Feds are seeking to detain John Sullivan, the subject of this @andrewmarantz piece, ahead of his trial: newyorker.com/news/us-journa…
"The defendant was a brazen, vocal participant in the disruption and disorder surrounding the events on January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol. Since his release on stringent conditions on January 15, 2021, he has repeatedly flouted court-imposed conditions.”
Detention memo says he tried to access Twitter accounts he was restricted from using, and appears to have tried to get his supporters to zoom bomb a court hearing. (The memo also says he’s been indicted, but indictment isn’t yet posted.) courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Yeah, that’s not going to go over well with the court.
Here’s the six-count indictment against Sullivan, including a civil disorder charge. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: Feds bust a pair of Trump supporters after they held up their bus trip back to Pennsylvania and one bragged about entering the U.S. Capitol. huffpost.com/entry/trump-bu…

"According to open-source research, RYAN posted ‘Weee' on the photograph below.”

Jenna Ryan’s Facebook habits help build the case against her fellow private plane passenger, Katie Schwab. ImageImage
"According to SCHWAB, some of the videos that RYAN posted made members of the group look 'bad’.”

ATTENTION EVERYONE WRITING ABOUT HOW A JUDGE APPROVED A CAPITOL RIOT DEFENDANT TO GO TO MEXICO: A judge did not, in fact, approve a Capitol suspect’s trip to Mexico.

You’re looking at a proposed order.

It is not signed.
See that? It’s an attachment, and it says “Text of Proposed Order.” There’s not even a name, or a signature, or a date on the proposed order, which, again, is a proposed order.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Also it’s a lot tougher to blame your mistake on the outlet that made the original screwup… if your story doesn’t even credit the outlet that initially screwed up.

"During his January 6, 2021 appearance at the Capitol, Defendant was adorned sartorially with attire befitting his Shaman beliefs, replete with horns, fur, and visible but resplendent tattoos to which Defendant attributed meaning."
Al Watkins, the eccentric St. Louis-based attorney representing QAnon Shaman, went with a Wikipedia citation on Shamanism. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
The D.C. Department of Corrections, per filing, was unable "to find any religious merit pertaining to organic food or diet for Shamanism Practitioner.”

Smart story from @joshgerstein on the legal battle over the civil disorder charge, which was pushed by segregationists in the 1960s. Feds deployed the rarely-used law against BLM protesters last year, now they’re using it against Capitol insurrectionists. politico.com/news/2021/02/0…
@joshgerstein Got into some of the legislative history here, noting that Sen. Long specifically singled out H. Rap Brown and Stokely Carmichael: huffpost.com/entry/anti-rio…
@joshgerstein This filing flagged by @joshgerstein delves even further into Sen. Long’’s segregationists and white supremacist views. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"I think it is possible I could pursue someting in politics," Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling told the Boston Herald a few weeks ago. bostonherald.com/2021/01/10/u-s…
Lelling, in a statement about the murder of two FBI special agents, raises the “defund the police” movement, but doesn't note that the “political squabbles in D.C.” included a years-long attack on the bureau, led by the president who appointed him. huffpost.com/entry/fbi-atta…
Rudy Giuliani, an attorney for the former president of the United States of America, referred to FBI special agents as “stormtroopers,” and then defended his use of that term. cnn.com/2018/05/18/pol…
