Here’s the (fourth!) superseding indictment in the Oath Keepers conspiracy case.

It adds Joseph Hackett, Jason Dolan, William Isaacs and another defendant.

Grand jury returned the indictment on Wednesday, it posted today. (h/t @kenbensinger)

Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
- Joseph Hackett, 50, Sarasota ("Ahab”)

- Jason Dolan, 44, Wellington ("Turmoil")

-William Isaacs, 21, Kissimmee
Hackett and Dolan went with the Hilton Garden Inn.

Minuta, on the other hand, went all out and stayed at the hotel where former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover used to dine everyday.

(Edgar Bar & Kitchen is now a great little happy hour spot.)
.@kenbensinger pulls out some of the other new details in this thread:
William Isaacs (the 21-year-old) was arrested on Thursday and released with conditions. Jason Dolan was arrested Thursday as well. But it looks like Joseph Hackett (“Ahab”) wasn’t arrested until the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, which isn’t an ideal time to get locked up.
Nice little Four Seasons callback here for the hardcore fans.

Another example of the feds controlling the flow of Capitol cases so that the system doesn’t get too overwhelmed. The FBI interviewed Nicholas Hendrix of Maine on Jan. 21. He showed the FBI his stuff on March 25. He wasn’t arrested until last week. ImageImageImageImage
Feds described this as a "distinct t-shirt.” ImageImage
"During the January 21, 2021 interview, HENDRIX was wearing a watch cap and sunglasses that looked similar to the ones he wore on January 6, 2021.” Image

NEW: The feds moved today to dismiss the case against Capitol defendant Christopher Kelly without prejudice. Filing is pretty barebones, I’ve got a call into his lawyer for an explanation. ImageImage
"The government and defense counsel have discussed the merits of the case, and upon reflection of the facts currently known to the government, the government believes that dismissal without prejudice at this time serves the interests of justice.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
From the Jan. 20 complaint: "I'll be with ex NYPD and some proud boys. This will be the most historic event of my life…” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… ImageImage

Feds sure do use a lot of words to avoid using the phrase “facial recognition” in the case against Sean Michael McHugh. ImageImageImageImage
Sean McHugh, 34, is on probation for a DUI. His probation officer hadn’t met him in person, but said that McHugh looked familiar. She was thinking of another person. justice.gov/opa/case-multi… ImageImage
Nine bad tips from the public, but facial recognition (supported by additional records) got him. Image

A federal prosecutor indicated they’re hoping to make plea offers to some Oath Keeper defendants over the next month or two. Things are in preliminary stages. (Broad reminder: most federal cases are settled through plea agreement. Not shocking news.)
Logistically, judge notes that he thinks the case needs to be divided up into more “manageable” numbers if everybody decides to go to trial. He can’t recall a trial with 16 different defendants.
(There were six defendants in D.C. Superior Court in the first J20 trial, and that was a bit of a mess.) huffpost.com/entry/trump-in…

Good morning from the U.S. Capitol, where attorneys for Jan. 6 defendants just finished their two-hour tour:
The tour, guided by a Capitol Police officer, takes Jan. 6 lawyers to a number of key locations at the Capitol, including the Speaker’s Lobby, the hallways of the Speaker’s Office, the rotunda, the Senate gallery, etc.

Note the House-side windows here: still boarded up. Image
I spoke with Al Watkins, the attorney for the “QAnon Shaman” and a few other Jan. 6 defendants. He’s planning to visit his client in jail tomorrow while he’s in the D.C. area.

He ranked the value of the Capitol tour at 1/10, but said he got some great pictures. Image

“Sometimes we’re standing in the midst of a defining historical moment, and we miss the magnitude of it all... We are in a renewed, 21st-century fight to defend our democracy so that we might pass on a future that’s worthy of all our children.” huffpost.com/entry/raphael-…
“It’s ironic that this would happen this weekend, because all of us will go back to our home districts, and we will celebrate great patriots who paid the ultimate price to defend our democracy... and we have politicians who are not even willing to stand up on the Senate floor...”
“What has made this country work, with all of those challenges, is that we have a general framework in which those arguments take place, and what we are witnessing in this moment is a historic abandonment of that basic democratic framework.” huffpost.com/entry/raphael-…
