BREAKING: Grand jury charges new superseding indictment against OathKeepers in January 6 conspiracy

This indictment adds three Florida men to the case

Joseph Hackett
Jason Dolan
William Isaacs
Conspiracy allegations grow wider. Feds allege some of the defendants added to this case were part of that "military stack" that breached the Capitol and past police on Jan 6
In new indictment, feds allege Joshua James yanked and pulled riot police out of his way and yelled "Get out of my Capitol. This is my f***ing building"
We could learn a lot more Tuesday morning, when some of the accused OathKeepers appear for DC court hearing
Also, new indictment charges accused Jan 6 conspirators Kelly Meggs, Ken Harrelson and Joshua James with "Tampering with Documents or Proceedings", for allegedly destroying possible evidence in their cell phones

"DEFENDANT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO ENGAGE IN VIOLENCE THAT DAY"

US Justice Dept asks court to hold Jan 6 defendant Stephen Randolph of Kentucky in jail, pending trial

** Hearing scheduled for June 11. Check out the argument from federal prosecutors (thread) **

===>
Prosecutors allege "Unlike many of those who
engaged in violence... (Randolph} did not stop at one act, but followed up his first assault with a second assault on law enforcement"

They say he first knocked over a barricade and an officer...

Then, more....
Next, feds say Stephen Randolph grabbed an officer by the neck

And they say he played a "leadership role", being among the first to engage in violence on Jan 6

So.....

There is a web page to solicit donations for the legal defense of Richard Barnett -- the man accused of putting feet on desk in Nancy Pelosi office suite, stealing mail & leaving vulgar note

It's .... quite something (thread) Image
For a $100 donation, "Richard will send you an autographed picture of him sitting in Pelosi's office personally addressed to whomever you like", according to the site

"Richard sends his deepest thanks & appreciation for any amount of money.." Image
The site says:

"His employment was terminated because of public pressure to fire him after his arrest"

FLASH:

Judge rejects request for release from jail from US Capitol riot defendant Karl Dresch

Even though judge acknowledged, the feds haven't provided evidence Dresch was violent or destroyed property Jan 6.

So why did judge hold him in jail? ==> (thread)
Judge's order says Dresch has made clear "Trump's the only big shot I trust right now"

!! Then judge specifies risk of future action by Dresch, because of Trump's new blog, false accusations and the reality that Trump seems to be Dresch's "singular source of information" !!
Dresch is also accused of sending chilling messages after the riot, celebrating the mayhem.... and warning of "snitches"

"It was grand... best day ever"

"F**heads up there are mass snitching me to feds"

ALERT: Judge just ordered CLEVELAND MEREDITH to remain jailed. Meredith arrived late to Jan 6 mob outside Capitol, but feds say he came heavily armed

And allegedly sent "chilling", violent messages en route, including "“I’m gonna run that *** Pelosi over"

And more (Thread)
Prosecutors allege Meredith sent this series of violent messages, including some threatening to shoot Nancy Pelosi and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser

And to "burn DC to the **** ground" .... and more =====>
Judge's order to keep Cleveland Meredith detained says Meredith also sent messages saying he was gonna collect "traitors heads"

Judge: "These messages are chilling. But defendant’s rumblings did not end once he’d missed the
attack on the Capitol"

Then there's the ammo issue...

OOF:

Judge orders Jan 6 defendant Shane Jenkins of Ohio remain in jail. Judge didn't name Trump, but said:

"Political dynamics that gave way to January 6th have not faded"

"Continuing doubts about legitimacy of election could give rise to another protest"
Judge adds allegations Jenkins:

"He's not just destroying property, he's trying to break and enter the Capitol"

"Moved to front of line, engaging w/ police officers"
Judge also cites allegations Jenkins was throwing objects (including flagpole) in direction of police. Also the throwing of a desk drawer.

Judge: "I have no idea where Mr. Jenkins found a desk drawer, Did he have one in his bag?"

THREAD: Brad Bennett of North Carolina has just filed new request to be released from jail

His case is interesting

He's accused of posting on Facebook: “FAIR WARNING. IF THIS ELECTION IS STOLEN FOR BIDEN, PATRIOTS WILL GO TO WAR.”

But there's also what happened *after* Jan 6
Feds allege Bennett went dark as they searched for him.

He was "laying low", advised others he couldn't use phone and didn't surrender for 12 days after agents notified him of arrest warrant, per feds
Oh.. and federal agents say Bennett instructed close associates to shift to "TELEGRAM" for encryption and threw a $1000 phone out of the window on the way to the courthouse
