In its myopic mission to punish political dissidents, the Justice Department and D.C courts are destroying the basic tenets of American jurisprudence and liberty.
Ethan Nordean is entering his 13th month of captivity as a political prisoner in the United States of America.
Arrested in his home state of Washington last February on nonviolent charges related to the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021, Nordean, 31, has spent the past year in jail, mostly in solitary confinement. He hasn’t held his young daughter or hugged his wife and parents for months.
In the eyes of the Biden regime—on a destructive crusade to exact revenge against supporters of Donald Trump—Nordean is a threat to the country, an alleged “domestic violent extremist,” i.e., terrorist, as a member of the Proud Boys. That, of course, is not the group that burned, looted, and actually terrorized thousands of American communities throughout 2020, responsible for at least two dozen deaths and $2 billion in property damages.
Nordean’s real crime in Joe Biden’s America was to support Donald Trump in the 2020 election. During an exchange last year at a congressional hearing between FBI Director Christopher Wray and Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Wray suggested Nordean was among the “most dangerous, most serious” January 6 criminal cases.
So, what exactly did Nordean do that so alarmed Wray? Like hundreds of thousands of Americans, he made plans to travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in a political protest—something that was not considered a crime before January 6, 2021. Nordean and other members of the Proud Boys peacefully assembled near the Washington Monument in the morning and then walked toward Capitol Hill.
When some members of the Proud Boys and at least two FBI informants with the group physically breached a police line around 1 p.m. on January 6, Nordean was not among them.
Surveillance video released in his case by court order—and over the Justice Department’s strenuous objections—shows Nordean walking through an open door on the west side of the building as Capitol police stood by. He neither carried a weapon nor assaulted police officers; the most serious charges against him are conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding, two nonviolent felonies.
Sworn affidavits filed in the case show that Nordean had plans to return to his Airbnb rental in D.C. by 3 p.m. on January 6, where Michael Graves, a former lead singer of the punk rock band the Misfits, intended to perform for Ethan and his friends. Not exactly the kind of schedule that lends itself to violently toppling the seat of government.
Yet Ethan Nordean, a man with no criminal record who is not accused of committing any violence on January 6, has been incarcerated since April 2021.
There are many villains in this case—Wray, Attorney General Merrick Garland, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves, and the D.C. appellate court, among others—but the man most responsible for Nordean’s captivity is Judge Timothy J. Kelly, appointed to...

This travesty of justice will be a black mark upon the nation for a good long time. It is to all our shame that this jail has not been stormed and those guys set free. This is simply incredible that it has been allowed to go on for so long.
