An updated list of our stories about Patrick Tate Adamiak
Thanks again to all who keep requesting this.
by Lee Williams
Patrick “Tate” Adamiak was arrested more than four years ago even though he never committed any crime. More than 40 officers led by ATF Agents kicked down his doors and ripped apart his home.
They found nothing illegal—not a thing—yet he’s starting the fourth year of his 20-year federal prison sentence.
Bottom line: He is completely innocent.
For those of you who have asked, here’s Tate’s address:
Patrick Tate Adamiak
#95252-509
Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix
PO Box 2000
Joint Base MDL NJ, 08640

Lee Williams is one of the very few journalists who has consistently exposed the Tate Adamiak case for what it really represents: the dangerous power of unelected federal agencies to destroy the lives of Americans through manufactured interpretations and unchecked bureaucratic authority.
When this all first started unfolding, Tate's lawyer contacted me about potential help with the case given my background. Sadly, things went so sideways so quick I never got the chance.
