Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano — seen recently posing for a photo with a fellow Trump enthusiast on the FBI’s Capitol wanted list — claimed he and his wife never crossed the police line on Jan. 6. Let’s roll the tape: huffpost.com/entry/doug-mas…
"Mastriano was wearing one of his campaign hats and a dark-green scarf on the day.” @JosieHarvey_: huffpost.com/entry/doug-mas…
Pennsylvania Sen. Doug Mastriano has issued a statement condemning something!

Is it the actions of his associate Samuel Lazar, the guy currently on the FBI wanted list because he’s on video assaulting cops on Jan. 6?

It is not. Guess he went in a different direction!
“police lines did shift.”

Here’s one of the “shifts” that Sen. Doug Mastriano witnessed from a few feet away.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Our story noted exactly that: politicians do take photos with people they don’t vet. But Mastriano took photos with Lazar both before and after Jan. 6, the state senator notably has yet to condemn his associate’s actions. huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
.@JosieHarvey_ followed up w/ Sen. Doug Mastriano’s office again. He said he does condemn the actions of his supporter Samuel Lazar on Jan. 6 and that “anyone who committed violence against law enforcement that day should be charged and held accountable.”
Very curious to see what charges the feds land on against Samuel Lazar given his leadership role in the assault.

Quick story. You may remember Taylor Michael Wilson, a white supremacist sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for an attack on an Amtrak train. huffpost.com/entry/neo-nazi…
Wilson attended the Unite the Right rally in Charleston, had a secret compartment with ammunition and white supremacist literature behind his fridge, and said during the attack that he wanted to “save the train from black people.” huffpost.com/entry/white-su…
It was a rare upfront, straightforward federal terrorism case against a domestic extremist, and it illustrated differences in the law / in the feds’ approach to domestic versus foreign terrorism. huffpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…

Kevin Loftus, who helpfully identified himself on the FBI’s wanted list and was arrested less than a week after Jan. 6, has a status conference hearing at 10 a.m. today.
“That’s right folks some of us are in it to win it.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
60 day continuance in the works, parties are hoping to resolve short of trial and hope to have some final answers within the next two months.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly denies Lonnie Coffman pretrial release. He came to D.C. with a truck full of weapons, including nearly a dozen Molotov cocktails.

Here’s a link to the whole memorandum and order, read it yourself here:

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Lonnie Coffman tried to show up to Ted Cruz’s home. A Cruz staffer said he was "unbalanced" and "not 100% there" but thought he "seemed to be coming from the 'friend' angle in wanting to... help with the election fraud he saw.”

Cruz “led the fight” against certification.
Had Ted Cruz ran into Lonnie Coffman under different circumstances, they might’ve had an interesting conversation!

Federal public defender for Shane Jenkins (Capitol defendant with the “MAMA TRIED” neck tattoo who was filmed smashing out a window with a tomahawk) argues the government hasn’t accurately portrayed Jenkins’ actions on Jan. 6, and say he tried to help an officer seized by crowd.
Jenkins is currently detained and arguing for release under strict conditions. His lawyers say he might end up being detained under harsh conditions "for longer than the typical time it would take for a criminal case to be completed.” 5/13 filing: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
The government, in this 5/18 filing, said Jenkins "believes he is justified in using physical violence to advance his political objectives” and pointed to his rhetoric comparing Jan. 6 to the American Revolution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: A suspect on the FBI’s Capitol wanted list, who was caught on video battling with police, attended a Rudy Giuliani event last week, where he got a photo with a Trump-loving state senator who organized buses to D.C. on Jan. 6. #FacePaintBlowhard huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
“We maced them right the fuck back… “Fuck the tyrants… We need to hang these motherfuckers.” huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
Lazar battled with police over and over and over again on Jan. 6. He was at the front of the lines. Here’s just a sampling of his rhetoric:

Lawyers for detained Capitol defendants have been trying to make the case to judges that Jan. 6 was this one-off, unique moment and that there’s no longer an ongoing threat, and the former president just keeps gutting their argument.
Judges aren’t making detention decisions based on Trump’s rhetoric alone, but it certainly doesn’t help! More background in this great @ZoeTillman piece. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Trump doesn’t have to actually put any skin in the game when he dashes off rants calling 2020 the "greatest Election Fraud in the history of our Country," but in additional to increasing the threat of another attack, he’s damaging the defenses of people who actually believed him.
