The record, so far

Nathaniel DeGrave — Nathan — was living in Las Vegas, Nevada when January 6 turned his life upside down. (FACT: Las Vegas Review-Journal) He spent months in pretrial detention in the DC jail. In October 2021 he did something risky: he put his name on a public letter describing what he said were the conditions inside pod C2B — 23-hour lockdowns, isolation, medical neglect. He signed it as "a nonviolent participant at the Jan 6th rally." That letter went viral and put the DC jail under a national spotlight. (THEIR ACCOUNT: The Conservative Treehouse; The Post Millennial) He pleaded guilty in 2022 to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers. On sentencing day he got 37 months, three years of supervised release, $2,000 restitution, and a $50,000 fine. (FACT: DOJ; CBS News; Las Vegas Review-Journal) On January 20, 2025, the presidential clemency proclamation covered January 6 cases like his. (FACT) Whatever you think of his case, his letter is part of the historical record of how January 6 defendants were held before trial. Read it and decide for yourself. THE CASE RECORD Case No. 1:21-cr-90, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 1/28/21. Indicted 2/5/21. Arraigned 3/16/21, pleaded not guilty. Superseding indictment 9/15/21.

Why this matters for Nathaniel

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.
