Prosecutors have been filing similar status reports on how discovery is going in a bunch of Jan. 6 cases, here's an example of one: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2098…

A few highlights:

There's no language predicting how many more new cases to expect beyond the 500+ filed to date, but they note that there are open investigations in 55 of the FBI's 56 field offices (I've asked which one doesn't have any cases, will update if I get a response)

Their list of evidence includes specific line items for Parler, the social media platform that, as we prev. described it, was "favored by conservatives and extremists" and used "to stoke fear, spread hate, and allegedly coordinate" events on Jan. 6 buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpa…

There's a reference to the contract with Deloitte to create a database for allllll of this material, which @joshgerstein and @kyledcheney reported on last week: politico.com/news/2021/07/0…

@joshgerstein @kyledcheney Defense lawyers have asked the govt "about investigations into officers who were alleged to have been complicit" and the govt says they're preparing to turn over materials — no other details, but recall some defs have claimed officers expressed support/didn't try to stop them

@joshgerstein @kyledcheney Addendum: The court unsealed filings from the govt asking for permission to disclose grand jury materials to Deloitte, the private contractor hired to help create a database for the mountain of evidence collected in the Jan. 6 investigation s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2098…

@joshgerstein @kyledcheney Here's the govt's supplemental brief after the judge asked them to address a DC Circuit ruling that limited the court's power to approve disclosure of grand jury materials. Govt argues Deloitte contractors are "government personnel" under the circumstances s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2098…
