Edward Kelley was the 4th rioter to breach the Capitol on #Jan6 & was convicted of assaulting #law enforcement & other charges after a trial in DC last year in which the #FBI alleged that he was armed w/a #handgun when he breached the Capitol. Kelley was then separately convicted by a fed #jury in #Tennessee of #conspiracy to #murder employees of the #UnitedStates, solicitation to commit a #crime of #violence & influencing or retaliating against fed ofcls by threat.
Prosecutors wrote that Kelley "devised a plan to murder federal, state, & local law enforcement in East Tennessee."
The #DOJ said evidence at trial showed Kelley developed a “kill list” of #FBI special agents & others who investigated his conduct. “Every hit has to hurt,” Kelley said to a co-conspirator…. “Every hit has to hurt.”
Kelley was among the >1,500 defendants who received a #pardon from #Trump on Jan 20 for their actions during the #Jan6 #insurrection.….
Kelley’s attorney has argued that Trump’s mass pardon of Jan. 6 *rioters* should apply to Kelley’s #conviction in the #murder plot because it “directly relates to the events at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
