Doc 138 p.11 of 21. Section 3: Argues DOJ/Court mistaken grammatical interpretation. Word "otherwise" was intended to marry 1512(c)(1) and (c)(2) together. Notes Congress used "or" nine times in 18 USC 1512 to demarcate 20 separate methods; "otherwise" alone is inserted between (c)(1) and (c)(2) for unique constructive purpose.

Appeal to Deputy Director: mental health denied in SHU (4/27-5/17) (6/10/22)
Pink DC DOC Appeal-Deputy Director form (PP 4030.1 Attachment G) filed by Ryan Nichols (DCDC# 376795, C2B) on 6/10/22. Responds to Deputy Director response of 6/9/22. Of 6 dates mentioned in their response, he was actually only seen and helped by mental health 2 of 6 times (4/27 and 5/17). Was not seen by mental health on 5/6, even though he requested to be seen on 5/5 and 5/6. Mental health was not available; the chaplain only asked whether he was suicidal or not, and not (in worsened conditions) cell that he was in at SHU-A. On 5/7 (5/8) he was only asked questions through a glass for everyone around to hear, the same questions being are you still feeling suicidal. The same exactly happened on 5/9. Mental Health only once a month for documented PTSD/ICD-10 sufferer is wholly inadequate.

Two points: (1) Has been asking for Step 3 Warden IGPs for a week without response; numerous IGPs and C2B just received them today, hence the late response. (2) The IGP for mental health is not resolved: he did NOT get seen by mental health provider on 5/6 as stated in Formal response. Was seen by a doctor who then took him to a worse location than SHU; received no mental healthcare on 5/6, which is the day he informed the facility for the 2nd day in a row about suicidal ideation. Mental health staff put him on medical 82.

The Formal IGP, just like the multitude of others on this same subject, has not been answered by the facility in the timeframe allowed per policy. This is a recurring issue with this jail, and the issue should not be happening. This is how I lose my copies of responses, which does not allow me to hold anyone accountable, or complete my exhaustive remedies according to the Prison Litigation Reform Act.

Reason: DC DOC refusing to give a reason or explanation regarding a situation that became dangerous and affected him directly and other resulted in the termination of a Lieutenant. The facility asks for copies of our IGPs then purposely doesnt answer, stripping us of our copies and ability to follow up. Demands answers to these issues and is wasting more trust to show that this jail would rather ignore issues than (currently rather than) confront and fix the issues at hand.

Reason: DC DOC refusing to respond to these issues even when multiple IGPs have been submitted on the issue. Submits copies per policy, then has his copy taken and never receives a response, effectively stripping him of his paper trail on legitimate security and safety issues at the jail. The jail would rather try to use a loophole to not answer legitimate issues and while turning a blind eye to officers and staff who break their own policy, and also act criminal.

The response stated Non-Grievable - See attached and the attached said this issue in the grievance is addressed in Grievance # 20220512-238. Asserts that IGP is a totally separate issue and has nothing to do with this IGP. If the answer remains the same about the issue being investigated, he furthermore wants to send this to the Warden for an investigation response, which he never received. Notes he is not attaching his only copy until he receives a 2nd copy, as DC DOC is notorious for not responding to my IGP escalations, which strips me of my ability to have a paper trail and follow up. The IGP # at the top should work sufficiently, for an issue it has recently been responding to.

Sean McHugh — letter to Joe McBride (12-29-21) re: Jacob TDS, John Pierce, 92-115mo plea offer
Dated 12/29/21 letter from Sean McHugh to attorney Joseph McBride characterizing public defender Maria Jacob as his "public prosecutor not my public defender." Says Jacob would only consider a "public authority" defense to blame Trump for January 6; rejected the Declaration of Independence as a legal document; encouraged him to take a 92-115 month plea on Assault with a Deadly Weapon (federal officer) because she was "afraid they might use the terror enhancement" for a window-breaking charge. Notes he was charged with assault despite no victim identification or weapon found; the only alleged victim looks like an MPD officer, not a federal officer. The one motion Jacob filed sought investigation into Trump ("TDS — Trump Derangement Syndrome") and omitted his requested Comms between Pelosi, Schumer, Capitol Police, MPD, National Guard & Secret Service in days leading up to and on Jan 6th. Was thrilled when John Pierce took his case so he could fire Jacob.

Judge Hogan on the record: Ryan Nichols' due process rights were violated
Transcript page from Ryan Nichols' December 20, 2021 second bond hearing before Hon. Thomas F. Hogan. The Judge acknowledges 22-23 hour/day cell retention as "terrible, confining, and difficult" and accepts defense counsel's argument that Ryan's due-process rights were violated — "that should be another basis for his release." On the same page, attorney Joseph McBride lays out retaliation: the DC Jail confiscated Ryan's discovery and revoked his laptop access immediately after he raised conditions of confinement in his November 1 papers. Despite this on-record admission, bond was again denied.

