Graydon Young - plea agreement and statement of Offense -both documents embedded

I’m going to repeat the last paragraph of the Statement of Offense is pretty important - and his plea agreement is pretty standard even the “covert law enforcement” section but it’s not as important

See the Official DOJ-OPA Press Release

See the Thread to Defendant Young’s June 23, 2021 Plea Hearing

!!! Alert. Jan 6 defendant and accused OathKeeper conspirator Graydon Young tells judge he will plead guilty. And will cooperate with prosecutors and testify before grand jury

Defendant Young’s signed plea agreement or via my public drive

Pleaded guilty to Counts 1 and 2 of SR4

Defendant Young pleaded guilty to: Counts 1 and 2 in the Fourth Superseding Indictment, charging your client with Conspiracy, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, and Obstruction of Congress, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2).

Factual Stipulations

Your client agrees that the attached “Statement of Offense” fairly and accurately describes your client’s actions and involvement in the offense(s) to which your client is pleading guilty.

Estimated Offense Level Under the Guidelines

As previously stated - the estimated level is 29

Government agreed to 3-level reduction

In addition, the parties agree that, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 5E1.2, should the Court impose a fine, at Guidelines level 26, the estimated applicable fine range is $25,000 to $250,000. Your client reserves the right to ask the Court not to impose any applicable fine.

Defendant Young’s Cooperation

Largely what you would expect - and pretty standard

Your client shall testify fully, completely and truthfully before any and all Grand Juries in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, and at any and all trials of cases or other court proceedings in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, at which your client’s testimony may be deemed relevant by the Government.

Restitution

Formulaically I am curious as to how the Government came up with Defendant Young’s $2,000.00 in restitution (which is mandatory)

Your client acknowledges that the riot that occurred on January 6, 2021, caused as of May 17, 2021, approximately $1,495,326.55 damage to the United States Capitol. Your client agrees as part of the plea in this matter to pay restitution to the Department of Treasury in the amount of $2,000.

Statement of Offenses

Via DDC-ECF https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/doc1/04518605034 or via my public drive

…the defendant, Graydon Young, with the concurrence of his attorney, agree and stipulate to the below factual basis for the defendant’s guilty plea—that is, if this case were to proceed to trial, the parties stipulate that the United States could prove the below facts beyond a reasonable doubt…

In advance of January 6, 2021, Mr. Young coordinated with certain individuals and affiliates of the Oath Keepers – referred to here as “the co-conspirators” – in making plans for what Mr. Young and the co-conspirators would be doing in Washington, D.C., on January 6.

Mr. Young and at least some of the co-conspirators discussed the need to maintain operational security and accordingly used encrypted messaging applications to communicate with one another.

On January 4, 2021, Mr. Young flew from Florida to North Carolina, and the next day drove with at least one of the co-conspirators to the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

The Stack… Defendant Young and Co-Conspirators

Some NEW details reads like there’s another person who hasn’t been charged

Mr. Young then joined together with at least some of the co-conspirators in walking up the stairs on the east side of the U.S. Capitol in a “stack” formation, with each person keeping a hand on the shoulder of the person in front.

At around 2:40 p.m., Mr. Young was present with at least some of the co-conspirators on the plaza outside the east Rotunda doors of the U.S. Capitol. At least some of the co-conspirators and other individuals pushed against U.S. Capitol Police officers and the east Rotunda doors, eventually forcing open the doors. The doors were significantly damaged. Mr. Young and at least some of the co-conspirators then unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol Building itself.

IMPORTANT 👇🏻

This proffer of evidence is not intended to constitute a complete statement of all facts known by Mr. Young or the government. Rather, it is a limited statement of facts intended to provide the minimal necessary factual predicate for Mr. Young’s guilty plea.
