Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Sentenced to Life in Plot to Assassinate Law Enforcement Officers Who Investigated Him

[Anonymous]

Will Trump pardon this “patriot” a second time? For some reason, it seems like so many of the “patriots” that Trump pardoned have quickly committed other crimes. Could it be that Trump attracts a criminal element as his supporters?

Edward Kelley had been convicted of plotting to kill the law enforcement officers who had investigated his case.

A Tennessee man pardoned by President Trump for taking part in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been sentenced to life in prison for hatching a separate plot to assassinate the law enforcement officers who investigated his role in the riot.

The life term imposed on the man, Edward Kelley, came during a hearing on Wednesday in Federal District Court in Knoxville, Tenn. Mr. Kelley was convicted at a trial there in November of charges that included conspiracy to murder federal employees and threatening federal agents.

I’m sure Trump would be happy to pardon him if he promises to apply to work for ICE.

I guess when you arrest someone for trespassing and lock them in a dungeon without trial for years, it’s going to make a few of them snap.

He wasn’t arrested for trespassing, he used a log to break a window at the Capitol. And he was never even in custody.

You mean kind of what we’re doing with undocumented migrants?

I love how MAGA became concerned about conditions in the DC jail when white people were in there.

Not just White people, but their White people.

Pardon him? He will probably present him with some made up Trump award, like the Golden Big Mac Comrade of the Year, and then give him an SES position.

A “log”?

Where’d he get that? Because I’m usually on the House side of the Hill at least once a week or more, at I’ve never seen a random log just laying somewhere.

A log, you say?


Fascinating.

Speaking of former Jan. 6 rioters, did you know that a former rioter has secured a position in the Trump administration?


Former January 6 defendant now advising justice department’s ‘weaponization working group’
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/02/january-6-rioter-justice-department-jared-l-wise

A former FBI agent who allegedly shouted “kill ’em!” at law enforcement officers during the January 6 insurrection is now advising a “weaponization working group” in the Trump justice department, a sign of the elevated role rioters are playing since they were granted clemency by the president.

Jared L Wise has been named an adviser or counselor to Ed Martin, the advocate for January 6ers who was previously acting as US attorney for Washington DC and is now leading the weaponization working group, the New York Times and ABC News reported on Tuesday. The contours of Wise’s role are not clear.

"Only the best People."

Did you notice that after Jan 6th all the Trump supporters stopped posting and flying "thin blue line" stuff?

I did. Republicans don't support the police, they support authoritarians.

Never in custody? Why did he need a pardon?
