ALERT: Judge rules US Capitol riot defendant Lonnie Coffman MUST REMAIN in jail, pending trial

Coffman is the man accused of having 11 Molotov cocktails & weapons in pickup truck on Capitol Hill Jan 6

Judge's order includes series of other alarming accusations (THREAD)
Judge's order says Capitol riot defendant Lonnie Coffman did a drive around DC - including around US Capitol - on December 11, 2020

And attempted to drive to Texas Senator Ted Cruz's home.

Then - feds say - Coffman called the office ...
Ted Cruz staffer told feds Lonnie Coffman seemed 'unbalanced" and "not 100% there" during his call to Cruz office (Senate offices receive so many phone calls, it's notable staffer recalls this call)

"wanting to help w/ election fraud"

Then there's the militia allegations ...
Feds say they found paper in Coffman's wallet which links him to Camp Lonestar in Texas

Coffman was allegedly part of 2014 activity there "where he was armed with a crack barrel 12 gauge shotgun & a 9 mm pistol"

Feds say they then searched his home and found (more thread ...)
(Lonnie Coffman is accused of bringing 11 Molotov cocktails to Capitol Hill Jan 6)

After searching his home, feds allegedly recovered more liquid-filled mason jars with hole-punched lids (matching those found in Coffman's pickup truck on Cap Hill)...& another militia reference
Federal agents allegedly retrieved a list of names from Coffman's home too.

List had Coffman's alleged descriptions of those people... including references to:

An NBC host
A "Radical Dem Senator"
A "GE Obama lapdog" and others
Investigators also allege Coffman had firearm in his possession Jan 6. Judge cites that allegation in order to hold Coffman in jail

So much for the everyone was "unarmed" argument... from some politicians
Coffman has pleaded NOT GUILTY, but will remain incarcerated in the DC Jail

Judge's order says vaccines are working, so COVID-19 risks to Coffman are reduced at jail

So at the jail... in southeast DC, hundreds of miles from his Alabama home.. he will remain

In a flurry of legal filings this afternoon, the Washington, D.C.-based Heritage Foundation conservative action group is asking a federal judge for a hearing TODAY or TONIGHT on the matter of the leaked audio of President Biden’s interview by then-Special Counsel Robert Hur
Heritage is asking a DC federal judge "for a temporary restraining order directing defendant to produce all recordings of former President Joseph R. Biden’s Interview with Special Counsel Robert K. Hur.. within 4 hours of this Court’s order"
Heritage and media outlets had filed Freedom of Information Act requests for the audio last year

Heritage argues the release of snippets of the audio by the Axios news service adds urgency to their request

Court filing: "How did a record subject to a claim of Executive Privilege and possibly classified make it into the hands of Axios? Add to that how did that record end up being spliced without notion? The Court must require an immediate answer to that question. This situation is untenable. Full disclosure is necessary now"

The filing notes this week’s public statements by Ed Martin, the newly-named member of Justice Dept’s “weaponization” group. The group of FBI workers is worried about the list being publicized or leaked by Justice Dept, subjecting the agents to retaliation & violence (more)
The FBI employees argue that Martin publicly pledged Tuesday to “name and shame” employees inside the department.

Stand by:

Inside federal court in Milwaukee, awaiting 10am arraignment of Judge Hannah Dugan, whose arrest was announced by FBI Director Kash Patel last month. She’s accused of obstruction and re-routing an undocumented immigrant in her court away from agents
Judge Dugan is asking that her case be dismissed. She’s laced her argument with reference to Supreme Court’s 2024 “immunity” ruling which benefited Trump. She’s arguing her actions in her court were “official” acts
Judge Dugan’s defense argued in a filing yesterday:

“The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset”

NEW: In a blistering new order, federal judge Paula Xinis of Maryland says the Trump Administration is making "a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations" in the court case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
Judge Paula Xinis also finds the Trump Admin has "sought refuge behind vague and unsubstantiated assertions of privilege, using them as a shield to obstruct discovery and evade compliance with this court's orders" in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case
The judge's order also throws shade on the Trump Admin's claim Abrego Garcia is out of their control ... in Salvadoran custody

Judge: "Indeed, custody can be joint, and custodial status may be controlled by the Defendants acting in concert with El Salvador"
