BREAKING NEWS! Tate Adamiak pardoned by Trump effective immediately.
Tate Adamiak has spent YEARS in a federal prison because ATF agents lied about what they found, what those items were, and what happened in their investigation. And this wasn’t one isolated mistake. The allegations involve false claims repeated throughout the investigation and trial.
Now that Tate has been pardoned, the ATF agents who put him there must be held accountable.
They took years of a man’s life. They destroyed his career. They tore a family apart. And they did it under the authority of the United States government.
A pardon gets Tate out of prison. It does NOT give the years back.
The next question is simple:
WHEN DO THE PEOPLE WHO LIED TO PUT HIM THERE ANSWER FOR WHAT THEY DID?
Enough excuses. Enough looking the other way. Federal agents who lied under oath and deliberately helped put an innocent man in prison should face the consequences.
Former U.S. Navy sailor Patrick “Tate” Adamiak has been pardoned by President Donald J. Trump—effective immediately. He was one of several people pardoned by President Trump Friday.
Adamiak, who still had 16 years left to serve of his 20-year federal prison sentence, will soon be a free man.
Adamiak said he was “numb headed” after he was released. He was dreaming of eating a burrito.
“I am ecstatic. I can’t believe it. It’s been four years in the making. It feels great. I am grateful that so many people stood behind me and made it happen,” Adamiak said. “I am grateful to President Trump. He gave me a full pardon. It’s all a lot to take in. I might even be able to get back into the military if I choose to.”
He has said he plans to continue his legal fight against the government since he never committed a single crime, and with his felony convictions completely overturned he can now fight as a free man.
