As Trump’s team argues at his impeachment trial that nobody should take Trump literally, two Trump supporters (one from Georgia, one from Connecticut) who did will take him literally are about to have simultaneous hearings to determine whether they’ll be locked until trial.
A prosecutor is currently arguing that Patrick McCaughey III, caught on video crushing an officer with a stolen police shield, should be locked up pretrial.
“There is no self-defense claim here,” prosecutor says in McCaughey case. “He wasn’t using that stolen shield defensively, he was using it to attack officers.”
Russell Peterson, arrested in Pennsylvania today, appears to have first been identified because he Facebook live-streamed in the Capitol. Later, a tipster said, Peterson’s mother bragged on Facebook that her son “sat in Pelosi’s chair.”
His sweatshirt, featuring a stick figure humping the words “YOUR FEELINGS,” made him a bit easier to identify on surveillance footage.
Feds say that Adam Honeycutt changed his Facebook photo from an image of him with the Capitol in the background to a photo of him with a young child and seemed to be "attempting to downplay or hide his involvement.”
Referring to @RonanFarrow, judge in “Bullhorn Lady” case wonders why Rachel Powell would speaker with a journalist, “No matter how charming that reporter might be.”
Attorney for Powell said there’s no indication she’d ever been to the Capitol before Jan. 6. There’s also some discussion about a potential mask mandate if she is released pre-trial.
