Judge: Cody Mattice's "mindset in describing his actions as something 'every day Americans' would do to promote their political beliefs is a troubling indicator that defendant’s willingness to engage in violence for his political ends on January 6 may not be an aberration.”

Chief Judge Beryl Howell ordered Cody Mattice detained pretrial during a court hearing last week, but here’s the written order.

The judge said Cody Mattice’s actions "demonstrate a complete disregard for the law and willingness to use force to achieve political ends, raising serious concerns about the danger that defendant poses if released pending trial.”

No reference to Cody Mattice’s underwear in the written memo.

“We're getting up front, and we're taking this shit."
