Federal judge orders release of Jan. 6 defendant while condemning DOJ for ‘fact-free approach’

Blaze:

judge has ordered that Jan. 6 defendant Kevin Seefried be released from prison pending the appeal of his conviction.

Last year, Seefried was sentenced to serve three years in federal prison for his role in Jan. 6 after being found guilty on five criminal charges, one felony and four misdemeanors.

Then, last December, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Fischer v. United States, a case concerning the proper application of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c), a felony statute that federal prosecutors are using against Jan. 6 for “obstruction of an official proceeding.” If the Supreme Court rules the statute cannot be applied to Jan. 6 defendants, then Seefried and hundreds of others would have their felony convictions vacated, resulting in substantially lighter sentences. more

  1. “McFadden ordered Seefried released from prison one year to the date of his surrender, which was May 31, 2023. That means he will be released in two months.”

    …no immediate release means he’s giving his mouth to the law while giving the government plenty of time to invent some other excuse for keeping him in, or to simply have him shivved unless they can arrange an Epstein style “suicide” more conveniently…

  2. So the prosecutor, in his argument admitted that the likely outcome in the Fisher case would likely result in a sentence reduced to less than time served, and yet the asshole judge still wants this guy to sit in jail for two more months. WTF?

    Trump needs to win in November, if for no other reason than to give a full pardon to all the J6 political prisoners.
