Houston man pardoned for Jan. 6 crimes now wanted for online solicitation of a minor | Houston Public Media
Andrew Taake, 36, was released from a federal prison in Colorado on Jan. 20, despite a request from the Harris County DA's Office to hold him on a pending state warrant from 2016.
Andrew Taake, 36, was sentenced to six years in prison in June 2024 after pleading guilty to assaulting officers with bear spray and a whip-like weapon during the attack in Washington D.C. Taake was released from a federal prison in Florence, Colorado, on Jan. 20, after he and more than 1,500 others involved in the insurrection were pardoned by Trump on his first day in office.
…
On Monday, Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare confirmed in a statement to Houston Public Media that Taake is still wanted under a pending state warrant for the alleged online solicitation of a minor in 2016.
Teare said his office had asked federal authorities to hold Taake in Colorado, due to his pending warrant in Texas, but that Taake was still released despite the DA's office faxing a copy of the warrant to the Federal Bureau of Prisons on Jan. 15, five days before he was pardoned.
Sounds like Trump’s DOJ was doing a sanctuary city thing for violent, right-wing pedophiles.
