“I Forgive My Son for Working with the FBI to Convict Me”
Interview with Convicted January 6th Political Prisoner Guy Reffitt from DC Gitmo!
Editor's Note: The Jan. 6th political prisoners were never going to a fair and speedy trial by a jury of their peers. We all knew the Democrats running the show would never allow that. Once again we watched as they are being totally railroaded by the FBI in the most shameless ways and provided with a totally incompetent defense attorney who clearly is not operating with the best interests of his client in mine. Once again the defense attorney didn't even present a defense! NOTHING. Didn't put William on the stand to defend himself!
“If this first J6 case taught them anything it should be DON’T USE THE LIBERAL PUBLIC DEFENDERS,” said Tina Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “Reffitt’s public defender did not defend him or bring any witnesses to the stand. He didn’t show the video to the court that had the potential to exonerate Reffitt. It makes me question just who he was working for.”
Reffitt’s inadequate public defender William Welch did not question Jackson Reffitt about this incident on the stand, nor did the government-assigned attorney bring forth any defense witnesses. In fact, he barely defended his client at all.
In an incredible display of forgiveness and compassion, convicted J6er Guy Reffitt spoke to The Gateway Pundit about how much he loves and misses his teenage son Jackson Reffitt.
Jackson had secretly recorded his father at their home for eight days while working with the FBI and acted as the key witness for the prosecution to convict his father on all five charges the Biden Regime brought against him.
Reffitt spoke to The Gateway Pundit candidly for the first time about his son Jackson and his guilty verdict in an exclusive interview from DC Gitmo.

Incredibly, the convicted J6er had nothing but tenderness and compassion in his voice as he talked about his only son.
“I will always love my son and he can always come home,” said Guy Reffitt, who is back in DC Gitmo to await his sentencing on June 8th. “I will always be happy to see him.”

who testified against his father as the key witness for the DOJ prosecution.
Jackson initially reached out to the FBI on Christmas Eve of 2020 and met with them on January 6th as the events of the day unfolded on TV.
In this new interview, the broken-hearted Dad detailed how his son was angry at him before he called the FBI to report him for planning on going to the January 6th rally because he would not allow the boy to take his mother’s car to a “Black Lives Matter” protest in Texas.

“He was angry that he didn’t get to go to that BLM protest,” said Reffitt. “Well, he got to go to the BLM protest, I didn’t stop him from doing that- I just told him he couldn’t take Mom’s car and he was angry with me. That was going to be brought forward in trial in the questioning of him but it didn’t…”

“I think Jackson was just mad at me,” continued Reffitt. “He was extremely mad throughout 2020 anyway- he was very angry, because of the political strife that had gone on in 2020- he was very upset about Trump and didn’t like Trump, and he was wanting to go to BLM rallies and stuff and I had no problems with that. I didn’t agree with the way they were doing things all 2020 and my political views were more to the conservative side and he didn’t see it that way. I believe his political beliefs are in some way an attack on me for having mine…I don’t understand that.”

See Jackson Reffitt’s Twitter page here. It is mind boggling to see the social accolades the boy has received from the left that encouraged him to go through with testifying against his father.

“The left loves to encourage families to turn on each other,” said Tina Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “It is what they do best. Break up the nuclear family in any way they can. Brainwash and praise children for turning their parents over to the government. It is straight out of Orwell’s dystopian ‘1984’.”
Jackson has been lauded as a hero of the liberals and received tremendous encouragement from the left after disgraced CNN host Chris Cuomo interviewed and lavished him with praise for turning his Dad in. Cuomo aka ‘Fredo’ called Jackson a hero, and encouraged his CNN viewing audience to donate to Jackson’s GoFundMe page that has earned almost $173,000 to date.
The DC Jury deliberated for only an hour before coming up with a guilty verdict across the board for Reffitt. They found him guilty on all five counts- obstruction of an official proceeding, being unlawfully present on Capitol grounds while armed with a firearm, transporting firearms during a civil disorder, interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder, and obstruction of justice.

According to Scott MacFarland of CBS News, one of the jurors told him the jury “hoped they made a statement” to other J6’ers and “the lack of a defense presentation” was telling.
Reffitt faces up to 60 years in prison, yet when we spoke to him he remains positive and plans on appealing.
“If this first J6 case taught them anything it should be DON’T USE THE LIBERAL PUBLIC DEFENDERS,” said Tina Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “Reffitt’s public defender did not defend him or bring any witnesses to the stand. He didn’t show the video to the court that had the potential to exonerate Reffitt. It makes me question just who he was working for.”

