If a Capitol Police Officer planted pipe bombs on January 6th, don’t you think there were other bad actors at play? Let me show you a few examples of police officer behavior that stood out on January 6th.. This is a much larger series that I’m about to dive into.. It’s past time..
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
🚨 Patriots, brace yourselves. This is the J6 entrapment story the feds DON’T want you to hear. I’m a Marine who risked everything to save lives during hurricanes. But two men I trusted—Marcus DiPaola and 1%Watchdog—set me up for YEARS, from 2018 to the Capitol chaos. Marcus? An admitted FBI informant who was at Sandy Hook, Ferguson, Ebola, my viral dog rescue, AND J6. 1%Watchdog? He directed us on Zello, got Oath Keepers convicted, but the feds won’t name him. I believe they were a fed team working to trap me. Today, I’m dropping PROOF that’ll expose this government cover-up. Going to drop each thread about 10 minutes apart starting NOW, and then after the thread is complete, I will continue adding evidence including motions and court docs tomorrow. Share this now—let’s demand justice! 🔥 #J6Entrapment #PatriotBetrayed #ExposeTheFeds
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
🌊 Let’s go back to September 2018, Hurricane Florence. I’m out there saving lives, coordinated by 1%Watchdog on Zello. We’d been working together since Hurricane Harvey in 2017—I trusted him like a brother. He sends me to a specific neighborhood in North Carolina. Guess who’s waiting? Marcus DiPaola, flashing a White House press badge. I’m a Marine—honor means everything. Marcus hands me a challenge coin, a symbol of brotherhood. I thought, “This guy’s legit.” But I was wrong… #SetupBegins #FedsInDisguise #HurricaneHeroes
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
🐾 Still in Florence, 1%Watchdog sends us all to Leland, North Carolina. I’m pulling people and dogs out of floodwaters—doing what Marines do. Marcus and his buddy, who claimed to be with Reuters, are filming everything. The dog rescue Marcus captured? It went VIRAL. That video landed me on the Ellen DeGeneres show, made me a hero to millions. I thought Marcus was just a journalist helping out. But now I see it—he and 1%Watchdog were building my profile. For what? I’d find out on January 6, 2021… #ViralSetup #EllenMoment #PatriotTrap
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
🕵️♂️ Let’s talk about Marcus DiPaola. This guy’s been at EVERY major event. Sandy Hook 2012. Ferguson 2014. Ebola in Chicago 2014. San Jose Trump protests in 2016, where he called 911. And then he’s with ME in Leland, NC, 2018. Here’s the kicker: Marcus admitted in 2020 that he became an FBI informant in January 2016, working until 2019. He even asked the FBI to tap his phone, email, Twitter, everything. This was DURING our hurricane rescues. Was he watching me? Reporting on me? I think so. Don’t believe me? Keep scrolling for PROOF! #SerialOperative #FBIInformant #Everywhere
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
⚠️ Fast forward to late 2020, weeks before J6. Marcus messages/calls me out of the blue: “Bring body armor. Gas mask too. Counter-protesters will be there.” How did he KNOW? He said he’d be filming at the Capitol after Trump’s speech. Meanwhile, 1%Watchdog—my rescue partner—had turned political. He pushed me and Oath Keepers to go to DC. He’d been on Zello since 2019, tracked by journalist Micah Loewinger, who knew militias like Oath Keepers were active there. I didn’t see it then, but they were setting the stage. You saw it before I did. #Foreknowledge #J6Setup #PatriotPawns
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
📹 January 6, 2021. I’m on the West Terrace of the Capitol, caught up in the chaos. I was part of a Zello channel that 1%Watchdog added me to, but I wasn’t active in it that afternoon—I can prove it. Still, here’s what 1%Watchdog did: At 2 PM, he makes his channel public. Micah Loewinger records him urging listeners to storm the Capitol, make citizen’s arrests, even kill in self-defense. Marcus? He’s BEHIND police lines, filming as barricades come down. Oath Keepers like Jessica Watkins and Holden Haney got charged with conspiracy using 1%Watchdog’s Zello audio. Stewart Rhodes got 18 years for seditious conspiracy in 2023. But Marcus and 1%Watchdog? Untouched. I say they were a fed team—Marcus filming, 1%Watchdog directing others. #J6Chaos #FedOperation #DoubleStandard
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
