OK - at 2 pm, detention hearing of Will Pepe for Jan 6, @sdnylive Inner City Press reported DC cases last week innercitypress.com/ddc4meredithic… and will live tweet this - thread. Song: #insurrectionBlues soundcloud.com/innercitypress…

Presiding is SDNY Magistrate Judge Judith C. McCarthy. "Mister Pepe, can you hear and see me?"
Yes.
AUSA: This is a 5(c)(3) proceeding on a DDC complaint. Mr. Pepe has been arrested.
Judge: Any ID hearing?
Defense lawyer: No, he'll waive it.

Judge: This is not a trial, Mr. Pepe. This is an initial proceeding, on the arrest warrant signed on January 11.

William Joseph Pepe is 31 years old. Some college. No alcohol in the last 24 hours.

Judge: What's the process on a financial affidavit?
Defense lawyer: He intends to retain his own counsel. I've spoken to the firm. They are negotiating an engagement letter. I ask that I be assigned for presentment purposes only.

AUSA: Mr. Pepe was arrested yesterday at 1 pm in White Plains. We have reached a bail package. A $10,000 unsecured bond, release today on his own signature. GPS and a curfew from 10 pm to 6 am.

AUSA: He traveled to DC and went into the Capitol. He's been suspended from or lost his job, so curfew would not curtail employment. We want a stay away order for DC, in light of upcoming Inauguration, except for in-person court proceeding.

Judge is so-ordering it.

While Pre-Trial Services suggested that 2 financially responsible people co-sign the $10,000 bond, Judge McCarthy went with what the AUSA and defense agreed: no co-signers. Next proceeding Jan 22 at 1 pm.

Federal Defender says, Press, do no call us, we have no comment. And I advise Mr. Pepe not to speak to the press. Not a good idea. Where is his phone?
Pepe: It's in my possession, with my property. I have it right here.
FD: Fabulous.

Federal Defender told press to not wait around to ask Pepe questions, "It's Miller Time." We'll see - here's the story: Pepe Is Freed on $10,000 Bond by SDNY On Federal Charges, Warrant for His Phone Promised, While Coffman Detained in DC innercitypress.com/sdny1insurrect…
