Defense outline p2: three drives, Aug 29 confiscation, Officer Swolwannii bodycam

Page 2 of the McBride opening-statement outline. Establishes three Nichols hard drives (two Files & Harrison thumb drives — red + blue — and one black 1 TB McBride drive). Notes that Officer Swolwannii at DC Jail let Nichols keep red drive during a McBride visit and the event is verifiable via Swolwannii bodycam. Itemizes Ingrid Washingtons Aug 29 2022 confiscation of hard drives, Sept move six days later with blue thumb drive stolen, no discipline charge, Marshals demand for FOIA. Argues DOJs position relies entirely on the Ingrid Washington affidavit which is provably false (Washington at CTF vs Nichols at CDF; all J6ers kept drives 6+ months).
