The record, so far

Dustin Byron Thompson — Columbus, Ohio. FACT: He graduated from The Ohio State University in 2008. He worked as an exterminator and at a pawnshop — ordinary, unglamorous work, done honestly. (Washington Post; CBC) FACT: In March 2020 he was laid off when the pandemic hit. Unemployed, isolated, and by his own account he went down the rabbit hole online. That is a story a lot of Americans recognize from those months, whether they admit it or not. (Washington Post) THEIR ACCOUNT: At trial he testified he believed he was following presidential instructions. The jury rejected that defense in under three hours. His account is his account; the verdict is the verdict. Both are recorded here. (CBC; ABC6) FACT: Convicted 4/14/22 on all six counts, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding. He admitted taking a coat rack and a bottle of bourbon. Sentenced 11/18/22 to 36 months, 36 months supervised release, $2,000 restitution. (DOJ) FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency in January 6 cases. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: No verified fundraiser or self-published account located.

Why this matters for Dustin

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.
