Joshua Knowles is a working man from Gilbert, Arizona — a pool repairman by trade, reported by supporters to be exactly the kind of ordinary tradesman the January 6 dragnet swept up (THEIR ACCOUNT, via his American Gulag profile). Look at what the government actually charged. FACT: Four misdemeanors. Entering a restricted building. Disorderly conduct. Parading. That is the list. FACT: He was not charged with any violence. Not against police, not against property, not against anyone. FACT: The complaint against Joshua Knowles was not even filed until August 15, 2022 — more than a year and a half after January 6. He was arrested August 31, 2022. FACT: On January 20, 2025, the presidential clemency proclamation ended every remaining January 6 prosecution — full pardons for the convicted, dismissal ordered for every pending case like the ones built on charges such as these. A pool repairman from Gilbert, Arizona. Four misdemeanors. Zero violence. That is the record on Joshua Knowles. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:22-mj-182, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed August 15, 2022. Arrested August 31, 2022. Covered by the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
