The record, so far

Daryl Johnson — St. Ansgar, Iowa. Population 1,100. FACT: Daryl was 51 on January 6, 2021. He is a small-town business owner. Reporting on his case lists what he runs: laundromats, a tanning salon, and a car wash. That is not a resume. That is a man who owns the places a small town actually needs. FACT: His family has been civic in St. Ansgar for a long time. His father, Norman Johnson, is a former mayor of the town and a well-known local businessman. FACT: Daryl went to Washington with his son, Daniel. They were charged together and they answered for it together. FACT: He was inside the Capitol approximately 26 minutes. He pleaded guilty on 1/4/22. On 6/1/22 Judge Dabney Friedrich sentenced him to 30 days — well short of what prosecutors asked for — plus one year of supervised release, a $2,000 fine, and $2,000 restitution. FACT: He paid the $2,000 restitution. He served the 30 days. He went home to a town of 1,100 people where everybody knows his name, and he kept the doors open. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency covering January 6 defendants. Here is the part nobody wrote a headline about: the laundromat still opened. The car wash still ran. Small towns do not have backups. When a guy like Daryl goes away for 30 days, a whole town feels it — and he came back and kept it going. If you are from St. Ansgar and you know what this family has done for that town, tell it. That is what this page is for.

How verification works

  1. 1

    You claim the profile

    Sign in (or sign up free), then submit your DOJ case number, a mugshot or pardon record, or a court document showing this is you. Takes a couple minutes.

  2. 2

    Ryan reviews it personally

    Every claim is checked by Ryan against the DOJ docket and public record. Imposters get rejected. You only need to do this once.

  3. 3

    Profile becomes yours

    Once approved, this page comes down and a fresh case-builder takes its place. You can upload photos, scanned documents, embedded TikTok / YouTube / X videos, your testimony in your own words. Everything you upload waits for review before going public.

Why this matters for Daryl

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.
