The record, so far

James Burton McGrew was 40, a man with roots in Biloxi, Mississippi and a stretch in Carlsbad, California. FACT: His January 6 case was one of the serious ones. He pleaded guilty on May 13, 2022 to assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, and on January 20, 2023 was sentenced to 78 months. (DOJ; American Gulag.) We do not minimize the court record — it is stated plainly here. FACT: He did not fight the charge at trial; he pleaded guilty and accepted the sentence. FACT: On January 20, 2025 — two years to the day after his sentencing — President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants, and James was among those released. (American Gulag.) He served hard time and walked out under a presidential pardon. What he builds from here is the part still being written. His family and supporters are welcome to add it. THE RECORD Case No. 1:21-cr-398, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 05/28/2021. Indicted 06/11/2021. Superseding indictment 10/29/2021. Pleaded guilty 05/13/2022. Sentenced 01/20/2023 to 78 months incarceration, 36 months supervised release, 5,000 dollars fine, 2,000 dollars restitution. Clemency granted 01/20/2025. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.

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 James

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.
