America. Fear is all they have. They are trying to get all Americans to fear them. Be afraid to speak up. Be afraid.

Who writes a 155 page book for a sentencing? What Judge would not be insulted?

“will the Court of Appeals provide any remedy???”

He has not been sentenced, this is only a recommendation by the prosecutor and prosecutors almost always recommend at or near the maximum of the sentencing guidelines.

No matter the sentence, Rehl will file an appeal.

“Seriously the govt is insane.”

It’s certainly out of balance. Lawyers have no business being in the legislature and the executive branch. They’re enough problem in the judiciary.

I know, some founding fathers were lawyers but we don’t have George Washington to keep their asses in line.

The Founding Fathers never saw government service as a lifelong career that kept paying you huge sums after you “retired”.
