My latest: As Trump’s lawyers asked senators to acquit yesterday, an “embarrassed” Trump supporter who believed Trump's mass voter fraud “B.S.” asked a court to free his 18-year-old son, who stormed the Capitol with a baton while in D.C. with his parents. huffpost.com/entry/bruno-cu…
“I myself feel pretty embarrassed… we believed these people and be disillusioned that there was no big reveal, and nothing came out. It’s disillusioning, disheartening and embarrassing, quite frankly.” huffpost.com/entry/bruno-cu…
“I feel like I maybe should’ve known a little bit better at my age,” Joseph Cua said. “At some point, you’re like, ‘I think this is a bunch of B.S.’” huffpost.com/entry/bruno-cu…
A chief federal magistrate judge in Georgia wasn’t buying it.

He called Bruno Cua’s parents "aiders and abettors” of their son’s crimes, and said they "didn’t take steps to stop their child from going off the rails.”

The defendant is headed back to DC.

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.

“This is our house! This is our country! This is our country!”

Feds bust a right-wing artist with help from his work photo at his commercial real estate company, where he’s a vice president.
Feds used his art website too.
"(Witness 2) informed law enforcement that they went to school with BARNES and that they knew BARNES attended Anderson High School.”

Add it to the list. huffpost.com/entry/facebook…

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.”
