Prosecutors have released a number of documents and text messages in the case against Ronald Colton McAbee (aka #threepercentsheriff). He traveled up to D.C. with his friend #ScaryCherry3P, who is FBI 266-AFO and was named at detention hearing (but hasn’t been publicly charged).

The overwhelming scope of the Jan. 6 investigation is working in defendants’ favor. Here, a magistrate judge who ordered #threepercentsheriff released pretrial suggested the FBI didn’t act quickly enough to arrest him after learning his name. documentcloud.org/documents/2106…

Text messages between #ScaryCherry3P and #threepercentsheriff included a link to this interview:

#ThreePercentSheriff: “Hope FBI doesn’t come looking for you.”

#ScaryCherry3P: “I wasn’t in the building, I was exercising my 1st Amendment.”

#ScaryCherry3P: "I'm still testing positive for the China virus, just an FYI."

#threepercentsheriff: “I ain’t worried… Just don’t kiss me..”

#ScaryCherry3P: “I’m not wearing a mask either lol.”

#threepercentsheriff: “Free the lips!”

“I’m at peace with death and what I might have to do.” — #ScaryCherry3P

Anyway, a hearing on #threepercentsheriff’s detention is set for Wednesday. Here’s the government’s argument: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
