Both Army veteran James Mault and his co-defendant Cody Mattice face an eight-year max at their sentencing in July.
James Mault admitted to a judge that, before he assaulted cops with chemical spray, he tried to convince them to join the mob, telling them they’d still have their jobs “after we kick the shit out of everyone.”

Feds cite this video of the brutal mob attack on police in their case against Army veteran James Phillip Mault -- aka #IronWorkerGuy -- in a court filing ahead of his scheduled plea hearing.
You can see Mault underneath the "STOP THE STEAL" flag in this image. Cody Mattice is to his left in the gray helmet. 
Background: huffpost.com/entry/james-ma…
Hearing underway for James Mault and Cody Mattice. Mattice’s lawyer expresses interest in resolving the case quickly. Says he’s “confident” they’ll come to a speedy resolution (aka a plea agreement). #IronWorkerGuy #CodyFromRochester huffpost.com/entry/cody-mat…
James Mault was interviewed by the FBI in January, before they knew about footage of him assaulting cops. He then reenlisted in the U.S. Army. He was arrested at Fort Bragg last month. huffpost.com/entry/james-ma…
Mattice is in D.C. jail, but Mault is in Virginia somewhere.
"Here we are, Capitol Hill. We're getting up front, and we're taking this shit."
Here's one of the videos filmed by Cody Mattice #FenceSnatcher before he maced police officers on Jan. 6.

"I served," James Mault yelled at cops on Jan. 6.
"This is our country! This is ours!... Wake up! Wake up!"
Not long after this, he assaulted cops, and then he rejoined the U.S. Army.

Both #FenceSnatcher and #IronWorkerGuy have been ordered detained until trial.
Before he stormed the Capitol and assaulted cops on Jan. 6, Cody Mattice planned on “pursuing a career in law enforcement,” according to his mom.
Mattice took a civil service exam to become a jail deputy, his mom said. He scored a 90.

The government is seeking Mattice’s pretrial detention. A federal magistrate judge in New York ruled he could go home, but there’s a hearing on the matter in D.C. tomorrow. huffpost.com/entry/cody-mat…

Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell of D.C. has stayed the order of a federal magistrate judge in New York, who said that Jan. 6 defednant Cody Mattice (aka #FenceSnatcher #CodyFromRochester) could go home until trial. He was caught spraying officers and ripping away a fence.
Here’s our coverage of the arrest of Cody Mattice and his buddy James Mault: huffpost.com/entry/cody-mat…
Down in North Carolina, a federal magistrate judge ordered James Mault detained.
Why was he in North Carolina? Because he lost his civilian job because of his actions on Jan. 6, but was allowed to reenlist in the U.S. Army.

When James Mault rejoined the Army, his photo was featured on the FBI’s Capitol Violence wanted page, and he knew he was under FBI investigation (because he spoke them). huffpost.com/entry/james-ma…
Judge: "His re-enlistment in the Army came after the apparent loss of the job he had been doing in New York because of his participation in the events of 6 January 2021.”
