Very few men have ever waited longer to be exonerated than James Reyos has. He is an amazing guy: a quiet loner who is super-focused on clearing his name so he can finally go home to the New Mexico rez where he grew up. tinyurl.com/vyxyus72 end/

Quote Tweet

Well, “Attorney for Trump Campaign 2024,” best of luck 1) getting paid, and 2) not being dis-barred.

Here are portions of my transcript from the J6 committee testimony. And they expect us to take their investigation seriously. What a joke! #J6Committee #ShamInvestigation #2020Election #RiggedElection #TrumpWon
