The record, so far

Robert Ballesteros is a Mahopac, New York man whose remorse moved the judge who sentenced him. FACT: Robert pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol. At sentencing, U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich said his remorse struck her as genuine, and she kept him out of jail. That is a judge — not a defense lawyer — putting his sincerity on the record. THE RECORD: On April 28, 2022, Robert was sentenced to 36 months of probation, 40 hours of community service, and $500 in restitution. A misdemeanor, a probation sentence, and a man the court believed was truly sorry. Charges are charges, and the record stands as written. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to roughly 1,500 people charged in connection with January 6. That clemency reached Robert Ballesteros. His neighbors in Mahopac know him as more than a headline. The court saw a man who owned his mistake. That's worth remembering. Case record: United States v. Ballesteros, No. 1:21-cr-580 (originally 1:21-mj-132), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 3/15/2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.

  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 Robert

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.
