Judge Failla: Are you being treated by a doctor?
McBean: Did I ever go to a doctor?
Judge: No, is your mind clear today, for this proceeding?
McBean: Yes.
Judge: Do you waive your presence?
McBean: Yes, I'll make this video.
Judge Failla: If you plead guilty, and I accept your plea, there will be no appeal of whether you committed the offense. Do you understand?
McBean / Jeezy Mula: Yes, Your Honor.
Judge Failla: The maximum term of imprisonment is thirty years in prison.
Judge Failla: Do you have other open cases?
McBean / Jeezy Mula: The one in Westchester, and another in the Eastern District.
Judge Failla: What is the status?
McBean: Could my lawyer answer that?
Lawyer: Open indictment in EDNY, I'm not the attorney of record.
Defense lawyer: There is also a violation of supervised release proceeding before Judge Sullivan.
Judge Failla: I remember that one.
[Inner City Press too - we reported: innercitypress.com/sdny4jeezymula…
McBean / Jeezy Mula: Could I speak with my attorney one last time before the plea?
Judge Failla: Ms. Noriega, can you set that up.
Thread will continue
They're back; Judge Failla discloses to McBean's counsel that she had a short discussion with AUSA Chan, about the signing of papers, going into the Office / Chambers, etc. All fine.
Judge Failla: Do you admit to the forfeiture, $55,000?
McBean: Yes, your Honor.
Judge Failla: You and the government have agreed to a stipulated guidelines range starting at 63 months, correct?
McBean / Jeezy Mula: Yes, Your Honor.
Judge Failla: And you should receive credit for the time you are serving on this Westchester County case.
Judge Failla: You are agreeing not to appeal any sentence between 63 and 78 months, correct?
McBean / Jeezy Mula: Yes, Your Honor.
AUSA Andrew Ken-Wei Chan: We would show that the defendant and William Valdez were arrested after a car chase with debit cards in others' names. We have surveillance video of AMTs in the SDNY, text messages from Valdez' cell phone
Judge Failla: Mr McBean, who do you plead?
McBean / Jeezy Mula: Guilty, your Honor.
McBean's lawyer: Can we put off sentencing in light of the EDNY matter?
Judge Failla: Might your client want to Rule 20 that case to over here?
Judge Harvey: Sir, I'm sure you were told in the jurisdiction of arrest - and where was that?
Pepe: Southern District of New York. My attorney John Pierce is working to get me local counsel. For today, I'll take the public defender.
AUSA: Up in the SDNY, he was allowed to travel only in SDNY and EDNY. We want that and GPS monitoring continued.
Judge Harvey: GPS in the community?
AUSA: And I'm not aware of any curfew.

Gordon (not Gordan, mea culpa) - I would like the court to appoint an attorney for me.
Judge Harvey: Are you paid $75,000 a year?
Gordon: No.
Judge: How much in the bank?
Gordon: Nothing, as of today.
Judge: Ms Peters is appointed.
AUSA: We ask that he stay away from DC, except for court.
Pre-trial: Possess no firearms.
Defense: AUSA conditions are appropriate, not pre-trial's.
Judge Harvey: By Tuesday, verify your address. In Colorado, was it?
Gordon: No, Louisiana.
Judge: You told me that.
OK - another #insurrectionBlues case in DC: Andrew Williams, 32, has medical training. Charged with unlawful entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Inner City Press will live tweet - thread below. Song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
Williams was arrested in Florida. He has paid / retained counsel in DC.
Judge G. Michael Harvey: If at some point you can no longer afford counsel you can apply for one...
AUSA: An information has been filed in this case.
Judge: Let's arraign him.
AUSA: We are asking that he surrender passport and remove all firearms from his residence.
Judge Harvey: Pre-trial, anything?
Pre-trial service: No narcotics, courtesy supervision in Middle District of Florida.

OK - now #insurrectionBlues case @sdnylive of Jeffrey Sabol, charged and arrested in connection with the assault on the U.S. Capitol on January 6 - Inner City Press will live tweet - thread - for now, song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
Magistrate Judge Andrew Krause is presiding. On Jan 20, he ordered detained another #insurrectionBlues defendant, Patrick Edward McCaughey III, for "crushing" Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodges. Inner City Press story: innercitypress.com/sdny2capitolmc…
Sabol did not fill out a financial affidavit. Federal Defenders will represent him only for presentment, and says Sabol may not qualify, will retain his own counsel.
[Elsewhere in SDNY, Columbia U "dirty doctor" Hadden has been ordered to pay $100,000 in fees]
OK - more serious #insurrectionBlues conditions requested for Hunter Allen Ehmke - "no firearms at all, & GPS monitoring," which other Jan 6 defendants today in DDC have not gotten. Inner City Press will live tweet from here, thread. Song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
Pre-Trial: With GPS he'll have to get approval to leave the Central District of California, not just the state.
Judge Harvey: Any problem with getting courtesy supervision?
Pre-Trial: No. What about any passport?
Ehmke: My passport was seized, by FBI I believe.
Ehmke's lawyer: We don't believe electronic monitoring is needed. He's charged with a felony, but only because of the dollar value of the window. So we want the standard conditions.
AUSA: We vehemently disagree. There's video of him kicking out a Capitol window
OK - another #insurrectionBlues case, rare female defendant Jenny Louise Cudd, third in a row before DDC Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey. Inner City Press will live tweet - thread below - song incl Judge Harvey here: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…

media platform." Oh.
Cudd: Half way through my Masters program.
Eliel Rosa, also on the line, is 53. He is getting a free lawyer -
Cudd has her own retained counsel. Here is a photo from the US affidavit
