Guest post by Enrique Tarrio and Zachary Rehl
The government just filed its response to Zach’s Rule 33 motion for a new trial. They didn’t deny a single thing Jeremy Bertino said in his recantation.
They didn’t challenge the sworn affidavit or the two lawyer-led video depositions. They basically admitted their star witness flipped and admitted he lied under oath.
Instead, they are fighting tooth and nail to agree with Merrick Garland and Joe Biden.
This is the same DOJ that is supposed to be working for President Trump. We are the ones who got Bertino to admit he lied.

Enrique got him under oath in two depositions and on a live podcast. The government’s entire seditious conspiracy case against the Proud Boys hinged on Bertino.
He was their star witness. Without him, the narrative collapses.
And now he’s on record saying the feds coerced him — especially FBI Special Agent Nicole Miller, who is still employed by the FBI — threatened him with 25 years, and forced him to lie to tie everything back to Trump and the “planned conspiracy” they needed for the hoax.
Bertino says Miller lied to him to get the testimony they wanted.
The government knows this. They don’t dispute it.
Yet they are still fighting tooth and nail in court to defend the exact position Merrick Garland and Joe Biden took — that nothing was wrong with what was done to us.
I said it during the trial and I’ll say it again: the Biden DOJ’s whole plan was to tie Trump directly to the Proud Boys to push the hoax and eventually charge him with seditious conspiracy to keep him off the ballot.

Now, with midterms approaching and Democrats already talking impeachment again, they’re going to resurrect January 6th.
You can bet on it. So why are the same prosecutors who ran this case still employed?
Why is Jocelyn Ballantine — the lead prosecutor on the Proud Boys case — still at the DOJ and still signing off on filings that fight the very evidence that destroys the narrative she helped build?
Why did Jeanine Pirro sign this response? We shouldn’t have to fight Jeanine Pirro for the truth that everybody already knows.
The President has said publicly that what was done to us was wrong. He commuted our sentences and fully pardoned Enrique.
He knows these cases were a farce. Yet his own DOJ is still counter-signaling him.
They are defending the Biden regime’s actions in open court. They are protecting the same machine that tried to take Trump off the ballot and that is still persecuting his most loyal supporters.
Would the President himself have given this same pushback if the corrupt Biden regime had falsely convicted him?
We doubt it. So why the double standard now? This is extremely disappointing.
We don’t want to be mad at Jeanine Pirro. But tell us how we’re not supposed to be.
How are we supposed to continue trusting this new DOJ when it’s acting exactly like the old one?
Zach has been fighting this as a pro se litigant for months.
We’ve filed motion after motion trying to get the Bertino recantation and the coercion on the record.
The government has fought us every step of the way — in the district court and in the appeals court.
They raided Bertino’s home at predawn, found guns that belonged to his girlfriend, bent the rules to pin “possession” on him even though he wasn’t even in the city on January 6th, and then blackmailed him into lying on the stand.
Now he’s recanted all of it, and the DOJ is still defending the Biden-era position.
Some of us are disabled veterans who are being denied disability benefits, healthcare, and retirement payments because these lingering felony convictions from the seditious conspiracy hoax still stand.
The persecution isn’t just the felonies on our records. It’s the ongoing denial of the basic benefits we earned serving this country.
It’s time to move on from January 6th. The only real way to do that is full pardons or dismissals with prejudice.
Clearly the DOJ doesn’t want to move on, and there are probably reasons behind it that don’t look good for the President.
Some of us are tired of playing this political game and being used as pawns against President Trump.
We want justice for what happened to all of us. We want this to end.
We want to get back to our regular lives without having to constantly fight our own government. John Adams is rolling in his grave.
The President knows these cases were a farce. His own words have made that clear.
So why is his DOJ still protecting the hoax? Why are they still employing the same prosecutors who tried to tie him to it?
Why are they forcing us to keep fighting for the truth in court when the truth is already out there for everyone to see?
We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for basic fairness.
We are asking that the Department of Justice under President Trump stop acting like the Department of Justice under Biden.
If this doesn’t get resolved soon, Jeanine Pirro and others like her will be on the receiving end of the weaponization if the Democrats are allowed to steal another election.
They are playing with fire. We want accountability. We want the underlying convictions addressed. We want the weaponization exposed and fixed.
Pardons and commutations were a start, but they are not the end.
The ball is in the DOJ’s court.
The evidence is undisputed. The recantation is on record. The coercion is documented.
The only question left is whether this administration is going to stand with the truth or keep protecting the same corrupt system that tried to destroy us and the President.
We are watching. The J6 community is watching. And the American people are watching.
It’s time to choose a side.
