一名由特朗普任命的联邦法官周五不情愿地驳回了对四名骄傲男孩成员的国会山骚乱指控，称法律未授予他阻止司法部相关请求的权限。
美国地区法官蒂莫西·凯利批准了司法部的动议，以附带禁止再诉的条件驳回对伊桑·诺德安、约瑟夫·比格斯、扎卡里·里尔和多米尼克·佩佐拉的指控，此前联邦上诉法院已撤销了他们的定罪。
在一份长达七页的意见书中，凯利表示，长期以来的三权分立原则将起诉决定权赋予行政部门，这意味着他不能要求司法部继续其已决定终止的诉讼。

司法部请求撤销国会山定罪，此举与特朗普行政令相关
“因为发布行政命令和放弃本次起诉的决定——即便政府已在1月6日国会大厦袭击案的严重罪行定罪后做出这一决定——完全属于行政部门的职权范围，任何人都不应将法院批准政府的动议误解为法院同意这些决定，”凯利写道。
佩佐拉被判袭击警察、抢劫和破坏政府财产罪名成立，他因偷走国会警察的防暴盾牌并用其砸碎国会大厦窗户而被定罪，检察官称这是数百名骚乱者进入大楼的第一个突破口。他被认定煽动阴谋罪不成立，但多项其他重罪罪名成立。
与此同时，诺德安、比格斯和里尔被判煽动阴谋罪以及多项与1月6日国会大厦袭击相关的重罪，包括阴谋阻挠国会对2020年总统选举结果的认证、在民事骚乱期间阻碍执法以及破坏政府财产。
前印第安纳州众议员斯蒂芬·拜尔因2023年内幕交易定罪获得特朗普全面赦免
司法部于4月首次提出动议，要求撤销对这四人的定罪并驳回案件，辩称鉴于唐纳德·特朗普总统2025年1月20日的行政命令——为他们减刑，并向前骄傲男孩主席恩里克·塔里奥以及数百名其他国会山骚乱被告发布全面赦免——此举符合“司法利益”。哥伦比亚特区巡回法院已撤销了这四人的定罪，并将案件发回凯利的法庭，由其审议司法部驳回起诉书的请求。
“政府提出驳回本案的原因，以及驳回是否确实是行政部门的诉求，几乎不言自明，”凯利写道。“特朗普总统对1月6日袭击美国国会大厦者的起诉立场——无论这些立场基于事实还是虚构——众所周知，他为这些人宽大处理的意图也同样如此。”
凯利援引长期以来的先例称，起诉决定权属于行政部门，法官不能仅仅因为不同意政府的推理就驳回驳回动议。

针对特朗普议程的法律战愈演愈烈，联邦律师倒向民主党
由于定罪已被撤销，且检察官拥有决定是否提起刑事指控的广泛权力，凯利表示他无权强迫司法部继续起诉。
“事实上，除了完全批准该动议之外，很难看出还有任何其他符合实际意义的做法。驳回动议不会以任何方式恢复上诉法院已撤销的定罪，”凯利写道。“驳回动议也不会意味着会进行重审，因为法院无权强迫行政部门提起诉讼——完全如此——尤其是当一项行政命令明确要求政府以附带禁止再诉的条件寻求驳回时。”
但凯利尖锐谴责了1月6日骚乱者的行为，称这是对民众、国会以及“宪法促进和平权力交接机制”的攻击。

“展望未来，如果这个国家的自治实验还要再延续250年，美国人民——无论其党派偏好如何——都必须共同行动，通过我们的宪法框架来维护、保护和捍卫这一奇迹，”凯利写道。

同样因国会山骚乱相关刑事指控获得赦免的塔里奥，在X平台上对凯利的驳回裁决表示庆祝。
“我们承受了他们施加的最恶劣手段——搜查、单独监禁、谎言，但我们挺直了脊梁，”塔里奥写道。“特朗普下达了赦免令，现在其余一切都土崩瓦解了。正义得到了伸张！骄傲男孩从不失败。我们赢了。这是我们的胜利。感谢唐纳德·J·特朗普总统以及所有为我们而战的人！”

