Another insurrectionist pardoned by Trump has been rearrested

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Yet another violent Capitol insurrectionist whom President Donald Trump pardoned has been rearrested, The Washington Post reported late Monday.

Zachary J. Alam was arrested on May 9 and charged with felony residential burglary and misdemeanor vandalism after he allegedly broke into a house in Richmond, Virginia, while the homeowners were there.

Until Jan. 20, Alam had been serving an eight-year prison sentence after he was convicted of eight felonies and three misdemeanors for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, which included “assaulting, resisting, or impeding” Capitol Police officers.

Alam was unrepentant, with U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich giving him one of the longest prison sentences of any Jan. 6 insurrectionist because of his “lack of remorse,” The Washington Post reported in November, when he was sentenced.

Theodore Middendorf

Theodore Middendorf was accused by Illinois prosecutors of "Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child." Prosecutors said in a court filing obtained by NPR that Middendorf "committed an act of sexual penetration." Indiana state records indicate that Middendorf's victim was 7 years old.

Middendorf entered a guilty plea in that case in May 2024 and was sentenced to 19 years in prison. He is currently registered as a sex offender in the state and remains in custody on those charges.

David Daniel

David Daniel of Mint Hill, N.C., is charged with "Production of Child Pornography" and "Possession of Child Pornography," which allegedly "involved a prepubescent minor" and a child under 12 years old.

"The government's forecast of evidence is compelling and suggests Defendant engaged in sexual acts with two young girls in his own family," Magistrate Judge David Keesler wrote of the case against Daniel. "It is also alleged he took and kept photos of the genitalia of the victims. The mother of one victim (Defendant's ex?wife) appeared in court to request that Defendant not be released." Because of those findings, Judge Keesler ordered Daniel to remain in detention pending trial. Daniel has pleaded not guilty to the charges in North Carolina and that case remains pending.

The retired Green Beret from Tampa was sentenced to seven years on weapons charges.

Dominic Box, who was awaiting sentencing for felony civil disorder, remains in the same Kentucky jail as Brown. While awaiting trial for his Jan. 6 charges, Box was arrested by a deputy who said he found him passed out in his car outside a Jacksonville restaurant.

Ben Martin, a California man convicted of illegally possessing eight firearms that agents found during a Jan. 6-related search, also remains in custody after his Jan. 6 charges were pardoned.

A Pasco man pardoned for his role in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots has been found guilty of threatening to blow up a federal building and on weapons charges related to trying to enter former President Barack Obama’s Washington, D.C., home in 2023.

I'm sure there's Many more. I just listed those I found very quickly.

[ReRe]

14. Whew! Excuuuuuuse me!

I was just going by the dailykoz article. Wow. Thanks for correcting me!

[Wiz Imp]

15. No problem

I started keeping track that first week, but there were so many so quickly, that it became too much work to keep up with it.

[Yonnie3]

4. I wish there was some way to hold the pardoner liable

I know it is not possible, just a wish, but I suspect discovery would produce some interesting stuff.

[Wiz Imp]

17. Apparently, at least 10 people Trump pardoned during his first term have been rearrested

So that's in addition to all the Jan. 6 reoffenders.

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-pardon-recipients-are-being-charged-new-crimes-2022980

Donald Trump Pardon Recipients Are Being Charged With New Crimes

Trump pardoned 238 people in his first term ...

At least 10 people pardoned between 2016 to 2021 were charged again on new crimes after their presidential release from prison

[Dave Bowman]

5. I hope that they'll lock up that idiot for good this time.

[Hekate]

6. My greatest hope is that J6ers will be found guilty in State courts, which iiuc, cannot be overturned by trump

These re-offenders are as dumb as a sack of hammers. They got away with their crimes of supporting trump in an insurrection — now apparently they think they are invulnerable, above the law.

7. How many of his goons are working for ICE now?

[dlk]

8. Criminals tend to commit crimes

No surprise there.

[BurnDoubt]

10. Who Knew???

What would happen if He released more than 1500 convicted VIOLENT Criminals on to our streets? This IS Critical Race Theory In Plain Sight.

[Wiz Imp]

16. It's especially disturbing that of the 15 people I've quickly identified as being rearrested ...

At least 4 were rearrested for child pornography, sexual abuse of a child or soliciting a minor online

And incredibly, at least 3 killed other people in drunk driving crashes.

[TomSlick]

18. I know this is getting old but any other President would be raked over the coals if someone they pardon re-offends.

It continues to astound that the media is not going nuts.
