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.

Yet rioters who burned cities to the ground got a heroes welcome by Kamala Harris and others who posted their bail and were able to sue cities for millions

For an election that had “zero fraud”, these Stasi-wannabes sure are worried about anyone asking questions, aren’t they?

"We saw Ray Epps inside the Capitol. No charges."

Wasn't Epps on video telling people to go in, and other things ?

Numerous vids of Ray Epps with a bull horn and whispering into other protesters ear giving orders trying to encourage protesters to storm the Capitol Bldg., who paid his transport and expenses for him and his other protesters to be there. Was he a point man for Pelosi. He told the J6 Committee under oath that he never entered the Bldg but there are vids of him walking around inside the Capitol. Is Pelosi covering for Epps and his other rioters?

(Who are the “FBI agents”?)

I’m sure since the raid took place in Philly it was some of Hannity’s cherished 99%er local agents.

I wonder what would happen if on every January 6th, hundreds of thousands of people peacefully arrived in the capitol and gathered around the congressional building, surrounding it, never entering? Don’t we have freedom to associate, assemble, and travel? Would a permit be needed?

You’re 💯% correct. Trump couldn’t have pardoned none of them arrested after January 20, inauguration day.

“nearly resulted in the loss of their unborn baby.” Thank goodness it looks like she didn’t lose their baby.

This is totally outrageous. I hope Trump wins and pardons all of these people.

They would have been arrested for being on the property, trespassing.

At what point does our military and retired military realize that our greatest enemy is not foreign, but domestic?

How can you retroactively be dishonorable?

Is this correct or just what is being propagated through stories?

So if you're not a politician, law enforcement agent or officer, federal bureaucrat, going to Washington DC could land you in prison for years if your politics is differing from the regime in control? They could arrest you for anything they choose to.

Looks like that's the idea I guess?

This is how tyrannies enforce compliance of the populace.

Trump could have preemptively pardoned all those involved in the January 6th protest. Instead, he abandoned his supporters.

I’m still waiting on all the unmanipulated videos to be released. Only seen a few.
