You can see (and hear) the stun gun attack at around 1:24.
You can spot DJ Rodriguez’s jacket and MAGA hat in the footage too if you look closely. huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…
Isolated the moment that Trump fanatic DJ Rodriguez electroshocked DC Officer Mike Fanone here. You can see his black jacket and his MAGA hat with the distinctive pins.
DJ Rodriguez had a black glove on his left hand. His right hand (which held the stun gun) was bare. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-j…

Government has extended a tentative plea deal offer to Timothy Hale-Cusanelli. It is still waiting on supervisor approval.

Frustrated defense lawyer says the tentative offer is “very open-ended and wishy-washy.”

(Standard disclosure that most cases end in plea deals.)
“Not to insult the prosecutor, but it really wasn’t a plea offer,” says defense attorney. Defense wants to set a trial date and move things forward. They’re also frustrated by discovery process, they don’t really know what occurred in the building.
Hale-Cusanelli has advised his lawyers that other Capitol defendants he’s jailed with have told him that he’s popped up in videos released as part of their discovery process, per defense attorney.

At an arraignment hearing just now, Trump fanatic Jonathan Munafo tried to plead guilty to the charges he faces for the Capitol attack.

(That’s not the move you make at an arraignment, and his lawyers interrupted and instead entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.)
Because Capitol cases are overwhelming the D.C. federal court system, both the prosecutor and the federal public defenders in the Munafo case are from the District of Puerto Rico.
Not a huge surprise here: competency issues are going to come up in this case.

Another complicating factor: He’s charged in a separate case in Michigan. detroitnews.com/story/news/loc…

At hearing for George Tanios, lawyer is arguing that he brought spray to D.C. on Jan. 6 for self-protection.

“The intent wasn’t to go to a riot, the intent was to go to a rally to support their president,” says the lawyer.
In a court filing and in court, Tanios’ team argued that he "had a legitimate fear and that he possessed chemical sprays for a legitimate purpose” because of "reports of mob attacks upon Trump supporters.”
Tanios’ team argues that his "lifestyle and ordinary environment almost guarantee that no other person will be harmed by Mr. Tanios upon release.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

In case you missed it: Josh Hawley claimed it was a total mystery to him whether he fist pumped any Capitol rioters, so @ArthurDelaneyHP and I set out to settle that lingering question for him. Hope that helps! huffpost.com/entry/josh-haw…
TL;DR: Yes, Josh Hawley fist pumped people who "participated in the criminal riot.” In fact, it’d be tougher to identify people who Hawley fist pumped who didn’t break the law. huffpost.com/entry/josh-haw…
Already showed you how the guy with the bullhorn (who was directing the crowd Hawley saluted) rioted, but perhaps we should follow someone less obvious.
