The Accountability Index
Every person named in the documented record of United States v. Nichols — organized by where they sat. The officials who ran the detention. The prosecutors who charged it. The judges who ruled. The informant questions. And the counsel, allies, and witnesses on the other side of the ledger. This page is the index; each name links to exactly what the record says about them. Some are accused of specific conduct, some acted in Ryan's favor — read it and judge for yourself.
57 people of record. Sourced from grievances, court filings, and Ryan's first-person account.
