Mitchell Todd Gardner II is a Seffner, Florida man whose story did not end at sentencing. He owned his case early, and later he told the court exactly how he got there. FACT: Mitchell Gardner pleaded guilty on June 27, 2022 to three felony charges from January 6. (DOJ, U.S. Attorney for D.C.) FACT: On March 17, 2023 he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison. (Tampa Bay Times, 3/17/2023; FOX 13 Tampa Bay) THEIR ACCOUNT: In an October 2023 motion for early release, Gardner told the court he had come to believe he was manipulated by what he heard in the run-up to January 6. (NBC News, 10/2023) FACT: The January 20, 2025 presidential clemency proclamation covered January 6 convictions, including his. Whatever anyone thinks of that day, Mitchell Gardner faced his case head on, pleaded guilty, did his time, and was covered by the clemency order like the rest.