Trump-appointed judge permanently ends Proud Boys Jan. 6 case, says Constitution left him no choice

A Trump-appointed federal judge on Friday reluctantly dismissed the Jan. 6 prosecution of four Proud Boys members, saying the law left him no authority to block the Justice Department’s request.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly granted the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case with prejudice against Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola after a federal appeals court had already vacated their convictions.
In a seven-page opinion, Kelly said longstanding separation-of-powers principles leave charging decisions to the executive branch, meaning he could not require the Justice Department to maintain a prosecution it had decided to drop.

DOJ SEEKS TO VACATE JAN 6 CONVICTIONS IN SWEEPING MOVE TIED TO TRUMP ORDER
“Because the decisions to issue the Executive Order and to abandon this prosecution—even after the Government secured convictions for serious crimes relating to the attack on the Capitol on January 6—are solely the Executive’s, no one should mistake the Court’s granting of the Government’s motion for its agreement with those decisions,” Kelly wrote.
Pezzola, who was convicted of assaulting police, robbery and destroying government property, was found guilty of stealing a Capitol Police riot shield before using it to smash a Capitol window, creating what prosecutors said was the first breach point through which hundreds of rioters entered the building. He was acquitted of seditious conspiracy but convicted on multiple other felony counts.
Meanwhile, Nordean, Biggs and Rehl were convicted of seditious conspiracy and several other felonies related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, including conspiracy to obstruct Congress’ certification of the 2020 presidential election, obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder and destruction of government property.

The Justice Department first moved in April to vacate the convictions and dismiss the case against the four men, arguing that doing so was “in the interests of justice” in light of President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20, 2025, executive order commuting their sentences and issuing full pardons to former Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio and hundreds of other Jan. 6 defendants. The D.C. Circuit had already erased the men’s convictions before returning the case to Kelly’s courtroom to consider the Justice Department’s request to dismiss the indictment.
“There is little mystery about why the Government is moving to dismiss this case, or whether dismissal is in fact what the Executive seeks,” Kelly wrote. “President Trump’s views about the prosecution of those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6—whether those views are based on fact or fiction—are well known, as is his intention to extend clemency to them.”
Kelly cited longstanding precedent holding that charging decisions belong to the executive branch and that judges cannot reject a dismissal simply because they disagree with the government’s reasoning.

LEGAL WAR ON TRUMP’S AGENDA GAINS FIREPOWER AS FEDERAL LAWYERS DEFECT TO DEMOCRATS
And because the convictions had already been vacated and prosecutors have broad authority to decide whether to pursue criminal charges, Kelly said he lacked the power to force the Justice Department to continue the prosecution.
“Indeed, it is hard to see how any course other than granting the motion in full could make practical sense. Denying the motion would not somehow revive the convictions that the Court of Appeals vacated,” Kelly wrote. “Nor would denying it mean a retrial would follow, because the Court lacks the authority to compel the Executive to pursue a prosecution, full stop—but especially when an executive order explicitly requires that the Government seek dismissal with prejudice.”
But Kelly sharply rebuked the actions of the Jan. 6 rioters, calling it an attack on the people, Congress, and the “Constitution’s mechanism to facilitate the peaceful transfer of power.”

“Moving forward, if this Nation’s experiment in self-government is to last another 250 years, the American people—no matter their partisan preferences—will have to act together to preserve, protect and defend that miracle through our constitutional framework,” Kelly wrote.

Tarrio, who was also pardoned for criminal charges stemming from his role in the Jan. 6 riots, celebrated Kelly’s dismissal on X.
“We took the worst they threw at us the raids, the solitary, the lies and we stood tall,” Tarrio wrote. “Trump dropped the pardons and now the rest is crumbling. Justice is SERVED! Proud Boys don’t lose. We WIN. This is OUR victory. THANK YOU PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP and all of you that fought for us!”