Brandon Fellows page 1 — Police permission, FBI lies, Albany Jail intake
Page 1 of detailed letter from J6 defendant Brandon Fellows. Pre-arrest: police said he could enter Capitol as long as he didnt go further than statuary hall, didnt go past police-guarded areas, followed curfew - all on video. Day of arrest: agents at moms house, called him - lawyer told him not to talk without warrant. Cancelled meeting, went to news interview. After FBI arrest they "claimed I ran, tried to shove my phone up a candy vending machine and ditched my vehicle in the middle of a busy road, all lies." FBI impounded his bus. At first hearing prosecution shared lies to put him on house arrest with mother who abused him. FBI kept business/tax records and phone until a customer complained to police. Subsequent revocation hearings - prosecution lied to revoke, denied (stricter requirements); 2nd revo officer lied; 3rd revo granted over missed rescheduled therapy session. First 2 weeks at Albany Jail (less than) - cell with no sink, guards once/day, begging inmates for water, hot in just boxers, food not adequate, birds flew in and pooped during day.

No church, pastor, paper, pen. No kosher tray. Most days 15-30 min rec. Con-Air flights: black van 8am-12 or 2pm no AC, 10 in van, 1 man Curtis diabetic - officer Chad forgot food, said he was not allowed to leave area, finally a banana and granola bar. 3 days Troy: no law library, no contact with family, no rec, 5,000 bond, no church, no pastors. Grady County: marshals stole laces/belt, Con-Air 1: lady marshal reading file screamed "you aint shit" in his face in front of others on flight. He responded "I hope metaphase goes better for you soon" - caused 2 male marshalls to scream in face, physically threaten, force to back of plane sit on him entire ride. Con-Air 2: another angry woman, fell asleep mask below nose, woke up screaming "Mom Marshall", told to look at leaked Fauci emails that masks dont work. As punishment placed in "the box" restraint that makes it hard to eat.

Page 3 of Fellows letter. Punishment plane ride: Marshall moves him to window seat alone, said something would happen (would touch him out of frustration). Marshall picks two men - MS-13 member and cop killer - sits them next to Fellows, gives them cookies, tells them "you tell me if you need anything." Surprisingly respectful political debate - both men expressed Marshall should treat him better, said he wasnt a bad guy. Marshall confronts: "Whos your judge?" "Judge Stewart." "Ill let him know what a POS you are." Got in face shoved: "Youll be back on this plane." 2 other marshals told same lies. Van ride - mocks, calls terrorist, stupid; 5 min from jail: "Almost to your new home!" Arrival DC Jail - hears "Code ICU" called for stabbing victim. Waited 4-5 hrs before brought to cell. SouthWest 2 housed 2 weeks: no church, no pastor, no kosher tray, no legal library, inadequate nutrition. 1-2 hrs rec/day except Sunday no rec letting out. Everyone else got rec daily 4-6 hrs. Wrote requests for nurse multiple times, grievances nothing. "No fruit in meals so I didnt poop for 6 days straight." Day 5 wrote/verbal requests, no nurse - tried to self medicate by pulling hardened poop bit by bit with fingers. "No toilet paper so I just washed each poop-dig with sink water - no avail." Day 6 refused to enter cell until saw nurse - guards never came - chief came down. Finally got nurse, asked why in jail.

Alleges Jacob ran the DA’s PowerPoint at the detention hearing when prosecution’s wouldn’t open — "clearly indicating a conflict of interest and thus virtue signaling she’s playing ball on his team." Notes the DA is from Utah and that prior counsel Lexi Negin traveled to Utah for a week during transition of representation. References July 24 hearing where Maria said she had to waive time because she was not ready and government needed more time, and July 11 conversation about motions she promised to handle.

Sean McHugh — pro se IAC brief (cont.) re: Judge Howell, equal-protection, waived speedy trial
Continuation of pro se IAC brief. Describes Maria Jacob helping prosecution at detention hearing whose PowerPoint failed to load, coaching McHugh to "sit down, shut up and smile" and nod yes. Alleges Jacob released info to media pre-indictment claiming it proved his innocence while planning to implicate him; says releasing "Findings" from "Bias Judge Howell’s" detention hearing pre-indictment violated his equal-protection rights. Repeats complaints that Jacob waived speedy trial citing complexity/government not ready, refused to file motions, refused to provide detention-hearing transcripts (claiming they cost money and require justification), then claimed to have mailed them after he complained.

Sean McHugh — pro se ineffective assistance brief (caption + Lexi Negin / Maria Jacob narrative)
Caption page of Sean Michael McHugh’s pro se Ineffectiveness of Counsel brief, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Magistrate No. 1:21-MJ-436, labeled "Brief Outline to go into more detail later." Narrative begins by describing first federal defender Lexi Negin (Sacramento) telling him she is a BLM supporter, that if he were black this would be considered assault, and warning him not to fire Maria Jacob "once out in DC." Both Negin and Jacob waived his 30-day indictment rights; Lexi insisted Sacramento judges are "podunk hillbillies" and only DC "do findings." At his 2nd detention hearing, Maria "went out of her way to implicate my guilt without conferring with me."
