Feds insist Zach Rehl return hundreds of thousands he doesn't have

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Treasury Department are forcing Jan. 6 political prisoner Zachary Rehl, who was convicted of "seditious conspiracy," to pay back every dollar of military benefits he received after the Capitol riot.

Zach's wife Amanda thought she had endured the worst of the government's abuse and humiliation of her husband and family.

But Zach, a Marine Corps veteran, was stripped of his military benefits after he and his co-defendants were found guilty of "seditious conspiracy" on May 4 by an overwhelmingly left-wing, pro-Biden, Washington, D.C. jury.

On Jan. 6, 2021, after Rehl was hit with rubber bullets, tear gas and flash grenades that police indiscriminately fired into the crowd, he walked through the Capitol building for approximately 12 minutes and took a few selfies.

A few weeks later, on March 17, 2021, Rehl was apprehended by the FBI in a predawn raid, when his wife was six months pregnant with her first child.

He and his co-defendants Ethan Nordean, Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs and Dominic Pezzola were practically starved for the 17 months they were detained in a 6-by-8-foot, windowless, freezing-cold jail cell in solitary confinement.

Zach's brief stroll through "The People's House" resulted in U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly handing him a stunning 15-year prison sentence for his role in the Capitol riot. Government prosecutors had sought a 30-year sentence.

Judge Kelly also added so-called "terror enhancements" to Rehl's sentence, prompting Rehl to compare his trial and sentencing to something that would happen in communist China.
