Earl Jordan
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageEarl Jordan is a man from Dickens, Iowa — a town of a few hundred people in the state's northwest corner — whose January 6 case ended the way every American case is supposed to be presumed to begin: with no conviction at all. That is the headline fact (FACT): Earl Jordan was never convicted of anything related to January 6. He pleaded not guilty, and no jury ever heard the case. The timeline (FACT — DOJ announcement and Sioux City Journal coverage): nearly four years after January 6, 2021, federal agents arrested Earl, then 50, in the fall of 2024, alongside his brother Christopher of St. George, Utah. The government's complaint alleged felony counts of assaulting or impeding officers and civil-disorder obstruction, plus misdemeanor entry and disorderly-conduct counts, based on video from the West Front. Earl Jordan answered the five-count indictment the way the system allows every citizen to answer: not guilty (FACT — Sioux City Journal, November 2024). Those charges were allegations. They were never tested at trial, never proven, and this archive will not present them as anything more. Weeks later, President Trump's January 20, 2025 proclamation directed the dismissal of all pending January 6 prosecutions (FACT). Cases in the Jordans' posture — indicted, awaiting trial — were dismissed (DOCUMENTED INFERENCE from the proclamation's directive to the Attorney General). Two brothers from Iowa and Utah stood accused together and walked away together, records clean of any J6 conviction. That is the complete court record of Earl Jordan of Dickens, Iowa. CASE RECORD - Charged by complaint, then five-count indictment, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia - Arrested: fall 2024 · Plea: NOT GUILTY (November 2024) - Charges: felony assault/civil-disorder counts and related misdemeanors — allegations only, never adjudicated - Resolution: pending prosecutions dismissed pursuant to the January 20, 2025 proclamation This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
