Pardoned January 6 defendant

Archive card · not a photograph

Thomas Fassell is a Pinellas County, Florida man, and he did not walk into January 6 alone. He walked in beside his wife. Husband and wife. Same day. Same case. Same sentence hearing. When the government came, it came for both of them. WHO HE IS FACT: Thomas Fassell is from the Largo and Pinellas County area of Florida. The Tampa Bay Times covered him and his wife Marilyn Fassell as a Pinellas husband and wife. FACT: The Tampa Bay Times project tracking every Tampa Bay area January 6 arrest lists him among them. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: Press coverage of the case centered on the couple being inside the Capitol together. Everything reported about Thomas Fassell is tied to a marriage, not to a militia. THE LEGAL FIGHT FACT: Case initially filed as 21-mj-593. Complaint filed September 9, 2021. Arrested September 15, 2021. Information filed November 19, 2021. FACT: He pleaded guilty July 19, 2022. FACT: Sentenced December 9, 2022 to 24 months probation, 7 days of intermittent incarceration, and $500 restitution. The Tampa Bay Times covered the sentencing. FACT: Seven days. Served intermittently. Not seven years. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE It does not prove Thomas Fassell was blameless. He entered a guilty plea and that plea is in the record. WHAT IT DOES PROVE A federal judge with the entire file in front of him gave Thomas Fassell probation and seven intermittent days. That number is the court's own measurement of this case. Two people from Pinellas County went to Washington, came home, and paid the price the court set. The record does not lie about how small that price was.
