“Sir, I submit to you this letter in support of Ryan Taylor Nichols. He is a man of good character, faith, and core principles. Today, Mr Nichols will plead guilty after months of negotiation with the Department of Justice. I humbly ask that he receive fair consideration of the whole of circumstances regarding his case, condition, and background. He has already served nearly two years in the District of Columbia jail in pretrial confinement, which has been destructive to his physical (liver issues) and mental health (PTSD). Mr Nichols has been out of incarceration since November 22, 2022. Since this release into house arrest, he has not sought to flee nor shown any indication of dangerous activity. He has instead used this time to reconnect with his wife Bonnie and two sons, Ryan Jr and Blake, as well as recover from the stark conditions he was subjected to in prison.”

“As previously mentioned, Mr Nichols suffers from conditions that have been exacerbated by his time in incarceration. Several of Mr Nichols’ vital measures dropped to dangerous levels as a result of his time in solitary confinement. In particular, he has severe liver issues that require treatment. In his current in-home arrangement, he has been able to receive a regimen that has largely restored his health,” and blah blah blah writes MAGA Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins to DC Circuit Judge Royce Lamberth pleading the jurist to have mercy on the soul of Capitol rioter Ryan Nichols.

What Higgins, who plainly himself threatened violence each time his Orange God Emperor was indicted this year, leaves out is that Nichols assaulted Capitol police officers during the insurrection. Higgins himself is a former cop (who resigned while under investigation for an excessive force complaint), so it shows how much he “Backs the Blue.” Also is Nichols’s liver problem like a normal, natural liver problem or is it like a Steve Bannon/Rudy Giuliani-type liver problem?
