I never entered the Capitol on January 6th; I stood outside for eight minutes filming a video. I did not engage in or witness any violence or destruction. After posting the video, I was raided by the FBI and charged with felonies, eventually taking a misdemeanor plea deal. I question why some are upset about illegal immigration but not about the FBI raids on those who trespassed at the Capitol. Regarding my plea deal, I met with the DOJ as required, but the media misrepresented my situation. The documents revealed that none of the individuals I was questioned about were charged or convicted of any crime.

I have been accused, and it's been a paid campaign, of being a federal agent because I was at January 6 and did not get charged. However, despite being at January 6 and not trespassing, which is the crime that everybody was charged with, despite not being charged, not having committed a crime, I only had my bank account frozen for six months, I only was placed on the federal no fly list for a year, and I was only subpoenaed by Congress. I testified under oath when I was deposed as part of the subpoena last year, or I think that was rather in 2022, that I did not ever have contact with federal law enforcement at any time during or after any of the election riots or protests. This was a narrative that was cooked up. Nobody was saying this in 2021 or 2022 because all of my legal problems were publicized. I was on the no fly list, I had my money taken, I was banned from everything. It was only after Joe Kent was defeated in 2022 in the midterms that Max Blumenthal, Joe Kent's best friend, wrote a three part hit piece about me with his wife, Anya Parampol, accusing me of being a fed. They paid people, someone paid people, on Influencible to spread this article and the narrative that I'm a Fed. The claim grew that I gave a speech outside the Capitol and I said, we're taking the Capitol back, keep moving. They say I incited people to go in the building. The report says that none of their confidential sources on the ground were encouraging people to go in the building. There were undercover operatives or informants tasked to do that, but there were no undercover agents and out of 26 informants none of them were doing that. If the claim was I was entrapping people, that wasn't happening. The report also says that all the confidential sources were known to law enforcement before and were interviewed afterward. If I were one of the confidential sources, why would they make the mistake of freezing my money and putting me on the no fly list? The New York Times said they did charge me. I testified under oath that I never talked to law enforcement under penalty of perjury. So if anything, they’ve been saying Trump is gonna get in and blow the whistle. I wish he would on January 6 because if anything comes out, they could arrest me for perjury. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending myself from the feds; lawyers aren’t cheap. My lawyers, not cheap. I probably spent over 200,000, close to 250,000 in legal fees. All the money that I was given by the mysterious French donor, nearly all of it after it was unfrozen, I wound up spending on legal fees. I had to borrow money from people because my bank account was frozen for six months. I missed weddings of my best friends, funerals of my best friends because I was on the federal no fly list. I haven’t had banking services for four years. I haven’t been able to process a credit card for my business. I’ve been banned from everything—Facebook, Instagram; Twitter until May, not even a year ago. For years I spent defending myself from attacks as a racist and a Nazi and a Holocaust denier, then the tactic switched to accusing me of law enforcement, then gay, pedophile, the usual. The grand irony is that Tucker Carlson, a close friend of Max Blumenthal, collaborated on the piece; Tucker Carlson’s father is a federal agent, and during January 6 Tucker Carlson was not talking about election fraud and said he hated Trump. I’m pulling the veil back a little bit, because this is politics. The election was stolen, and there are these dynamics with Blumenthal, Kent, Tucker, and Max Blumenthal’s wife’s article in The Grey Zone.

Brandon Straka claims he was wrongfully charged and convicted by the DOJ and FBI for actions on January 6th, despite being innocent. He states FBI agents raided his apartment, arresting him on felony charges related to January 6th. Straka maintains he never entered the Capitol, engaged in violence, or witnessed any. The charges included knowingly occupying restricted grounds, impeding law enforcement, and disorderly conduct. The case was based on a video he shot and uploaded to Twitter. Straka says he was a scheduled speaker at a permitted event and filmed the scene to document it for his followers. He claims open barricades and a lack of police presence suggested no restricted access. Straka alleges the government misrepresented his actions, particularly regarding shouts of "We're going in" and "Go, go," by removing context. He also denies shouting "take the shield," claiming the FBI pressured him to take ownership of the act to avoid a trial. Footage shows him struggling to keep his camera up, unaware of the shield incident. Straka says he left when the building was evacuated. He believes the government's lies have damaged his life and career.

