Three Rioters Denied Permission To Attend Inauguration

January 5, 2025 Crime, Trump cultists

Politico reports:

A federal judge has denied a Jan. 6 felony defendant’s request for permission to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, despite a personal invitation from members of the Utah congressional delegation.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said Russell Taylor’s “unusually grave” conduct at the Capitol — which included recruiting “fighters” to descend on the Capitol, wearing armor, carrying weapons and helping others push past a police line — did not warrant the “immense privilege” of attending an inauguration.

Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, is the second federal judge to deny a Jan. 6 defendant’s request to attend Trump’s inauguration. U.S. District Judge Tim Kelly, a Trump appointee, turned down a request Thursday from a felony defendant charged with unleashing chemical spray at a police officer.

The two rioters mentioned above need permission from federal courts to leave their home states.

This morning Politico noted that a third convicted rioter, Tommy Tatum [photo], has been denied pre-trial release to attend Glorious Leader’s inauguration.

Tatum, whose Sedition Hunters hashtag is #Potatum, was arrested in June 2024 on January 6 charges after reportedly harassing police officers testifying in other riot trials.

Requests from other rioters remain pending and face objections from the DOJ, who says it’s wrong for Capitol Police to have face to their attackers once again.
