We Filed an Appeal
The government asked the court to dismiss the charges against us with prejudice. The judge granted it — reluctantly, he said. Then he used the order to declare us guilty anyway. Even though we defeated the case at the appeal level, and the appeal court dismissed our convictions.
His opinion called January 6 "a siege by an angry mob of thousands," which is simply not true, and concluded that dismissing our case "excuses criminal acts" that were "crimes against the United States itself."
Just More Lawfare Against Me
The convictions had already been dismissed by the appeals court. And yet the order reads like a prosecution closing argument — language that will follow us, our families, and our names long after this case is closed.
A judge's words carry the weight of the state. When those words are wrong, they do not fade away. They become "the record."
We are raising our hands and saying: No! That is not right. That is not what happened.
(Our notice of appeal is attached below.)
Truth Must Prevail
We are appealing, not the dismissal, but inflammatory language. We said from the beginning that the truth would come out. This is the next chapter of that promise. Thank you for standing with us.
