Proud Boys sue DOJ for January 6 prosecutions - CNN



Members of the Proud Boys who were convicted by a jury on several counts related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack – each of whom were later pardoned or had their sentences commuted by President Donald Trump – are now suing the Justice Department for what they say was a "political prosecution."

The Proud Boys actions on January 6 were clear for everyone to see. The thought that they could profit off of false claims of malicious prosecution is a travesty and a pile of bullshit.

And how many now have committed additional crimes?! So now they think they were mistakenly convicted? They had trials and the evidence was there!

The better to arm them for the upcoming war against us. Watch Bondi immediately fold and settle this.
