JD Rivera is an independent videographer/cinematographer who traveled to DC on January 6th with no other intent than to document the rally and surrounding events. When the "story" made its way to the Capitol Building, he did what any video journalist would do and followed that story. Two weeks later, JD was arrested by the FBI and charged with four misdemeanors. Rather than taking a deal -- pleading guilty to crimes he did not commit -- he has decided to go to trial, (which is scheduled for next week). One of the most interesting aspects of this interview is our detailed discussion about the differences in how the DOJ has selectively prosecuted independent journalists who covered that story. Some, like JD, were charged with crimes, others were threatened but not charged, and some have never even been contacted by the FBI. We explore "why."
JD served 10 years as a U.S. Marine, is married with six children, had his life completely upended by the aftermath of January 6th, but believes he must stand up for what's right and face a federal judge . . . knowing his freedom is on the line.
