Clifford James Meteer
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageClifford 'Cliff' Meteer is a Knoxville, Tennessee man — and the court record is clear about one thing: he hurt no one. FACT: The government itself stated Meteer is not accused of any violent acts or destruction of property at the Capitol on January 6. He walked in the Senate Wing door at 2:24 p.m. carrying a sign, and was removed by police. (WBIR; DOJ) FACT: He pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor — parading, demonstrating, or picketing. A man with a sign. No weapon, no fists, no broken glass. FACT: The January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation covered January 6 defendants. If you know Cliff, help tell the rest of who he is. Case record: United States v. Meteer, No. 1:21-cr-630, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested August 10, 2021. Pleaded guilty January 13, 2022. Sentenced to 60 days, 36 months probation, 60 hours community service and $500 restitution. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
