J6er Elias Costianes Still Held Hostage by Obama Judge- Government Agrees with Release

In America today, people are being held in prisons for their political views. If you think that this could never happen today, you should look at the January 6th defendants who received a Presidential Pardon and are still being held hostage. The J6ers received a full and unconditional pardon on January 20th, 2025. However, exactly what the pardon covers, is being debated by several activist judges across the country.  

We are witnessing the massive judicial overreach that is happening with President Trump and Skull & Bones Boasberg. Last week The Gateway Pundit informed its readers about one of the worst offenders of being an activist judge, Dabney Friedrich, and her ridiculous interpretation of the J6 Presidential Pardon in regard to J6er Dan Wilson. This kind of behavior is rampant throughout our judicial system and there are more stories every day.

If it isn’t the judges. one only needs to look to the Assistant US Attorneys (AUSA), who seem to be able to oversee themselves and not have any accountability to anyone. A great example of this is how The Justice Department continues to deny any misconduct in the Proud Boys trial.

Surprise surprise. https://t.co/lT8iaShAnq

These judges who feel they don’t have to be accountable to anyone, not even the President of the United States, are waking We the People up. However, until we can fix the system, we still have January 6ers being held hostage.

Elias Costianes is one of the three remaining J6 defendants still being held in prison.  As a result of the FBI raid on Costianes’ home, for his participation on January 6th, a separate case was filed against him for gun charges.

Elias pleaded guilty to the charges and received one year and one day in prison, followed by 24 months of supervised release. Just like, Dan Wilson, Benjamin Martin, and Jeremy Brown, Elias’s case falls under the Presidential Pardon.

These charges would have never happened if it were not for their J6 case, and the FBI raids on their homes. Their J6 cases have been wiped clean so anything related to that J6 case should be also. “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree” defense.

After his appeal for an extension was denied, Costianes reluctantly self-surrendered to the Northeast Ohio Corrections Center (NEOCC) on February 12th. Attorneys Carolyn Stewart and Roger Roots filed an Emergency Motion and waited for the DOJ’s response, which came a week later, on the 19th.

In the government’s reply to the motion, Assistant US Attorney (AUSA) David Bornstein said,

“After consulting with the Department of Justice’s leadership, the United States has concluded that the President pardoned Mr. Costianes of the offenses in the indictment,” Bornstein wrote. “This determination by the Executive is ‘conclusive and preclusive.’” 

The next day, February 20th, Stewart and Roots filed their answer to the government’s reply.  

She starts with support for and concurring with the government, ”The government agreed that Mr. Costianes’ case falls under the Presidential Pardon, and that he should immediately be released from incarceration.” 

“He respectfully requests that this Court order that the U.S. Marshals and BOP immediately release Mr. Costianes from the Northeast Ohio Corrections Center (NEOCC) where he is presently incarcerated, vacate the judgment of the district court, moot the current appeal in this Court, and remand the case to the district court with instructions for dismissal.” 

PLEASE HELP WITH ELIAS’ FREEDOM

It has been a month since this reply was sent to the court, and Maryland Fourth District Federal Judge James K. Bredar continues to hold Elias Costianes hostage. In fact, the government filed a second motion for Elias’ release.

This Obama appointee seems to be completely MIA, on vacation, lost, or just disappeared even after a joint motion was filed on March 13th. The AUSA says that the Marshals, who work for the Department of Justice, will not release Costianes without a court order.  

The DOJ has twice written to the 4th Circuit that the President’s pardon applies to Elias Costianes. Joint Motion filed yesterday. His false imprisonment continues while the Court sits. The AUSA said the Marshals, who work for DOJ, won’t release w/o court order. WTF Bondi???

The Gateway Pundit continues to report on American Political Hostages, such as Jeremy Brown, Benjamin Martin, Tina Peters, Jon Woods, and more. It becomes glaringly obvious when you know their stories, that these Patriots’ lives are in the hands of their corrupt and biased activist judge. 

Please help Elias continue to fight for his release
