J6 political victims: If you or someone you know has been wronged or imprisoned due to the events of January 6, contact The Ticktin Law Group at (561) 232-2222 or McCloskey Law at (314) 721-4000 (office) or (314) 580-3185.
A powerhouse legal duo has teamed up to seek reparations for January 6 political victims.
Trump attorney Peter Ticktin and Mark McCloskey have joined forces to seek compensation for the hundreds of American Patriots who were persecuted and held hostage in prisons across the country in the wake of the protests at the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021.
The whole event was a setup.
What began as a peaceful protest quickly devolved into a chaotic scene as Metropolitan Police lobbed flash-bangs into the crowd, dousing them with CS Gas and shooting them with rubber bullets.
For attempting to exercise their First Amendment rights—”to peacefully assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievance” for what they believed was a stolen election—these Americans have been called traitors, domestic terrorists, and violent insurrectionists. For four years, they were hunted, persecuted, arrested, and imprisoned by their own government.
Now, this story of legal warfare and political persecution will have a new chapter: Justice.
The Attorneys
Peter Ticktin, a seasoned attorney who played a key role in uncovering the truth about January 6, 2021, and reported directly to former President Trump—45, now serving again as 47—brings unparalleled legal expertise to the fight.
Ticktin began his legal career in 1972 in Ontario, Canada, where he worked as a barrister, mostly in the criminal courts. Today, Ticktin is the senior partner at The Ticktin Law Group in Deerfield Beach, Florida. He is also a close childhood friend of President Trump.
Ticktin met Donald Trump when they both attended New York Military Academy for high school. They became life-long friends. He wrote a book, “What Makes Trump Tick,” about serving as Trump’s platoon sergeant.
When Ticktin began his practice in South Florida, he led the fight in redressing the wrongs perpetrated upon AIDS victims. Ticktin also served as lead counsel on the only organ donation case to ever get to trial, prevailing in a 2-week Court TV trial over an organ procurement organization that prematurely harvested the organs of a 7-year-old child who was not brain dead.
For his close relationship to Trump, Ticktin also became a political target of the left.
In November 2022—following a dismissed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and many others, whom he alleged conspired to undermine the 2016 presidential election—U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks of West Palm Beach—appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1997—ordered Ticktin and others on Trump’s legal team to collectively pay $50,000 to the court as a sanction and an additional $16,274 to defendant Charles Dolan, a Democratic PR executive, for his attorneys’ fees and costs.
Middlebrooks ruled that Ticktin and the rest of Trump’s legal team violated federal court Rule 11 by filing a fact-free, “performative” political lawsuit.
Trump’s attorneys are not giving up. The case has been appealed.
In his new partnership with McCloskey, Ticktin will now seek compensation for the January 6 political victims.
McCloskey—a well-known defender of Second Amendment rights—has been practicing law since 1985.
Mark and his wife Patricia gained national attention during the BLM riots following the death of George Floyd.
On June 28, 2020, as angry BLM rioters swarmed around their property in a private neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri, the McCloskey’s stood defiantly outside of their home—armed.
Patricia held a handgun. Mark, an AR-15.
The McCloskey’s also learned what it’s like to become the target of a government that is hostile toward your political beliefs.
On July 20, 2020, following their efforts to defend their lives and property against the BLM rioters, St. Louis circuit attorney Kimberly Gardner filed charges against the McCloskey’s.
On June 17, 2021, the McCloskey’s pled guilty to misdemeanor offenses, Mark for fourth-degree assault, and Patricia for harassment.
Mark received a $750 fine. Patricia was forced to pay a $2,000 fine. Their firearms were required to be surrendered and destroyed. In August 2021, the McCloskey’s were both pardoned by Missouri Governor Mike Parson. In February 2022, the Supreme Court of Missouri suspended the McCloskey’s law licenses indefinitely, but stayed the punishment and imposed one year of probation.
“My wife and I were the first people to stand up against BLM, and we bore the brunt of the aggression on that, which is still going on,” Mr. McCloskey told Unleashed.news.
As the persecutions of the January 6 protesters ensued, McCloskey immediately began reaching out to his contacts to see if they were interested in pursuing a compensation claim.
“Somewhere very early in that process, I was contacted by Peter Ticktin, and since then, we’ve been joining our forces together to represent the J6 political prisoners in compensation claims,” McCloskey said.
The Lawsuit
While the lawsuit is still in its formative stages, Ticktin told Unleashed.news that “The ultimate goal is to give compensation to these people for the wrongs that were done to them.”
McCloskey said there is overwhelming evidence to prove that the Biden administration “conspired to deprive the J6 defendants of their constitutional rights for political reasons and these folks need to be compensated.”
“We intend to file individual claims for the people that were most grievously abused,” McCloskey clarified, “and the hope would be that we also can set up a restitution compensation program with the DOJ.”
The list of civil rights violations of the Jan-6 protesters is lengthy.
Fourth Amendment rights were violated during unreasonable searches and seizures when the FBI and federal marshals stormed their houses. Sixth Amendment rights were violated as cases dragged through the court system. Some prisoners were incarcerated for up to four years without a trial, and the juries were hardly impartial. Eighth Amendment rights were violated as prisoners were subjected to inordinate fines, excessive prison sentences, and punishments that are disproportionate or cruel.
The Questionnaire
To facilitate the individual lawsuits by J6 political victims, an online questionnaire was created by Ticktin and Jason Sullivan, who helped lead investigations into the truth about what really happened on January 6, 2021. Investigative journalist Patricia Tolson assisted in drafting the 100+-point questionnaire.