💔 After J6, the betrayal hit hard. I found a redacted FBI letter in my discovery: “I know he was there. Here’s his number. Don’t say I snitched.” That was Marcus. I knew because he added specifics that could only lead back to being him. And the worst part? He asked them not to expose his identify as a CHS because in his words, “I may have to work with him again..” The man who gave me a challenge coin—a Marine symbol I’d die for and saved lives together for—snitched on me to the FBI. WAS THE FBI! 1%Watchdog? He called J6ers “terrorists,” flipping on us like a fed pawn. But I say Marcus was an undercover asset, and 1%Watchdog was his partner, luring us into a trap. This betrayal cuts deep. #EntrapmentProof #J6Betrayal #MarineHonor
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
🔍 The feds are hiding the truth. Sundance from The Last Refuge was told they KNOW 1%Watchdog’s identity but to “drop it.” The J6 committee used 1%Watchdog’s Zello audio to convict Oath Keepers—but never named him. My legal filing names Marcus, 1%Watchdog, Ray Epps, and others as suspected informants or agitators, demanding FBI files. The feds won’t release them—why? Enrique Tarrio got 22 years for “planning” J6, despite not being in DC. 1%Watchdog did the same on Zello—yet still walks free! I say they’re fed tools. #FedCoverUp #SelectiveJustice #J6Truth
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
⚖️ Journalist Steve Baker was indicted in 2024 for J6 reporting—charged with interstate racketeering for just being there. Marcus? He filmed breaches, was with crowds spraying cops, and walked free. 1%Watchdog? His Zello audio convicted Oath Keepers, but the feds claim they “don’t know” him. My legal filing says the government might be shielding CHSs through Sedition Hunters or other agencies. This isn’t justice—it’s a government cover-up. And this? This is Douglas Brasher, the AUSA who withheld this info, protecting Marcus and 1%Watchdog. #DoubleStandard #J6Injustice #PatriotsPersecuted
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
🧨 Christmas Eve 2024, I’m in prison… An anonymous X message comes to my inbox.. Marcus’s archived 2020 thread where he ADMITS he was an FBI informant from 2016 to 2019! 😳 👉 https://archive.ph/jYVkv That’s the EXACT time I was working with him and 1%Watchdog during the hurricanes. He set me up from Florence to J6, and I believe 1%Watchdog was his partner in this fed trap. Tomorrow, I’m dropping screenshots, dates, archives—everything. Share this thread. Demand justice for patriots betrayed by these snakes. No more government cover-ups! The government knew about this and told me it didn’t exist. Furthermore, they shamed me for even suggesting Marcus worked as an undercover. I caught so much flack because I was over the target the whole time. As @McBrideLawNYC and I proved time and time again.. We were RIGHT about EVERYTHING! 💣 #ExposeTheFeds #J6Truth #DemandJustice
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
📢 Patriots, I need you. I’ve laid out the truth—Marcus DiPaola and 1%Watchdog betrayed me, betrayed us all. They used my honor as a Marine, my hurricane rescues, my viral moment on Ellen, to set me up for J6. The feds are protecting them, but we can’t let this stand. Share this thread EVERYWHERE. Tag influencers, news outlets, anyone who’ll listen. The coming days court and documents proof will blow this wide open. Let’s force the truth out—together. 🇺🇸 #J6Entrapment #PatriotFight #ViralBombshell

36 months in DC Jail & Beaumont Medium 🏢🔗—pure hell that carved me hollow. I’m out now, happy to be free 😊🚪, but damn, I’m stuck. I know what needs to be done—emails, posts, work, life 📧✍️—but I literally can’t do it. My brain hurts 🤕—like a dull ache that won’t quit. It hurts to work physically 💪, to stay on track mentally 🧠—I can’t complete a task, not one ❌. The knowledge is there, the ability’s there ✅, but I’m not functioning right now, and I’m sorry 😔. Prison shut me down ⏹️, rewired me to just survive, and now I’m clawing back ⬆️. System says get a job or go back to jail 👮♂️—I say I need to heal first 🌿. Book’s coming to fight this mess 📖⚡, but for now, please be patient with me 🙏. This is new—freedom’s heavy 🎒, and I don’t like this funk either 😣. Who’s been here, stalled post-lockup? Tell me—I’m listening 👇
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
Flight attendant saw my MAGA gear, and showed me her Trump Rally videos. When I told her I was a Pardoned J6er and in prison the last 4 years, the red carpet rolled out and free drinks started coming up. I feel like Dierks Bentley - “I’m getting drunk on a plane!” Thanks @AmericanAir Love yall! ❤️✈️🇺🇸☝️
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for pardoning me, saving my marriage, my relationship with my children, allowing me to go home to my family, and reintegrating back into society as a productive member. I will always be MAGA. Always be America 1st. Thank you to @McBrideLawNYC for making sure this started in 2021 and was seen and followed through with, including the call the night before inauguration. Thank you @BonnieNichols32 for standing by my side through it all. I love you.
