HEADS-UP: We have our 1st sentencing memo (recommendation) from US Justice Dept in January 6 case

It's a lower-level case. And not likely to be representative of some other cases to come. But here goes:

Bottom-line, they're seeking 3 YEARS PROBATION for Anna Morgan

(thread)

Anna Morgan is a 49 y/o from Florida who allegedly got the idea of going to the Capitol from her hairdresser

She's expected to plead guilty next week

She's not accused of assaulting anyone or destroying property, but allegedly said & posted some things

Feds allege Morgan said this after Jan 6: "I’m so glad we were there. For the experience and memory but most of all we can spread the truth about what happened and open the eyes of some of our friends.”

Morgan is asking judge to sentence her to 40 hours community service.

The feds are going noticeably higher. Three years probation, means three years supervision. And that's likely to be a priority for the feds... supervision to keep tabs on those at Capitol on Jan 6

As part of her effort for leniency, Morgan's lawyer tells the judge, "Though she supported the past president in January, she totally accepts President Biden as the leader of our country"

Sentencing hearing will happen immediately after the plea agreement hearing. Originally was set to happen tomorrow, but pushed to next week

This will be the *first*, which is noteworthy. But doesn't seem like a canary in the coalmine of what's to come...

Repeating for clarity, these are sentencing memos submitted by the defendant and prosecutors. NO PLEA HAS YET BEEN ENTERED.
