Wednesday's US House Oversight Committee hearing into Jan 6 Insurrection will review whether US Justice Dept had blind eye toward right-wing extremism under Pres. Trump, per US House aides
Committee chair Carolyn Maloney, "There is no question that former President Trump’s inflammatory language provoked and incited the violent mob that stormed the United States Capitol in a last-ditch effort to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election."
Former Trump Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and Acting Atty General Jeffrey Rosen will testify and be questioned
All witnesses will appear *remotely* ... and this will be a long hearing. *At least* 2 1/2 hours

THIS WEEK: I'm eagerly anticipating a decision about pretrial detention in the case of accused US Capitol Insurrectionist Landon Copeland of Utah

Copeland is accused of assaulting police on front lines Jan 6

Four months later: Copeland screamed vulgarities at the judge May 6
The court tried to mute Copeland's phone when he began screaming vulgarities during his court appearance this week.

It. Did. Not. Go. Well. ===>
Then this happened ===> (at full volume)

THREAD:

All hell broke loose during the virtual court appearance of US Capitol Insurrection defendant Landon Copeland.

A court released transcript shows how vulgar and disjointed the hearing became for this defendant from Utah, whose accused of assaulting police ==>
Copeland was screaming "objection" during the hearings of *other* defendants, including when prosecutors referenced Trump and FOX News.

Eventually, he promised to keep his "mouth shut"
Soon after, things began spiraling out of control. Copeland began yelling at judge. Wanted postponement, cited his military service... said "You owe this to me"

THREAD: Don't take the feds at their word when they say a US Capitol Insurrection defendant is being "monitored" prior to trial.

Judge has ordered prosecutors to update her by Friday about what's going wrong with the monitoring of Daniel Egtvedt
Egtvedt is accused of grabbing at police on Jan 6 and disregarding orders.

Judge released him weeks ago saying "Being a jerk, a loudmouth and belligerent" was not reason to hold Egtvedt

But his release didn't go as planned
In court filings, prosecutors say the court's probation office couldn't properly equip Egtvedt with electronic monitoring devices. They didn't work at the home in which he's staying around remote Garrett County, Maryland.

So he's been "un-monitored" for two weeks ==>

SHORT THREAD:

The LITERAL cost of the US Capitol riots. I spotted this in a report from the DC Police Department to the DC Council ====>
DC Police needed to buy more pepper spray and tear gas. And a LOT of it!

Yes.... this is one reason why ===>
I asked DC police about the ten-fold increase from 2019

DC Police: "The increase in acquisition of OC Spray reflects both the increased occurrence of rioting so far this year (including Jan 6), as well as general preparations for possible civil disturbance the rest of the year"

BIG DAY in US Capitol Insurrection cases.

Arraignment at 10am for Delaware man accused of bringing *Confederate* flag into Capitol on Jan 6
Initial court appearance at 1pm for Logan Grover of Colorado, who is accused of being in this wave of the mob near broken doors and windows at US Capitol on Jan. 6. Feds say Grover referred to 2020 election as "insane... treasonous insurrection"
I'll be closely monitoring the 12pm court hearing for accused Proud Boy & Capitol riot defendant Ethan Nordean. Nordan's accused of conspiring to organize the mob and allegedly said police are "part of the problem." He's challenging his pretrial detention to Court of Appeals

THREAD:

Overnight... the Justice Dept notified a judge they have additional phone records for US Capitol Insurrection defendant Brad Bennett of North Carolina. Bennett allegedly got inside the Senate chamber & is linked to Q-Anon.

Bennett's case is different than the others...
Feds say Bennett made his intentions clear on Jan. 2... changing his profile picture to read, “FAIR WARNING. IF THIS ELECTION IS STOLEN FOR BIDEN . . . PATRIOTS WILL GO TO WAR"

But it's what happened AFTER Jan 6 that's convinced the feds to ask Bennett be jailed
Prosecutors say Bennett suspected his arrest was imminent in March... and took off. Disabling his phone and connecting to the rest of the world through fast-food restaurant WI-FI

He vanished
