She's expected to plea guilty tomorrow... but check out what she filed
(thread)
Anna Morgan-LLoyd is charged with unlawful entry, disrupting proceedings & disorderly conduct
Feds say she posted on FACEBOOK after January 6:
"That was the most exciting day of my life"
"I'm so glad we were there"
But says something different in letter to judge today

Her attorney says this about Anna Morgan-Lloyd
"Though she supported the past president in January, she totally accepts President Biden as the leader of our country. She respects the rule of law and was
horrified when she saw videos of insurgents at the Capitol on January 6"
Anna Morgan Lloyd is seeking a sentence of 40 hours of community service and $500 restitution
"She acknowledges that her presence may have
given comfort to those who committed acts of violence", per lawyer
We'll see what recommendation feds file with court in her case today
Many people charged in Jan 6 cases are unlikely to spend a day in jail
We’ll see if any of tomorrow’s “scheduled” hearings actually happen. Much of dc region is closing for day tomorrow in honor of Juneteenth
