Jon Lizak is a young man from Huntington, on the north shore of Long Island, New York. He was in his early twenties on January 6, 2021. One misdemeanor. That is the whole conviction. [FACT] HIS STORY Jon Lizak is from the Huntington and Cold Spring Harbor area of Suffolk County, New York. [FACT, Patch and NBC News reporting on the case.] He was one of five men in their early twenties charged together, young guys who went to a rally in Washington and ended up on a federal docket. Whatever else gets written about that day, Jon Lizak was 20-something and he was charged with the lowest-level offense in the January 6 code. THE LEGAL FIGHT The record, plainly. [FACT, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, case 1:22-mj-203.] Criminal complaint filed September 12, 2022. Arrested September 15, 2022 on Long Island. Jon Lizak pleaded guilty to parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, a misdemeanor carrying a six-month maximum. [FACT, NBC News.] No felony. No assault charge. No trial. Charges are charges, and this one was a misdemeanor. JANUARY 20, 2025 On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued clemency covering the January 6 cases. [FACT] [DOCUMENTED INFERENCE that the clemency reached this misdemeanor conviction, based on its sweep of the January 6 docket.] CASE RECORD Case number: 1:22-mj-203 Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Arrested: September 15, 2022 DOJ docket page: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/lizak-jon Suffolk County, New York.
