After President Trump’s Election, The Deep State Doubles Down on Jan. 6 Indictments

Today, nearly four years after the Jan. 6 election fraud protest and subsequent fed-surrection, the trial of Jeremy Rodgers is set to begin.

Rodgers is a long-time conservative activist from Midland, Mich. Like millions of patriots who heeded the call after the stolen 2020 presidential election, he headed to Washington D.C. to show his support for President Donald Trump and his efforts to defeat voter fraud.

Now, the Michigan Republican precinct delegate faces decades in prison after being brought up on seven charges. Rodgers believes the FBI is acting wrongly and maliciously with these charges.

“It feels like a politically motivated case that is being brought against me in an attempt to destroy my life,” Rodgers told Stone Cold Truth.

Rodgers has refused to accept a plea deal, which many J6ers have done rather than face biased court proceedings that could result in convictions on multiple felony charges. This is the game the Biden administration has played to coerce as many guilty pleas as possible to bolster their phony insurrection narrative that they hoped would influence the results of the 2024 presidential election, but ultimately did not.

After attending the Jan. 6 protest where he encountered alleged provocateur Ray Epps, Rodgers lived his life working as a risk manager for an insurance agency while volunteering in his free time to support conservative political campaigns. He had started a young family, with a wife and two children, and looked forward to building a future for them.

In Dec. 2022, the FBI came knocking and Rodgers’ life changed forever. FBI agents came to Rodgers’ place of employment and asked for him. Rodgers’ home was only two blocks away, but the FBI deliberately chose instead to target his place of employment. The agents did not specify what they wanted to talk about, and Rodgers declined to speak with them without an attorney present before they left the premises.

This FBI appearance ultimately led to Rodgers being fired by his employer before he was even charged with a crime. Rodgers consulted his attorney, and they made every effort to comply with the FBI’s request for an interview. They repeatedly called and emailed the FBI to follow up but received no further correspondence. After being terminated from his job, Rodgers traveled for work mostly throughout the south cleaning commercial oven hoods at restaurants.

In June 2023, the FBI raided Rodgers’ home while he was away for work. A dozen FBI agents showed up to Rodgers’ home to conduct a no-knock raid at 6:00 AM. The FBI agents took his wife and two young children out of the home at gun point, tore up their belongings, destroying their home to send a message. Rodgers turned himself in at an FBI branch in Orlando a day later where he was processed and released.

“Since then, my life has been a living hell. I have been declared guilty in the court of public opinion. It is hard to put food on my family’s table,” Rodgers said.

Since the raid, Rodgers has had five jobs over the past two years. He is dogged by constant local media harassment meant to make him a pariah in his community. Despite the flak, Rodgers remains steadfast in his resolve. He is aware of the FBI’s history of Cointelpro and their agenda to set dissidents up to frame them for non-existent terror plots, such as what occurred in the phony kidnapping plot of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Rodgers refuses to back down an inch, even if it means the FBI makes an example of him in a cruel and backward justice system. Rodgers still freely states his belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, particularly through procedural tricks used by the Democrats under the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Democrats in Michigan and other states changed the rules in the middle of election using COVID as cover to open up mail-in ballots and reject normal signature verification,” Rodgers said.

“They usurped that role from the state legislatures, violating Article 1, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. This was how they cheated and likely how they stole the 2020 presidential election,” Rodgers added.

Rodgers was slapped with the following charges: civil disorder; assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon (resulting in bodily injury); disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon; engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

Rodgers disputes the charges and states that the notion he would ever be violent toward law enforcement is completely false.

“I previously worked for the Republican attorney general in the state of Michigan,” said Rodgers. “I have the utmost respect for law enforcement at every level and would never intentionally assault an officer of the law under any circumstance.”

“The deadly weapon they refer to in my charges is a flagpole holding my Trump 2020 flag. The FBI is throwing crazy charges at me for political purposes. These massive injustices were rejected by the people with Trump’s re-election earlier this year,” Rodgers added.

Similar to other J6ers, Rodgers has been subject to kangaroo court proceedings since the beginning of his trial. The government sprung another last-minute charge against Rodgers during his June 14 indictment despite having access to the same evidence over the past year and a half.

“I have chosen a bench trial believing that it is impossible to get a fair trial by jury in the Washington D.C. District Court. I hope for impartial justice, as lofty of a goal as that may seem, and if that is not possible, for President Donald J. Trump to issue blanket pardons and clemency for all of those who have been ensnared in these federal Jan. 6 investigations,” Rodgers said.

President Trump said over the weekend that he would issue a pardon for Jan. 6 protesters “very quickly” after he once again assumes the Oval Office. That may be the only way for Rodgers to get justice with the deck stacked against him so thoroughly.