Sullivan was featured in an exclusive report written by Patricia Tolson for The Epoch Times on October 20, 2022 regarding an internet sting operation he conducted on J6.
“We captured a tremendous amount of exculpatory evidence in real-time from Twitter throughout the day on January 6, 2021, as they feverishly worked to systematically delete and scrub it from the platform—thousands of posts, videos, and images from mobile devices, recorded from countless vantage points,” Sullivan told Unleashed.news. “We know precisely what happened and who the key players were in this information operation. This evidence was presented in great detail to the January 6th Committee, yet they deliberately ignored it and failed to admit any of it in their findings. However, Trump attorney Peter Ticktin received a full copy shortly thereafter. January 6 was a carefully orchestrated setup.”
Since then, Sullivan has worked closely with Ticktin as the lead investigator specializing in Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and forensic investigations for The Ticktin Law Group.

The January 6 Civil Action Questionnaire serves as a tool for former J6 political victims who want justice.
Some of the most critical questions include:
- Q50: Were you read your Miranda Rights at the time of arrest?
- If defendants were not informed of their rights, any statements they made could be inadmissible in court, strengthening wrongful conviction appeals.
- Q53–Q54: Were you detained before trial? Were you denied bond or bail?
- Highlights due process violations, showing that J6 defendants were treated more harshly than violent criminals who often receive bail.
- Q71: Were you under duress when signing the plea deal?
- Many J6 defendants accepted plea deals under threats of excessive sentencing. This question could support claims of coercion and prosecutorial misconduct.
By documenting abuses, legal violations, and financial persecution, the form will provide the foundation for lawsuits, public accountability, and will potentially inspire congressional investigations into the weaponization of the justice system against J6 participants.
The Real Insurrection
Both Ticktin and McCloskey agree that an insurrection did occur on January 6, 2021.
However, the real insurrection was not perpetrated by supporters of Donald Trump but rather by the Biden administration.
It has been well established that there were provocateurs embedded in the crowd, to incite violence and to entrap the protesters.
Known ANTIFA members were caught changing into MAGA gear to infiltrate Trump supporters. Ray Epps was captured on video encouraging Trump’s supporters to go into the Capitol Building and talking to a suspected provocateur just moments before that individual began breaking through bike rack barriers.
A federal prosecutor admitted that three undercover Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers acted as provocateurs at the northwest steps of the Capitol.
The New York Post reported that the FBI had 26 informants at the Capitol on January 6, “and most were involved.”
The MPD also created an “Electronic Surveillance Unit,” plainclothes assets planted among the protesters to record interactions between protesters and law enforcement. They could be recognized by law enforcement by the multi-colored wristbands they would be wearing.
Nancy Pelosi rejected President Trump’s request for support from the National Guard.
As the riot was escalated by provocateurs, then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund issued multiple pleas for deployment of the National Guard and other additional support to Pelosi. All were rejected.
Sullivan noted that plastic fencing and warning signs were deliberately rolled up and removed an hour before President Trump’s supporters left his speech and peacefully marched toward the Capitol.
“Bodycam footage captured undercover law enforcement agents actively instigating and even physically pushing protesters toward the Capitol,” Sullivan said.
“Bicycle racks were taken away, and a timely report of two suspicious bomb threats at the DNC and RNC ultimately diverted a large portion of Capitol Police and MPD, leaving security stretched thin at the precise moment of the first outer perimeter breach,” Sullivan added. “And then there was a Ukrainian military videographer with ties to the Azov Battalion who entered the U.S. Capitol to document events. What was he doing there?”
According to Ticktin, there is sufficient evidence to prove who the real criminals are.
“We have enough evidence to prove who orchestrated January 6… and it wasn’t the J6ers. These people planned an insurrection,” he said. “This is not a game. These are people who should either be in prison or hanged.”
“If You Stick Your Head Up… We Will Crush You.”
Joe Biden’s administration insisted that the persecution of J6 participants was to seek justice. Ticktin and McCloskey insist that what the Biden administration did to J6 political victims was intended to make examples of them by destroying their lives.
Ticktin noted how the “awful consequences” heaped upon J6 victims were largely for misdemeanor offenses.
“We had people who were in solitary confinement,” Ticktin explicated, clarifying that the solitary confinement imposed on Jan-6 prisoners “was something more horrible than what’s legal.”
“We are aware of the fact that instructions were sent down that J-6 Patriots were to be given very harsh treatment,” Ticktin said. “The cruelty of the prison officials is a form of horror that was laid down by the people who took over our government.”
According to McCloskey, the government’s message to the American people was clear.
“If you stand up for your rights, if you stick your head up, we will crush you. We will destroy you. We will bankrupt you and your family, and we’ll make your life a living hell for the rest of your life,” McCloskey asserted. “There was an insurrection that day, but it wasn’t the people supporting Donald Trump. It was the government that set up and entrapped a large group of people into a situation that was preplanned.”
“When the American people become aware of what the government did on January 6, and what they did to persecute the people afterwards, I think the American people will be shocked,” McCloskey predicted. “I think they will be so offended by what happened, and so afraid of ever letting this happen again, that it will never recur.”
Sullivan also believes that the coming lawsuits will be eye-opening.
“As this avalanche of J6 cases progresses through the courts, I am confident that explosive revelations will emerge, exposing the full truth behind January 6th,” said Sullivan.
“Justice is coming.”
