The record, so far
Daniel Johnson of Austin, Minnesota went to Washington with his dad. His father, Daryl, came from St. Ansgar, Iowa, just over the state line. On January 6 the two ended up inside the Capitol together for about 26 minutes (FACT — DOJ). When it came time to answer for it, they did that together too: father and son both pleaded guilty to civil disorder rather than fight the case (FACT — DOJ press release; CNN). Daniel was sentenced on June 1, 2022 to four months, a year of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution — less than the six months prosecutors asked for (FACT — Law and Crime; We Are Iowa). He served it and went home. On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation issued full pardons for January 6 convictions, including Daniel's (FACT). A father-and-son case from the Iowa-Minnesota line: they went together, took responsibility together, and were pardoned together. THE CASE RECORD Case No. 21-cr-407, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 6/11/21; initial appearance 6/17/21. Arraigned 7/27/21 (not guilty plea); pleaded guilty 1/4/22. Sentenced 6/1/22 to 4 months in jail, one year of supervised release, and $2,000 restitution. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.

Why this matters for Daniel
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.
