Pauline Bauer
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imagePauline Bauer ran Bob's Trading Post, a pizza place in Kane, Pennsylvania, a small business in a small McKean County town. That was her life before January 6: feeding her neighbors. [FACT / news reporting] On January 6, 2021, Pauline traveled to Washington for the rally and went into the Capitol with the crowd. A judge, in a bench trial, convicted her of a felony obstruction count and misdemeanors, and she was sentenced to 27 months. She fought the case her own way, representing herself and invoking her faith in court. [FACT, court record] On January 20, 2025, President Trump pardoned the January 6 defendants, Pauline among them. [FACT] Say what you will about that day, the woman behind the case spent years building a business and serving a community that knew her by name. The record: convicted at a bench trial of obstruction of an official proceeding and related misdemeanor counts; sentenced to 27 months in prison, 24 months supervised release, and a $2,000 fine; pardoned January 20, 2025. Case 21-cr-386, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
