The Biggest Players of Jan. 6 Walk Free Thanks To Trump
HuffPost
Members of the biggest far-right extreme groups are now out of prison.
It is a victorious day for the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
Some 14 members of the right-wing extremist groups who faced the most serious charge to emerge from the events of Jan. 6, 2021 — seditious conspiracy — including former Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes and former Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio — will now walk free because President Donald Trump commuted their sentences or pardoned them Monday.
Tarrio and Rhodes were released from prison Tuesday morning.
The commutations were part of a sweeping executive order the president signed hours after taking office, in which he also granted a full pardon to the more than 1,500 people who have been charged with crimes connected to the attack on the U.S. Capitol — including those convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers.
A pardon removes the record of a conviction, while a commutation reduces a person’s sentence but does not remove their conviction record. Individuals who saw their sentences commuted by Trump will not have all of their civil rights restored, including rights to own a firearm or vote.
