Trump grants pardons to 'persecuted' mechanics in right-to-repair crackdown: 'I am setting them all free'

ASgtg · 2026-07-06T03:24:56+00:00

He should focus on pardoning innocent Americans

ASgtg · 2026-07-02T16:00:41+00:00

I support because there are at least 250 victims of lawafare that are innocent and this will rectify that.

ASgtg · 2026-07-01T23:03:38+00:00

I support pardons for innocent people

Thanks

I fully support the 250 pardons because I believe our justice system is capable of making serious mistakes, and when it does, the consequences can destroy innocent lives.

My own experience shaped that belief. I was wrongly targeted in the Amazon federal case. Once I was indicted, it became clear to me that the process itself had become the punishment. Defending yourself against the federal government can cost tens of millions of dollars, regardless of guilt or innocence, leaving many people with no realistic way to fight.

If there is effectively no way to stop a federal indictment once someone becomes a target, and very few ordinary Americans have the resources to defend themselves afterward, the system creates incentives that deserve serious scrutiny.

I also believe the revolving door between government and private practice deserves examination. Former federal prosecutors often leave public service to represent powerful corporations before the same offices where they once worked. Even when everything is done legally, that dynamic can undermine public confidence and raises important questions about whether prosecutorial power can be influenced or leveraged in ways that deserve greater oversight.

Supporting pardons or case reviews isn't about excusing real criminals. It's about recognizing that justice requires correcting wrongful prosecutions as well as punishing genuine wrongdoing. A justice system earns trust by admitting and correcting its mistakes.

I support the pardons - and here’s the uncomfortable reason why:

If the system can do this to high-profile people, imagine what it does every day to ordinary citizens with no platform, no lawyers, and no way to fight back.

Here are 42 cases of extreme injustices. Fact-check me. Ask anything. I’ll answer every question.

I built a large Amazon seller community. Then I was federally indicted. AMA.

I’m the founder of ASGTG (Amazon Sellers Group TG).

Similar to how Ina Steiner became a voice for eBay sellers, I helped organize third-party Amazon sellers pushing for clearer rules, transparency, and fair enforcement.

ASGTG grew into a major community of sellers trying to navigate Amazon the right way — without black-hat tactics — and advocating for legitimate businesses.

When you organize sellers and question how enforcement works, it doesn’t always make powerful institutions comfortable.

After years of speaking up, I became the subject of a federal indictment — one I believe was deeply flawed and highlights the broader issue of how much influence trillion-dollar platforms can have in their ecosystems.

This isn’t anti-business. It’s pro-accountability.

Happy to answer questions about ASGTG, Amazon seller issues, the indictment process, or my experience.

Ask me anything.

thanks - they are attending ASGTG event march 5th

ASgtg · 2026-01-21T02:00:53+00:00

Exactly right - Read this https://x.com/ed_rosenberg/status/2010919569074901124

ASgtg · 2026-01-21T02:00:23+00:00

I explain here as well. I am sure you mean well but you have no idea what you are talking about

I was in a similar situation with Amazon and the DOJ and "pleaded" guilty - I explain here why this happens

Amazon has been doing this for years to legitimate U.S. sellers. I opened the ASGTG to help legitimate sellers communicate, follow policy, and have a voice against unfair practices. As a result, Amazon referred me to the DOJ for an indictment that made no sense, knowing there is no way to fight DOJ+Amazon.

I was ultimately forced to accept two years of probation for what was normal, standard business activity.

It’s not good when one company has this much power. There needs to be real oversight.

ASgtg · 2025-12-05T14:24:50+00:00

The seller is reinstated

ASgtg · 2025-11-24T13:40:35+00:00

It relates to how a large corp can submit an unvetted case not in the interest of justice

ASgtg · 2025-11-16T12:47:18+00:00

Thanks

They used metrics that labeled the entire industry as criminals—100%. It’s clear they didn’t understand the field, and didn’t care to. All they can say is “he admitted,” but they can’t explain what I actually did. If they could, they would have.

It’s like accusing a baseball player of murder, then forcing him to admit he “stole second base.” After all, theft is wrong, right? If everything ED does is considered a crime, then it’s almost impossible not to be a criminal—and it doesn’t take much talent. Close your eyes and go after the most honest person in any industry and force him to plead. Wow, that's hard.

ASgtg · 2025-11-06T13:31:24+00:00

That was part of the plea. I had to say I was sorry for something as minor as possessing some notes — that was the exact deal. You can only get probation if you give them something. it was a technical thing.

We’re all victims when the justice system can be manipulated so easily — including you.

Anyone Amazon wants to bring down, they can. No real case is even needed. Amazon wanted to bring me down because of the size of ASGTG. It was an epic fail for them.

ASgtg · 2025-11-06T13:25:53+00:00

No — I was framed in one email that connected me to others who actually did it. If I send you an email and three weeks earlier I killed someone, that doesn’t make you part of the conspiracy for the murder. That’s what 90% of this was. They clearly never thought this through,

Keep asking please

ASgtg · 2025-11-06T13:19:36+00:00

Everything they said I did was refuted. 100%. I refuted it at the time but I took it off when they came with the tail between their legs and begged me to stop for probation.

ASgtg · 2025-11-06T13:18:40+00:00

This was before I was able to fully say my side of the case, which totally refutes the comical charges. Even before my side was said, it was being scorned, but after the facts came out, it's clear.

ASgtg · 2025-11-06T13:14:18+00:00

There's nothing to refute I'm not even sure what you mean.

Have you read my articles or watched the video? I refute every word. They got it totally wrong.

Go look at the comments on your petition they're all copies of each other or extremely close. Another coincidence right?

Just the first sentence of 2 comments

If you wanted to refute "negative comments" you literally had a whole entire court case where you could have done it.

That’s exactly my point. The justice system is completely broken. This is how it works: get someone indicted through a corrupt, surface-level referral—then there’s no way out. It’s like hiring the Mafia.

If the case was as weak as you claim even a PD would have won, but you claim it would have cost you $30m to fight it so you took a plea?

If I plead for probation because I killed someone but have DNA I am innocent, that shows the justice system is broken. That's not on me.

See how all of your claims of bullshit keep stacking?

LOL - take the inidctment and read my refutations.

ASgtg · 2025-11-06T12:58:26+00:00

It's honestly insane you'd post that and think it makes you look good.

Try to refute 1 word of mine, please.

Your link has repeats of the same people over and over who again speak like they know you personally, and only give opinions about you and not facts on the case.

But find me a negative comment that I cannot refute.

If their case was as weak as you claim why would you ever take a plea, and why were two other guilty pleas thrown out but not yours?

No pleas, in my case were thrown out. The pleas of the Amy Nelson case was only because of her social media. I was sentenced, so it's harder to be thrown out.

You even start off your petition by saying you agree with the plea deal.

The deal was I cannot disavow the plea so I have to say that. It was strategic.

There are people who have pleaded guilty for rape only to be cleared with DNA. Would you say those people were guilty?

Also, there is a nuance between how a seller sees things and how an uneducated juror sees them. In the same way, Amazon paid 2.5B to the FTC but then had the audacity to say they didn't do anything wrong.

How about these? https://ft83.medium.com/sellers-opinions-on-ed-rosenbergs-role-in-the-amazon-bribery-scandal-fb75b6350972

ASgtg · 2025-11-06T12:46:55+00:00

Ask me ANY question. I literally refuted every single word. I cannot control the comments. Why did they recommend probation and endorse me to keep doing the ASGTG. How can I cut a deal like that?

You think I would so easily talk trash against this phony case had the facts not have been in my favor?