Brandon Strauch, founder of the Walkway campaign and Walkway social mobile app, attended the January 6th event at the US Capitol. He claims that he understood President Trump's speech as a call for a peaceful march to the Capitol. As he approached the building, he received messages about people entering it, which he found unusual. He filmed the scene outside the Capitol for about 10 minutes, showing a calm crowd. Strauch insists that he never entered the Capitol or engaged in any violence. However, his video was reposted by left-wing trolls, leading to his arrest and subsequent charges. He faced media coverage, eviction, and bans from various platforms.

I was part of the group arrested for the Whitmer kidnap plot, which was set up by the FBI. I was acquitted. I thought I was doing security work, but it turned out to be targeting Whitmer's cottage. I got charged for material support terrorism and felony firearm possession. The government lied about the situation. I urge people to take action to ensure real justice in the face of government overreach.

I'm Steve Baker, and I'm an independent journalist who was arrested for covering the January 6th protests. Despite working as a journalist, the FBI singled me out and charged me with crimes like disruptive conduct for simply being there. I was even asked to surrender in shorts and flip-flops, likely to be put in an orange jumpsuit, but my attorney negotiated against it. While being processed, I was cuffed, fingerprinted, and leg chained. An assistant US attorney named Adam Dreher is responsible for my case. Despite some support, no mainstream media has defended me. This is a clear case of political tyranny.

He says he was in Washington DC on January 6 and 'recorded video of two federal agents attacking the building.' He states he has 'given the FBI twenty nine minutes of high definition video' says, 'What what format do we got? MP four.' He adds, 'No copyright. I don't care about getting paid. I just want it out there.' He explains that, despite offering the footage, 'neither man's been arrested' and 'the FBI refuses to accept my offer to come in and give them a statement and all of the video that I took on the fifth, sixth, and seventh.' He says the FBI is 'desperate to keep their identities hidden.' He notes he has appeared on 'OAN and Newsmax' and 'played the video there.' He is in town this weekend. 'If you wanna have me on your show as a guest, I'm more than happy to go do so.'

Two years ago today on 10/17/2023, I was sentenced to sixty days in prison for trespassing outside the capital on J sixth. The judge during my sentencing said that I misused my platform as a candidate for elected office. If you don't know, my name is Ryan Kelly. I was the leading gubernatorial candidate in the state of Michigan in 2022 when the FBI raided my house on 06/09/2022, and they arrested me on misdemeanor charges, nonviolent, never even went inside the Capitol Building, was the leading gubernatorial candidate, election interference. I was the best poised to beat Whitmer. But, anyway, that's the point of all of this right now. The judge said that I had a lot of folks that followed me. I had a lot of folks that supported me. And with that comes the responsibility of not peddling lies and falsehoods. And he was talking about the twenty twenty election because I said it was a fraudulent stolen election. He was talking about January 6 because I said that the January 6 that there was FBI agents there that were setting the whole thing up and involved in the crowd. And what did we find out here recently? Oh, I was right, but I was sentenced to sixty days in prison for that. One of the biggest things the judge brought up that he had a huge problem with the Facebook posts that I had. Right? Freedom of speech. Poof. Gone. Kings do that kind of stuff. They don't let their people talk freely. Is that right? And then on top of that, you know, lying and misleading all of my supporters when we come to now find out there was 274 agents that were in the crowd that day on January 6. You know, it's obvious that the Democrats are the tyrants, the kings, if you will. Right? I mean, look at what they did with Kamala in the primary. Right? I don't need to explain it to y'all. But, you know, here we are. The Trump administration is removing illegal immigrants from our country and doing good things for America. It was the Biden administration, the Democrats that targeted American citizens. Red, white, and blue. Let's go USA.

John Strand, who was at the Capitol on January 6, provides an account of his actions that day. He states that his intention was to protect a scheduled speaker and denies any criminal intent. He explains that he never had the intention to break the law or act inappropriately. He describes how he and his client attempted to reach an elevated vantage point to give a speech outside the Capitol, but ended up being pushed towards the Columbus store entrance. He emphasizes that going inside the building was never part of their plan. He mentions that the doors were opened from the inside and denies the prosecutor's claim that he was an aggressive member of a mob. He recounts being stuck in a dense crowd and witnessing an officer falling, but denies any assault. He explains that they followed the crowd into the Capitol and were unable to find an exit. He describes his client attempting to give her speech while they waited and eventually being directed towards the east entrance. He expresses gratitude towards law enforcement and denies the prosecutor's misrepresentations of his actions. He concludes by stating that his sole intention was to protect his client and that the evidence on the government's own video proves his innocence.

