Eliot Resnick former Chief Editor of the Jewish Press Pardoned by Trump!

Eliot Resnick,  a podcast host, has been released from prison, after being pardoned by President Trump.

According to Newsweek, Resnick, an orthodox Jew and former Chief Editor of the Jewish Press, was one of many Jan 6 prisoners who was granted a full pardon. He had been convicted of obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder. He was sentenced to four months in prison, four months of home detention, 24 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $10,539 in fines and restitution.

He was in the process of serving his four month prison sentence, which began on Election Day. Presumably the other penalties have been completely lifted, thanks to Trump’s swapping pardon.

Just after his conviction, Resnick posted the following on X:

“For now, I have just two comments: 1) The January 6 protesters are heroes. 2) The left knows no rules, it respects no boundaries,” he said, promising more comment later. “It will do whatever it takes to win and advance its agenda. If the right doesn’t wake up and start matching the left’s ferocity, zealotry, and deviousness, this country will go down the drain,” he said.

The Department of Justice in a statement after the sentencing said Resnick had waved rioters into the Capitol, pulled rioters into the Capitol past police officers seeking to stop them, and held the arm of an officer who was attempting to spray irritant at the rioters.
