Logan Barnhart works with his hands. He is a pipelayer from Michigan — construction, hard labor — and outside of work he competed as a bodybuilder. (FACT) On January 6, he was part of the violence on the Capitol's Lower West Terrace, and he was charged with assaulting an officer. Those are the charges, and he pleaded guilty to them. (FACT — charges are charges.) Here is what he did next, and it matters: Logan wrote a letter to the Capitol Police officer involved, Officer Morris Moore, and offered — in his own words — his deepest and most sincere apology. (THEIR ACCOUNT, quoted in court filings.) He wrote about the depression and anxiety that had followed. That is not the letter of a man proud of what happened. He was sentenced to three years. (FACT) On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. (FACT) A working man who did wrong, said so plainly to the person he wronged, and served his time. The court record: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, case no. 1:21-cr-35. Arrested August 17, 2021; pleaded guilty September 28, 2022. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
