Prosecutor in case against Brent Bozell IV, who was caught on video smashing a Capitol window and storming the floor of the Senate, told a judge this morning that he has not yet obtained authority to extend a plea offer.
Bozell was arrested in February, but then indicted on more serious charges in March after #SeditionHunters surfaced footage of him smashing out the window.
Judge John D. Bates said he’ll be “very disappointed” if the government has not produced a lot more discovery and engaged in more discussion about pre-trial resolution of the case by the next status hearing, which he set for July 7.

Landon Copeland, caught on video brawling with cops at the Capitol, has been interrupting hearings for other Capitol defendants. His case has finally been called, and it’s not going well.

Attorney for Capitol defendant Anthony Antonio said his client had “Foxitus” and “Foxmania” from watching six months of Fox News and started “believing what was being fed to him” by Fox News and the president. Image
Antonio talked to the feds with his lawyer pretty early, and told them he saw “death” in the eyes of D.C. Police Officer Mike Fanone as the mob pulled the officer into the crowd. justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m… Image
Danny “D.J.” Rodriguez has been charged with electroshocking Officer Fanone. huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…

Judge Randolph D. Moss today denied Matthew Klein's motion for bond and pretrial release, finding that his parents are unsuitable custodians.

Matthew's parents both advised his brother (on the right) that "braggers get caught." His mom said to "pull a Hillary and use a hammer."
"This was not an exercise of free speech but, to the contrary, an effort to quash the collective voice of the American electorate."
Judge called Proud Boy Klein’s decision to bring weapons to political rallies “disconcerting,” but didn’t rule out releasing him under strict conditions in the future.

A missed opportunity to show off the painting of Nicholas Katzenbach, who has the greatest attorney general portrait in history.
Art. justice.gov/ag/bio/katzenb…
It’s a conversation piece about the AG who faced down George Wallace, helped draft the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, and battled with Hoover over blackmailing MLK. Seems like an easy call to put him in the AG’s conference room.

Judge Amy B. Jackson, at hearing for Capitol defendant Karl Dresch, pointed out that his supporters were infantilizing a 41-year-old man, calling him a “young man” and a “very bright kid."

“Senator Josh Hawley is 41, and he’s not even the youngest senator there,” she says.
Judge Amy B. Jackson also pointed out that Washington Capitols Captain Alex Ovechkin is 35; Tom Brady was NFL MVP at 40; Bill Clinton was elected before he was 40; and that Martin Luther King was younger than 40 when he was killed.
The supporter who called Karl Dresch a “very bright kid” (and left out Dresch's criminal conduct in his 30s) is **checks notes** the sheriff of Houghton County, Michigan.

NEW: Kentucky federal magistrate judge has ordered Stephen Chase Randolph detained pretrial and sent to D.C.

(Video shows him breaking down the barriers and knocking over a Capitol Police officer, rendering her unconscious.)

huffpost.com/entry/facial-r…
Judge wrote that Randolph had a "mostly law-abiding past” but engaged "in an egregious, injurious, and felonious assault on a federal law enforcement officer as part of a broader effort to disrupt the democratic process of the United States government.” documentcloud.org/documents/2069…
Randolph’s conduct, the judge wrote “shocks the conscious.” After Randolph knocked over the Capitol Police officer and caused her to hit her head on a metal stair handrail, he went on to assault more officers and left her an “unconscious heap on the ground.”
