The record, so far

Bradley Rukstales built a career. He was the chief executive of Cogensia, a marketing-data company in the Chicago suburbs, and he lived in Inverness, Illinois. (FACT — CBS Chicago; NBC News) Then came one day that cost him nearly all of it. Bradley did not hide behind a lawyer's spin. His own words: ''It was the worst decision of my life.'' (THEIR ACCOUNT — UPI) He was among the first people in Illinois to plead guilty. He pleaded to a single misdemeanor — parading in the Capitol — and was sentenced to 30 days and $500 in restitution. Within days of January 6, his company placed him on leave and then terminated him. He lost the business career he had spent decades building. (FACT — CBS Chicago; The Hill) On January 20, 2025, his case was included in President Trump's clemency for January 6 defendants. (FACT) A successful executive, a very public fall, and full responsibility taken on the record. People are more than their worst day. THE RECORD (charges are charges): Case No. 1:21-cr-41, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 1/11/2021. Pleaded guilty 8/31/2021 to a misdemeanor; sentenced 11/12/2021 to 30 days incarceration and $500 restitution. DOJ file: justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/rukstales-bradley This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.

Why this matters for Bradley

Most J6 defendant case files sit locked inside law firms. The public hears soundbites. They do not see the grievance forms denied without a hearing. They do not see the water shut off. They do not see four years of constitutional rights violated, one piece of paper at a time.

We put it in public. All of it. Every defendant who joins. One airtight record the government cannot refute. That is how this case is won.