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
My fellow J6ers.. I know you’re struggling.. So am I.. Here’s how we overcome! 🤝 https://t.co/oZ8rJHIF5v
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
I spent many days being tortured in the DC Jail next to this man. Dan Caldwell- my fellow Marine Corps veteran and J6er - You can come see me anytime you want. We went through one of life’s craziest experiences together, and will always hold that bond. I love you, miss you, and glad you’re free. Semper Fidelis, brother. You deserve the smile I saw today. 😎🇺🇸☝️
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
Do you know what it feels like to slowly watch your soul fade and die away? Sitting in that box for months on end made me physically feel my soul fade away. I’m working on lighting the candle to my soul again, and while I do that, I have to share about a man who was there when almost nobody else was. Joseph McBride.. - @McBrideLawNYC The man who went to mother fucking WAR with the United States Government, the Biden DOJ, the undercover feds, the FBI, CIA, DIA, DHS, to name a few. The man who risked his life to save mine. The man who came to rescue the rescuer. The man who risked the safety of himself and his family in search of the truth. The man who demanded I call him EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. The man who stared United States attorneys in the eye and made the AUSA look away out of fear. The man who put the government on blast on @TuckerCarlson - was harassed by the government about it - and turned out to be RIGHT. The man who walks the walk - and doesn’t do too much talkin’. The man who demanded my release after 2 years, and made a federal judge comply and then retire. The man who talked about Feds entrapping us before anyone else. The man who forced the DC judges to allow the first CCTV evidence to be released to the public. The man who calmed my wife and children while I was gone, and assured them he would get me home. The man at the front of it all, and the man behind the scenes. Joseph McBride is a great man. He saved my life. He was worth every penny spent. Thank you, brother. It’s an honor and pleasure to know you and be your friend. This is a picture of Joe picking me up in Rappahannock Regional Jail after winning our 3rd bond hearing after 22 months of incarceration. I was moved here after being assaulted and sprayed by Lt Lancaster during the spray incident there when she assaulted Ronald McAbee. We have so much more in store. See you in a few days, Joe!
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
Thank you for pardoning me and restoring my life President @realDonaldTrump I can now be a father, husband, son, business owner, and productive member of my community again. My family and I will always be thankful! The Golden Age of America has begun! https://t.co/Uei6B7eJo2
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
I’m resharing this because I don’t think you fully grasp the highlighted words.. This is a Federal Judge in Washington DC admitting he believes I was tortured, and should be released, but refused to let me go anyways. Imagine the green light this put on our heads when a corrupt DC Judge basically tells the world that, “Yes you were mistreated and abused, I should let you go, but I refuse to free you because of who you voted for.” By making this statement, it gave the DC Jail the permission they needed to go even HARDER on us. When you find out everything they did to J6ers on American soil, you’ll be sick to your stomach.
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
🚯CORRUPT DC JAIL OFFICER #2 This really should have been number 1, but number 2 will do.. Lieutenant Crystal Lancaster was in charge of overseeing the officers on our unit, and in the SHU (the hole). Her favorite source of abuse and torture was forcing men to wear Covid masks 24/7, and pepper spraying those who didn’t. The incident where Ronald McAbee was sprayed by Lt Lancaster was also the incident in which I was sprayed by her as well. I was a witness to this entire event, and watched her aggressively enter our pod looking to assault one of us. She ended up spraying McAbee, myself and 2 other guys simply because she wanted McAbee to wear his mask while simultaneously taking his medication, which isn’t possible. She pushed him, and he tried walking away and creating distance. She then followed him and sprayed him multiple times, spraying myself and others along the ways. After backup arrived, she ran McAbee face first into a brick wall, while spraying him again for the hell of it. It’s all on body cam video, and has been investigated by Congress. She has since been fired for this and other similar incidents, but nothing past that. How come I and others go to prison for pepper spraying, but she can do to the same to us with no consequences? This happened sooo many times.. This is merely one story of many. Where is the fairness and justice in that? Need more info on Lt Crystal Lancaster? Check out our motions and Habeas Corpus and other motions that are public information, and stand by for upcoming lawsuit brought by @McBrideLawNYC, @FormerFeds, and @Jon_Gross.
@RealRyanNichols - Ryan Nichols Sr.
The officers in the DC Jail who need to be investigated for corruption and abuse- 🧵🪡 Officer 1 - Lieutenant Allen (Male) One of the ring leaders of corruption and torture of American citizens and J6ers at the DC Jail. Have witnessed him both physically and verbally abuse both J6 and local DC inmates alike - including myself. My worst experience with Lieutenant Allen was when the DC Jail threw me in the SHU (the hole) for not signing a piece of paper. Literally. While there for 3+ weeks, the DC Jail officers who were under the supervision of Lt Allen and Lt Lancaster (who we will cover shortly) turned my water off for 24 hours because they were upset with what the inmate in the cell NEXT to me was doing. After 24 hours with no water, solitary confinement for days on end, and no end in sight, I became suicidal. I informed Lieutenant Allen of who I was when he came around. I informed him that I was an Honorably Discharged Marine Corps Veteran with diagnosed PTSD, feeling suicidal, and needed some help and to speak with someone. Lieutenant Allen laughed, walked off, looked back at me with a grin and said, “Hope you don’t die”, and walked out. It took me another 12-18 hours and telling 3 more officers that I was suicidal before 1 finally believed me and took me to medical, which is a completely different story for a different time. Just know that Lieutenant Allen has a checkered work past history, is abusive, and I believe had conspired with other officers there to mistreat all inmates, but ESPECIALLY J6ers. He needs to be removed immediately. He’s a danger to everyone there. Here’s his LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/telly-allen-865405177
