Archive card · not a photograph

Isaac Westbury is a Lindstrom, Minnesota man who drove to Washington with his own family and came home to a federal indictment sitting alongside his father and his brother. FACT: Isaac Westbury is from Lindstrom, in Chisago County, Minnesota. FACT: his father Robert Westbury and his brother Jonah Westbury were also charged in connection with January 6, along with Aaron James, also of Lindstrom. Four men. One small Minnesota town. One case file. FACT: Rosemarie Westbury opened a GiveSendGo legal defense fundraiser for the family with a $50,000 goal. FACT: as of the Minnesota Reformer's reporting on it, $200 had come in. Two hundred dollars against a federal prosecution in Washington, D.C. Sit with that number. That is what a working family in Chisago County was up against. FACT: Republican state senator Mark Koran of North Branch publicly promoted the family's legal defense fund and called them "a good family." THE LEGAL FIGHT CHARGE ONLY, and this part matters more than anything else on this page: Isaac Westbury was charged, not convicted. The counts included civil disorder, assaulting or resisting officers with a dangerous weapon, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, an act of physical violence on Capitol grounds, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. Charges are charges. He is presumed innocent of every one of them. FACT: he was arrested October 4, 2021 and released on personal recognizance on October 12, 2021. He was never held. FACT: the statement of facts in this case was sealed, in part because defendants in the case had filmed inside the building. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: this archive has not obtained the sealed filing and cannot tell you what is in it. FACT: a jury trial was set for February 12, 2024. FACT: on January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. WCCO and CBS Minnesota confirmed the pardon process had begun for Isaac Westbury, Robert Westbury, Jonah Westbury and Aaron James of Lindstrom. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: the DOJ record mirrored in this archive shows no conviction and no sentence for Isaac Westbury. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: the archive has not pulled the full PACER docket to confirm the final disposition before clemency. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE: nothing here says the government's allegations are false. WHAT IT DOES PROVE: a father and two sons from Lindstrom, Minnesota were indicted together, raised almost nothing for lawyers, and their state senator had to go on Facebook to ask people to help.
