A hearing for Danny “D.J.” Rodriguez (who attacked D.C. Officer Mike Fanone) is underway.

Rodriguez is eligible for court-appointed counsel, but the D.C. federal public defender is swamped. So his federal public defenders are from Nevada.

Rodriguez is now consulting with lawyers. The group @1600PennPooch surfaced the video of him electroshocking Fanone, and he was identified by sleuths and antifascists. Rodriguez was arrested a month after this HuffPost story: huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…
Magistrate judge read out the maximum penalties for all the charges Rodriguez faces. Up to 20 years. Up to 5 years. Up to 20 years. Up to 10 years. Up to 10 years. Up to 1 year. Up to 1 year. Up to 10 years. He’s now been arraigned, and entered standard not guilty plea.
Capitol defendant Anthony Antonio, who was arrested earlier this week, told the FBI he saw “death” in Officer Fanone’s eyes when he was seized by the mob (and electroshocked by Rodriguez).
Danny Rodriguez, per lawyer, wants to go to trial as soon as possible. Magistrate Judge Michael Harvey says he’ll enter an order to transport Rodriguez to D.C. jail (He’s currently still being held in California).
Albuquerque Cosper Head #unlucky13 and Kyle Young #AscendDad were arrested last week in connection with the assault on Officer Fanone:
Some suspects wanted in connection with the attack on Officer Fanone remain at large:

- FBI 63-AFO #gasmaskguy
- FBI 112-AFO #hitlerstalinmao
- FBI 113-AFO #thewincer
- FBI 114-AFO #marinehatmask

I’m aware of solid tips on at least one suspect. If you know more, get in touch.
Make that #GasHat and #HitlerStalinMaoTshirt
He’s got the goods here, trust me.

The Simpsons meme applies to a lot of Capitol defendants. That includes the latest Capitol defendant, who may actually be live-action, middle-aged Jimbo Jones.
Uncanny.
Can’t unsee it. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Judge Emmet Sullivan is holding a detention hearing for Michael Lopatic, a Capitol defendant the feds say assaulted officers and stole a police body camera. Sullivan indicated he was leaning towards pretrial detention, but said it is a “very close call.”
Lopatic posted photos of dead pheasants he nicknamed “Joe and Kamala,” “Schumer,” “Nancy,” “Nadler,” and “shifty Shift.”

Lawyer says Lopatic's "political views and hobbies are not linked to his actions on January 6th; they are also protected by the First and Second Amendments."
In court filing, defense team said "Mr. Lopatic is not and never has been a white supremacist (in fact, his wife is Laotian)” and "has no involvement with any organized right-wing or militia groups.” courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"If you think God wants you to do something to violate the court order, and you do it, I will revoke your bond.”

Judge Amy Berman Jackson really struggled with her decision to let Joshua Black out of jail until trial.

My latest:
huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
“How you understand the Lord’s will and how God might judge you in the hereafter is not my department. Your relationship with God is between you and your pastor and God... My concern is the here and now, and how you behave.” huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Government argued that Black “zealously participated in an infamous attempt to subvert the Nation’s democratic process” and was “at the vanguard of the mob.” Jackson found that they hadn’t met the high burden of the Bail Reform Act to keep him locked up. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…

Judge Amy B. Jackson is currently weighing whether to release Capitol defendant Joshua Black until trial. She said she may rule after a short recess.

Black told the FBI that God sent him on “a mission” and that “the Lord wanted me to go in there and plead the blood of Jesus.”
Judge Jackson made clear that Black’s religious and political beliefs will not factor into her decision, but told Black he’d have to take oath seriously if released.

“If you think God wants you to do something to violate the court order, and you do it, I will revoke your bond."
The government argued Black is "an identified and articulable ongoing threat to others and the community."

Here’s Black’s motion to vacate the order of detention: courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

And here’s the government’s opposition: courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Morning. Capitol defendants Kyle Fitzsimons, Joshua Black, James Bonet, and Michael Lopatic all have hearings today, and there’s a continued hearing for Charles Donohoe. The Lopatic and Donohoe detention hearings will likely be the most newsworthy.
Tomorrow, there are hearings for Mark Rebegila (arraignment), Brian McCreary (status conference), Kash Lee Kelly (preliminary hearing), Ethan Seitz (arraignment, status conference).
Also tomorrow: a detention hearing for Scott Fairlamb and a hearing to appoint counsel for Danny “D.J” Rodriguez. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-j…

Capitol defendant Anthony Antonio told the FBI that he locked eyes with D.C. Officer Mike Fanone, who was seized by mob and tased.

Antonio said he could see “death” Fanone’s eyes and could not get the image out of his head.

“I didn’t help him when I should of."
Danny “D.J.” Rodriguez has been charged with electroshocking Fanone. Antonio is seen near Rodriguez on video that shows Rodriguez holding a stun gun. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-j…
Here’s @delawareonline’s coverage of the case against Anthony Antonio: delawareonline.com/story/news/202…
