Following the January 20th transition of power this year, many believed that the legal repercussions stemming from the January 6th Capitol events—commonly referred to as J6—had largely concluded, allowing those embroiled in the controversies to resume their lives. Yet, as highlighted by , this assumption seems overly optimistic for some individuals still facing legal challenges. A notable case involves several individuals still detained, allegedly in contravention of a Presidential Pardon, with accusations of judicial bias suggesting a corrupt or power-driven judicial process.
In Washington, DC, Shane Lamond, previously a lieutenant and supervisor within the Intelligence Branch of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homeland Security Bureau, is set for sentencing on April 25th in connection with a J6-related case. This case has garnered substantial media coverage, particularly from TGP writer Cassandra MacDonald, whose recent article features a heartfelt appeal from Lamond’s family for a full pardon from former President Trump.
Lamond faced conviction after a seven-day bench trial presided over by Judge Amy Berman Jackson, accused of obstruction of justice, as per D.C. Code Section 22-722, and three counts of making false statements, violating Title 18 United States Code, Section 1001.
Before the fateful events of January 6, 2021, Lamond had acted as a liaison between the Metropolitan Police Department and Enrique Tarrio, the National Chairman of The Proud Boys, engaging in discussions aimed at ensuring safety during various rallies and protests. However, the United States Attorney’s Office for DC presented contentious evidence during the trial, revealing that Lamond had shared confidential law enforcement information regarding an investigation into a December 12, 2020, incident involving the burning of a “#BLACKLIVESMATTER” banner—an act Tarrio was implicated in. This information allegedly reached other Proud Boys, with Lamond also notifying Tarrio via a self-destructing message about an active arrest warrant against him, just prior to Tarrio’s apprehension upon arriving in Arlington, Virginia.
During the tumultuous year of 2023, as Tarrio faced his own trial related to the events of January 6th, Lamond was poised to testify on his behalf. However, the Department of Justice allegedly threatened Lamond with indictment should he proceed to testify. Consequently, Lamond opted against participating in what some might label a “show trial” for Tarrio, only to find himself charged regardless. Tarrio has consistently maintained that Lamond provided no prior warning regarding his impending arrest. While incarcerated in Kentucky, Tarrio was later transported to DC, where he testified in Lamond’s trial, offering his perspective on the events in question. However, Judge Jackson’s apparent inability to consider facts impartially has led many to criticize her ruling as influenced by a bias against Trump supporters. This sentiment echoes throughout numerous cases connected to January 6th, where judicial outcomes often appear predetermined by the prosecution’s narrative.
Despite not being present at the Capitol on January 6th, Lamond’s case unequivocally relates to the events of that day. It is argued that his prosecution falls under the Presidential Pardon issued by Trump on January 20th, 2025. Advocates for Lamond assert that he deserves a full pardon, a sentiment echoed by figures like Pam Bondi and Ed Martin, who could potentially resolve this perceived political persecution with a mere signature.
In a recent conversation, Tarrio expressed his support for Lamond, emphasizing the importance of standing by those who uphold the truth. Those wishing to assist Shane Lamond can contact Pam Bondi’s office to advocate for his pardon, or reach out to Ed Martin’s office at 202-252-7566 or via email at [email protected]
