Thomas B. Adams Jr.
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Thomas B. Adams Jr. — Springfield, Illinois. FACT: He was 41 years old and a Springfield man with no national profile at all until the day a camera found him. (Chicago Sun-Times) FACT: He was found guilty on 1/31/2023 of felony obstruction of an official proceeding and a misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building. Judge Amit Mehta sentenced him to 14 months, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 restitution. (DOJ) FACT: He served roughly FIVE months of that sentence and was released from a federal prison in Arkansas pending his appeal. A court found his appeal serious enough to let him go home while it was heard. That is not nothing. (Chicago Sun-Times) FACT: The government said he entered through the Parliamentarian Door carrying a Trump flag and photographed the Senate floor. He is not accused of assaulting anyone. (DOJ) FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency in January 6 cases. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: No verified fundraiser or self-published account located. If his family has one, send it.
