I represented a 69-year-old veteran caught in the J6 investigation after he attended a Trump rally, believing the election was stolen. Despite being innocent and never near the Capitol, he faced a subpoena and was labeled a criminal target by a politicized DOJ. I spent nearly two years defending him, fearing the bias of a DC jury would lead to wrongful conviction. The treatment he received from the DOJ and FBI was bullying and demeaning. While I don’t condone the actions of those who broke the law on January 6, I believe many like my client were unfairly targeted. I'm glad Trump took action, hoping to restore integrity to the DOJ.

Thoughts on Trump’s J6 pardons: I represented a 69 year old Vet in the J6 investigation. He retired to SE North Carolina in the mid 2000’s from a career in the US military’s special forces, a total patriot, and a guy who had, in his long career, travelled every corner of the globe, protecting America and defending our freedoms. He wanted, and was enjoying a quiet life. In the 2020 campaign, he was active in Trump’s re-election campaign and when he felt it was stolen by Big Tech, mail in ballots, and a corrupt media that lied to the nation, he was so upset about the outcome, he went to DC to the Trump Rally. He never got within a half mile of the Capital building. But thanks to Biden’s DOJ, and the politicization of the J6 investigation, he ended up receiving a subpoena to appear before a Federal Grand Jury in Washington DC, was identified as a criminal target, and found himself right smack in the middle of the investigation pushed by a corrupt President and Attorney General Merrick Garland. He spent retirement money hiring me to help him, and I spent nearly 2 years, successfully, standing between him and the awesome power of the Federal Government. But for the grace of God, and our unrelenting efforts, did he avoid formal charges. I was never worried about his guilt; he was COMPLETELY innocent and someone you would want defending this nation. Someone you would want to spend time with. What did worry me, however, was what would happen to him if he were indicted in a Washington DC federal court. Had that happened, despite his innocence, he would have, 100% guaranteed, been convicted because of the DC jury pool. Why do you think the DOJ brought every charge, in DC? Leverage. That is why. I wish you all could have been in the formal debrief we were FORCED to attend with the Assistant US Attorney from Merrick Garland’s DOJ, and the ‘Counter terrorism’ Special Agent of the FBI. It was held at the local Wilmington FBI field office, over off of Shipyard Blvd., We walked in, cameras all around, the atmosphere palpable with the weight of what might happen to this man if these two arrogant, power-hungry people opted to charge him. The prosecutor and SA of the FBI were not only arrogant, but rude, mean, ethically challenged, and made this veteran feel like he was an inch tall, although they knew he had done nothing to warrant their attention or ire. They were bullies. I sat there and did my job defending him, interjecting a number of times, forcefully, to prevent them from degrading his service and life. Eventually, they threw up their hands, said “Well, sir, we hope you don’t get charged, but if you do, we will see you and Mr. White in a Federal Courtroom in DC”, and left. He was a basket case. Under a physical disability for injuries sustained in combat, he used a cane to make it to his car, and with little to say, climbed in, started the engine, and was about to leave but before he did, asked me “Why is my country doing this to me?” I did not have an answer. I do not condone the few dozen people who acted out on January 6, injured the Police and disobeyed commands. But for the vast majority of those prosecuted - over 1,600 people -, I suspect they were treated as poorly as my client, were fearful of a worse outcome in DC if they went to trial, and were victims of a politicized justice department that did not tell the nation the full truth of what really happened. So, I am glad Trump took the action he did, and hope that he will restore honor and objectivity to the US DOJ.
