ALERT: Doug Jensen, one of highest profile Jan 6 defendants, files new motion seeking RELEASE from jail

He's the man accused of facing off w/ lone officer outside Senate

His motion... is quite something. Criticizing Trump, explaining QAnon & calling himself victim

(THREAD)
Doug Jensen of Iowa is accused of leading the 1st wave toward US Senate, with pocketknife in his possession

Feds allege Jensen "wanted Q to get credit" & "wanted to stop this crap with Mike Pence", urging police to arrest Members of Congress
Feds say Jensen admitted being "firm believer" in QAnon, proponent of Donald Trump declaring martial law and said Biden's election was "fraudulent"

But ... wait till you see how Jensen responds....
Jensen says *he* is the victim of "numerous conspiracy theories" .. and that the pocketknife was for protection at the Trump rally

There's more.... so much more...
Jensen's motion accused US Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman of being a "threat" and wielding baton "over Jensen's head"

Then ... he takes argument in different direction...
Jensen says "no one could have predicted the events of late 2020, culminating on Jan 6"

He cites "billionaire reality TV host", George Orwell's 1984, "media lies" and Alex Haley
Doug Jensen, who allegedly led the mob on Jan 6 outside the Senate, then says he went to the Capitol at the direction of Donald Trump ... to demonstrate he was a true patriot... but now feels deceived by a "pack of lies"
Jensen is seeking release from the DC jail, where he says he's "languished" for six months (I'll note: the Insurrection was five months ago)

And that he wants to get his affairs in order for "resolution" of his case (which could indicate possible plea deal)
ARRAIGMENT tomorrow for Doug Jensen in DC federal court. I will be covering and keep you updated

FLASH: Brian Driscoll, the former acting FBI director who was fired by the Trump Administration last month, has filed a federal civil lawsuit against Kash Patel, Pam Bondi and the President
Driscoll and two other fired FBI leaders (Steven Jensen and Spencer Evans) allege their federal rights were violated when they were fired

Suit: "Patel not only acted unlawfully but deliberately chose to prioritize politicizing the FBI over protecting the American people"
Lawsuit filed by fired acting FBI director Brian Driscoll:

"Patel explained that there was nothing he or Driscoll could do to stop these or any other firings, because 'the FBI tried to put the President in jail and he hasn’t forgotten it.”

NEW: Judge Jia Cobb rules in favor of Federal Reserve Board governor Lisa Cook, temporarily blocking Cook's firing by Trump

In a 49-page ruling, Cobb finds Cook's procedural rights were violated and that Cook made a "strong showing" in her argument

(MORE)
Judge Cobb's ruling in favor of Lisa Cook:

"The President’s equivocal claim that Cook 'may have made false statements on one or more mortgage agreements' refers only to conduct that may have occurred before she was confirmed to her position"

The Judge italicized the word "MAY" Image
Judge Cobb notes that Lisa Cook didn't receive "notice" or a "hearing" before Trump sought to fire her for cause

STAND BY: Judge Jia Cobb takes the bench shortly here in DC.

Lisa Cook is challenging her firing from Federal Reserve Board by Trump

Cook is not in courtroom. It's her attorneys Norm Eisen and Abbe Lowell
Lisa Cook's legal team will argue:

"This case challenges President Trump’s unprecedented and illegal attempt to remove Governor Cook from her position which, if allowed to occur, would the first of its kind in the Board’s history. It would subvert the Federal Reserve Act, which explicitly requires a showing of 'cause' for a Governor’s removal, which an unsubstantiated allegation about private mortgage applications submitted by Governor Cook prior to her Senate confirmation is not"
Judge Jia Cobb is a 2021 appointee to the court.

Cobb has previously decried "misinformation" about January 6, the surge in political violent threats and election misinformation from the bench