Reffitt’s public defender William Welch was in possession of video files showing that Reffitt was not “the tip of the spear” like the prosecution contested- in fact Ray Epps and crew had already passed through that area over 45 minutes prior. Welch did not show the videos in court but opted to give them to the jury to watch during deliberations. Because the Jury came back after only 2.5 hours, it is assumed they did not watch the videos as they took an extended lunch for over an hour to devour DOJ provided sandwiches that one of the jurors described as “to die for” before the well fed jury then hastily voted unanimously to find Reffitt guilty on all charges.

“I wish they had watched the videos and taken into account that the fate of my life was in their hands,” said Reffitt. “I wish they would have cared enough to take the time to study the evidence and deliberate, but they didn’t. One of the jurors even fell asleep during the trial. I guess I didn’t expect to have a jury that wasn’t biased.”
Thanks to the witch-hunting January 6th Unselect Committee demonizing J6ers daily, the DOJ and FBI manhunts, and the tarrying of the jury pool courtesy of Biden, Harris and Pelosi calling J6ers names like “insurrectionists” before they stand trial who could possibly expect them to get a fair shake at justice?

Reffitt’s attorney also opted to not bring his daughter Peyton to the stand. Peyton was originally slated as as prosecution witness but was pulled at the last minute because the prosecution heard that she planned on defending her Dad on the stand.
Reffitt only had eyes for his 17 year old daughter as she sat in the courtroom on the last day of his trail. (Reffitt had not seen his daughter in over a year since he was locked away in DC Gitmo in January of 2021 with no bail and no visitors allowed.)
As the prosecution nailed his coffin in their Closing Statements (telling the jury how he had planned on taking over Congress and ‘aided and abetted’ the entire crowd behind him on January 6th), Reffitt seemed to block them out. He turned his face sideways and desperately locked his gaze on his daughter behind her courtroom mandatory face mask, seeming to know it would be the last time he would see her for a long time.
“She looked so beautiful,” he told us in his first interview since the trial. “She has grown up so much.”

Reffitt told us his public defender convinced him “the prosecution would bury themselves” and there was no need for a strong defense case. Clearly the public defender was wrong.
“It is so important Reffitt hires a private attorney and fires Public Defender William Welch,” continued Ryan of Citizen’s Against Political Persecution. “He has a great case for appeal based on exclusion of evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel. It was no coincidence the first J6er the DOJ tried had a passive liberal public defender. They were looking for a slam dunk to terrify the other J6ers to plea out and used Mr. Reffitt as an example.”

She continued: “This defense attorney did the bare minimum to defend his client and there were some questionable actions that lead some to believe he was actually assisting the prosecution more than anything.”
Some also question whether the recordings made by Jackson Reffitt should have been admissible in court because they were obtained while his father had been drinking and taking anti-anxiety pills in his home at night.
According to Nicole Reffitt, the wife of Guy Reffitt and mother to Jackson Reffitt:
“Jackson recorded his family home for 8 days following his Dad’s return from DC, and many of the recordings were Jackson provoking his dad into debate, and out and out purposely provoking his dad…all at the behest of the FBI.”
The most common grounds for appeal of a criminal conviction are improper admission or exclusion of evidence, insufficient evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel.
Reffitt had broken down and wept uncontrollably when his son entered the courtroom during the trial. He told us he was overwhelmed with conflicting emotions of being happy to see his growing boy after over a year and also feeling incredible despair in knowing his teenage son was about to willingly testify against him in a trial that could put him away for 60 years.
“I hadn’t seen him in over a year now and he grew so much, I couldn’t believe it,” said Reffitt. “I was so happy to see him after so long…but at he same time it was breaking my heart that he was about to testify against me on the stand. I just could take it.”
“It will be one of the greatest days of my future when I can hug my son again,” Reffitt said. “I don’t want him to feel guilt. My father and I didn’t get along when I was eighteen either, but when I turned twenty five things changed. I am hoping the same thing happens with my son- that in a few years we can mend things.
He continued:
“If this is what he felt like he had to do, I have to respect him as a man. He’s come into his own and manhood and I brought him into this world to be the man he is. I may disagree with him but I have to respect him. I created him and I’m happy about that.”
Reffitt told us he chooses to remain positive because for him it is the only option. “I can never let them beat me,” he said. “I can’t let them get me down. Or else how would I come back from that?”
Reffitt said he spends his free hour at DC Gitmo playing the card game “Magic, The Gathering” with his pal Jessica Watkins (DC Gitmo’s only female transgender prisoner). The rest of the time he spends in his cell writing in a journal.
“I also pray,” he said. “I am close to God. My Father was a Pastor. I have to believe that what is happening to me is happening for a reason, to make me stronger for something greater.”
Reffitt’s wife is now left to fend for herself and pick up the broken pieces of her family.
