Jan 6

In my own words. Updated periodically.

Inside the DC Jail. Pretrial detention, before the pardon.

January 6th, 2021 changed the trajectory of my life. I'm not going to relitigate every minute of that day on this page. What you'll find here, over time, is the plain account: what happened, what I did, what I didn't do, what the government said about me, what was true, what wasn't, and where I am now.

I went to prison. I came home. I was pardoned. I lost a business. I lost time with my kids. I gained perspective I would not trade.

When I write here about Jan 6, I'm writing it the way I would tell it on my porch, not the way a press release would tell it. The newer posts on thefeedare where I'm working through it in real time. This page collects the longer, settled pieces.

More long-form pieces are being written. Subscribe in the sidebar to get them when they go up.
