On the bright morning of January 20th, a wave of anticipation swept across our great nation. Hundreds of imprisoned patriots, backed by the unwavering support of thousands of Americans, eagerly awaited President Trump’s promise to pardon the January 6th political prisoners.
While the day unfolded with some initial pessimism, particularly due to inclement weather, the steadfast belief in President Trump’s commitment remained strong. Though 14 January 6th defendants received only a commutation, which secured their release, it unfortunately didn’t restore their rights or erase their felony records.
In a bold move, Attorney Roger Roots has filed a groundbreaking motion for the dismissal of charges based on alleged government and prosecutorial misconduct against Proud Boy members Zachary Rehl, Dominic Pezzola, and Joseph Biggs. This significant motion, backed by Treniss Evans and Condemned USA, seeks justice for these men.

The motion recalls a recent per curiam order from the D.C. Court of Appeals to dismiss the case as moot, following President Trump’s pardon on January 20, 2025. Trump’s proclamation extended pardons to all January 6 defendants with closed cases and directed dismissals of ongoing cases:
I further direct the Attorney General to pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government of all pending indictments against individuals for their conduct related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Roots meticulously details the myriad instances of misconduct, including the withholding of exculpatory evidence, a direct violation of Brady v. Maryland. Key evidence, including 44,000 hours of video footage and software programs, was withheld, compromising the defendants’ right to a fair trial. Disturbingly, the government manipulated evidence with a document titled “1776 Returns/Winter Palace,” falsely attributed to the Proud Boys.
Reasons for Dismissal Include:
- False or Misleading Testimony
- Political Bias and Selective Prosecution
- Entrapment and Government Misconduct
- Outrageous Government Conduct
- Violation of Defendants’ Sixth Amendment Rights
- Jury Intimidation
Each of these reasons, individually, warrants dismissal. Yet, the merciless pursuit of over 1,500 cases has highlighted egregious violations of Constitutional and human rights, demanding urgent exposure and accountability.
Treniss Evans, founder of Condemned USA, did not mince words about the trial’s injustices. He stated, “The volume of injustices… would have enabled me to print them out and make life-sized paper mâché dolls of the judge and the prosecution team. American justice should be ashamed, and accountability is necessary.”
The Trump DOJ has until next Thursday to respond to this critical motion. The anticipation is palpable, but with Judge Kelly’s authority, only time will reveal the outcome. Stay tuned, patriots! For those moved to support this fight for justice, visit Condemned USA or click here.
