FEDS Seek LIFE For DANGEROUS J6 Convict Pardoned by Trump
FEDS Seek LIFE Behind Bars For DANGEROUS J6 Rioter Pardoned by Trump
The Tennessee man was convicted of conspiring to murder FBI agents and other officials. He claims his pardon for his crimes on Jan. 6, 2021, should also apply to that conviction.
MSRAW 20 JUN 2025
Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence a Jan. 6 rioter to a lifetime behind bars despite Donald Trump pardoning his crimes at the U.S. Capitol.
Edward Kelley was wearing a helmet, gloves, and a paint respirator when he entered the U.S. Capitol. Department of Justice
Edward Kelley, a 35 year old East Tennessee native, was convicted in November of conspiring to murder FBI agents and other officials who investigated his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
Kelley was separately convicted of throwing a Capitol cop to the ground, with the help of others, and smashing a window with a piece of wood. However, those charges were wiped away by the presidents sweeping pardon of so called Jan. 6ers in January.
Kelley has contested that Trumps pardon of his Capitol crimes should also apply to his conviction for plotting to kill FBI agents and local law enforcement in Tennessee.
The Department of Justice disagrees. In a sentencing memorandum filed Tuesday, and first reported by Politico, they asked a judge to send Kelley to prison for the rest of his life.
Kelley created a list of specific people he intended to assassinate, including agents, officers, and employees of the FBI, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Tennessee Highway Patrol, Maryville Police Department, Blount County Sheriffs Office, and Clinton Police Department, the memorandum read.
To effectuate his plan, Kelley sought the assistance of others to identify his victims pattern of life and to murder them at their offices, homes, and in public places.
Part of his alleged plan was to attack his local FBI office in Knoxville by using improvised explosive devices attached to vehicles and drones
Kelley is remorseless and has shown neither a capacity nor desire to rehabilitate, prosecutors wrote. On the contrary, Kelley not only believes the actions for which he was convicted were justified but that his duty as a self styled patriot compelled him to target East Tennessee law enforcement for assassination.
Kelleys sentencing is scheduled for 2 July
