Oath Keepers founder and president Stewart Rhodes was released from federal prison in Maryland on Monday after his sentence was commuted by President Trump.

The Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft met with Stewart Rhodes on Tuesday morning for breakfast. This was Stewart's first meal outside of prison in three years.

When we met I found out that Stewart was up all night. Two incredible patriots, Jenn Baker and Mel Hawley, drove to pick up Stewart as he was released from prison on Monday night.   They drove back to the Washington DC area early Tuesday morning and then stopped by the DC Gulag before we met up for breakfast.

Stewart was thrilled to eat something besides prison food. He had not slept at all but was overjoyed to be out of prison and with friends. And he enjoyed the restaurant's Cappucino, too.

During our breakfast discussion, Stewart explained to The Gateway Pundit that his sentence was commuted but not pardoned. That means he still must follow specific rules imposed on him by the court.

According to the current stipulations, Stewart cannot use social media, apps like Skype or Zoom, chat applications, or computers to research information for his upcoming book.

These demands severely hamper his ability to do research and communicate with his supporters.

Stewart hopes the Trump administration will remove these restrictions on his speech so he can freely communicate with Americans without the threat of another criminal charge.
