This is me, inside the DC Jail. Pretrial detention. No conviction. No sentence. Just held. Pardoned January 20, 2025. Charges dismissed with prejudice by U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. — the case cannot be brought again.
I'm posting this so nobody forgets what happened. Not for me. For everyone who's still inside or still waiting.

George Tanios: pleaded first, walked. His codefendant Julian Khater did 80 months. I was in the same jail. He told me he was cooperating.
