But they haven't gotten any.
Allison GillHOST
And a federal judge in DC found it mystifying that Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes would make a last-ditch request for the appointment of a special master with trial just a couple weeks away.
Allison GillHOST
This is Judge Amit Mehta.
Allison GillHOST
He began pretrial conferences Wednesday after nine thirty AM by saying he hoped to address the motions filed in recent days by Rhodes and to talk about jury selection and courtroom space ahead of the September twenty-seventh seditious conspiracy trial.
Enrique TarrioGUEST
And what they were trying to do, they're like, OK, if we can get this guy that was not even there in another state, it would be very easy, very easy to get the president of the United States.
Don NeuenHOST
Well, that was the objective with both you guys and the Oath Keepers.
Don NeuenHOST
If you guys would have come out and said, and what I'm saying, the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking about the the tier one guys, the guys they really went after, the main Proud Boys trial, the Oath Keeper One trial, if you guys would have flipped and just said, Trump made us do it, what did they promise you?
Enrique TarrioGUEST
Well, they promised me, one, that the following week after I signed their paper that they would grant me bail.
Enrique TarrioGUEST
And then they promised me that I wouldn't serve a single day in a federal prison after that.
Don NeuenHOST
And they were serving sentences that were less than your 22 year sentence.
Don NeuenHOST
How did you even process
Enrique TarrioGUEST
that? Specifically with the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, they wanted to keep us in the maximum security facilities or as close to maximum security as you can.
Anderson CooperHOST
I mean, is there any way he can do this unilaterally?
Jamie RaskinGUEST
Well, you know, he said he was going to set up his $1.776 billion political slush fund just to give money away to Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and other people who did his political bidding on January 6th, 2021.
Jamie RaskinGUEST
It's basically the same idea that he can either just take money out of the federal treasury, which constitutionally he may not do, or he's going to take money that was appropriated by Congress for one purpose and use it for a completely different purpose.
Jamie RaskinGUEST
And we believe he cannot do that.
BrittanyHOST
If Trump gets his way, women who have changed their name as a result of marriage or divorce may have an uphill battle to be allowed to register unless they bring along with them original birth certificates, marriage licenses, and the like.
BrittanyHOST
Trump has threatened to have ICE agents, the military, militias such as the Oath Keepers, and law enforcement present at certain polling places to intimidate minority citizens trying to exercise their legal right to vote.
BrittanyHOST
A backup plan is to seize ballot boxes to prevent bipartisan counting of the ballots.
BrittanyHOST
He's curtailed voting by mail as corrupt, even though he himself often votes by mail, and election experts consider mail-in votes to be secure.
Sai Krishna PrakashGUEST
So he pardoned them all through this blanket amnesty on January 20th, the first day of his presidency.
David FreudbergHOST
Among those granted clemency by Trump were Stuart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, who had originally been sentenced to 18 years in prison, and Enrique Tarrio, former national leader of the Proud Boys, sentenced to 22 years.
David FreudbergHOST
They had both been convicted of seditious conspiracy against the United States.
Sai Krishna PrakashGUEST
I thought it was a mistake.
Cody JohnstonHOST
On the first day of his second term, Trump pardoned every single person convicted for their role in the attack on the Capitol.
Cody JohnstonHOST
Even the members of the far-right militia groups, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, who were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Cody JohnstonHOST
Even the people who violently assaulted police officer Michael Fanone, who suffered a heart attack and brain damage after being clubbed and tased.
Cody JohnstonHOST
And those who pepper sprayed officer Brian Sicknick, who suffered two strokes and collapsed later that night and died the following day.
Jamie RaskinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You got to check out the report we put out, Jack, last week from the House Judiciary Democrats called Pardons Inc. about the cash for clemency operation.
Jamie RaskinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's not just the more than 1,500 Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, other fanatical extremists who attacked our police officers and hospitalized them and drove many of them out of police work because of their disabilities.
Jamie RaskinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's not just them.
Jamie RaskinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He then went on to engage in another money-making capitalist operation, putting up for sale pardons.

John Carlos FreyHOST
In their account, it was preparation, a laying of groundwork for a scenario in which organized groups, potentially including people connected to the Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers, white supremacists, to be positioned to create disorder around this fall's elections, with blame for what they planned would be a form of disorder or chaos, and pin it on the political left.
John Carlos FreyHOST
blame the Democrats, point a finger at Antifa rather than on whoever actually caused it.
John Carlos FreyHOST
The events leading up to the election, vacating convictions, creating a fund for January 6th rioters, placing election deniers in strategic swing states, gutting cybersecurity, all to lead up to a devious plan to affect the midterm elections in a way that would allow the Trump administration to declare some form of martial law.
John Carlos FreyHOST
Most of the individuals got full pardons, wiped clean, as if it never happened.
John Carlos FreyHOST
But 14 people didn't get that.
John Carlos FreyHOST
14 people, including Stuart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers, and Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, got something narrower, a commutation.

Their sentences were cut to time served.

done anything,
Dexter IngramGUEST
right? So when I would work on these issues with the FBI, You know, most people might think the FBI has just these active files on the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, right? Well, there is an understanding of who they are, but the people that are part of them or that used to be a part of them,
Wajeeh LionHOST