The Supreme Court ruled that the felony charges against many January 6 protesters were unjust and should not have happened. We have been unfairly persecuted, prosecuted, and imprisoned. It is time to release my people.

The speaker, who was recently released from prison, clarifies that they pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding, not violent entry. They entered the Capitol through open doors and felt the need to protect the chamber and its occupants. They claim to have stopped theft, vandalism, and violence, and even tried to prevent others from breaking in. The speaker believes that January 6th was a setup to vilify Donald Trump and his supporters. They agree with Joe Rogan's comments that people who shouldn't go to jail are being prosecuted. The speaker also criticizes federal agencies and praises Joe Rogan's insight. However, the assistant later jokes about Joe Rogan's vaccination status.

I was part of a group arrested for a plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer, but it was a setup by the FBI. I was acquitted. I thought I was doing security work, but it turned out to be about the governor's cottage. I got charged with material support terrorism for taking a video. The government lied about my involvement. I urge people to take action to ensure real justice prevails.

I gave a speech outside the Capitol, assuming the building was mostly inactive due to the rally. I never considered entering, as the crowd couldn't force open the heavy doors. However, closed-circuit footage revealed the doors were opened from the inside. During my trial, the prosecutor misled the jury by showing a clip of a hand waving towards the door, claiming it was mine and portraying me as an aggressive mob member. This was deceptive, as I had worn black gloves all day, which the prosecutor was aware of.

It's clear that there were significant lies surrounding January 6th. Initially, I didn't suspect any involvement from law enforcement or military agencies. However, after interviewing Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who confirmed the presence of federal agents, my perspective changed. The narrative around January 6th has been misleading, particularly regarding individuals like Jacob Chansley, who was imprisoned despite being escorted by police. This raises serious questions about the labeling of the event as an insurrection. It was a moment of anger, not an armed coup. The treatment of Chansley and others is unjust, and the media's complicity in these lies is troubling. It's unacceptable to imprison someone for actions that were misrepresented, and the lack of accountability for those who lied is infuriating.

Brandon Straub discusses the impact of the January 6th committee, particularly criticizing Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson for their roles in what he views as a damaging narrative against Trump supporters. He shares his personal experience of being targeted by the DOJ and FBI due to his prominence as the founder of the Walkaway Movement. Despite not entering the Capitol, he faced severe legal repercussions, including overcharging and pressure to accept a plea deal based on false accusations. He expresses hope for a favorable change in administration, allowing him to share his full story after his federal supervision ends in January. Straub emphasizes the ongoing injustice faced by many January 6th defendants and the need for accountability.

Speaker at the Circle Of Peace, 500 feet from the Capitol, states, 'I was not on restricted grounds.' He says, among 2,000 January 6 defendants, they were 'either charged with trespassing because they were on restricted grounds,' or 'charged with some form of violence or vandalism,' or 'were involved in a militia,' and notes 'nobody on lawn even got charged.' He adds he was with 20 people who 'did not get charged' after he led them away. He claims he did not fit any of the three categories. He cites Brandon Straka's DOJ complaint, describing Straka 'reached the top of the stairs' and 'yelled, go, go, go' near the entrance, and notes Straka received 'three years of probation' after pleading to disorderly conduct. He cites Ray Epps, 'sentenced to a year of probation.' He concludes: 'If nothing happens to me... you're a fed' and 'If something happens to you, you're still a fed.'

Brandon Straka, creator of the WalkAway campaign, discusses the movement of people leaving the Democratic Party. He mentions that nearly a million people have joined the movement and shares that it is one of the most impactful grassroots movements in the conservative movement. Straka expresses disappointment that the RNC and Republican presidential candidates have not acknowledged the campaign. He also mentions being targeted and arrested by the FBI, but denies any involvement in the events of January 6th. Straka asks the Republican presidential candidate to learn about why people pleaded guilty to crimes they didn't commit. The candidate commits to pardoning peaceful January 6th protesters and promises to review each case individually.

I was scheduled to speak at a permitted event on Capitol grounds on January 6th. As I arrived, I learned that people were entering the Capitol. There were no police officers on the east side, and I walked through open barricades into a crowd. This led to my first felony charge for being on restricted grounds. After filming a video outside, the FBI raided my home, and I faced multiple felony charges. The government is overcharging individuals, forcing them into a difficult position of either going to trial or accepting a plea deal that they dictate. This has been a targeted effort against Trump supporters. I'm also part of the Walk Away Campaign, a movement of former Democrats encouraging people to think independently and move away from identity politics.
