The feds have submitted additional evidence against Capitol riot defendant Matthew Miller, who they are arguing should be kept locked up until his trial. 
“….the defendant was not only calling for others to assist in pushing through law enforcement, but he encouraged others and repeatedly attempted to push through with the crowd himself.” courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Miller’s defense, meanwhile, submitted letters describing Miller as "very cheerful," "kind-hearted and respectful of authority," "upbeat," "a genuinely good person," and "smart, generous, giving, hardworking, a good friend to others…"
Miller’s defense attorney talked to @alexwagner on @SHO_TheCircus, saying Miller “never would have marched” if it wasn’t for Trump. He said Miller “wanted to be part of history” and called Miller a “young and impressionable guy.” Says the mob acted at Trump’s direction.
“I think there’s a certain amount of regret... He is facing considerable time in prison based on the charges... while Trump is down in Mar-a-Lago enjoying his retirement.”
