Another set of videos in Jan 6 *could* be coming soon. Brian Mock is accused of assaulting police at Capitol (after making a visit to World War II Memorial) In court hearing just now, Mock’s attorney says he won’t oppose public release of video in case
Prosecutors say Mock kicked police during assault
DC police body cam video. Judge says a screenshot shows man with knee raised ... Feds allege Mock kicked officer
!! Feds allege Mock showed up at witness house to harass her after Jan 6. And threatened her to stay quiet
And…… defense lawyer just argued the witness (woman who was with Mock in DC on Jan 6) has “interest in portraying Mock in worst possible light”
And defense lawyer alleges witness did not seek protective order .. “If she truly felt threatened she had every opportunity to go to law enforcement .. to seek order of protection”. Judge hammers back: “Unless she didn’t want to take that risk!”
No decision from judge today. More motions from both sides between now and Thursday. Then likely order from judge

Attorney for Jan 6 defendant Doug Jensen says "crowd hysteria" coupled w/"information that was promulgated over internet & news, brought about event that would never have happened
He says Jensen is "intelligent man" .. "he got taken!"
Ahh.... but moments later his lawyer says Jensen didn’t even know where he was on Jan 6. “He thought he was at the White House”
Interesting back and forth here. Defense lawyer says Jensen deserves credit for not pushing past the solitary Capitol Police Officer (Eugene Goodman) on Jan 6
Prosecutor responds: That’s because Officer had to keep retreating
Standby. More news coming. The first sentencing hearing in a Jan 6 case is about to begin. Lower level case. But our first sample of how judges will handle *some* of these cases
Anna Morgan Lloyd (49 y/o of Indiana). Guilty plea to count four of her charges. Unlawful picketing/parading. Max sentence is six months. But Feds aren’t requesting jail. Standby by more ....
As we reported on @nbcwashington last week, prosecutors are recommending three years probation. Morgan Lloyd is seeking community service and a fine. Let’s see which way the judge leans ...
!!! Alert. Jan 6 defendant and accused OathKeeper conspirator Graydon Young tells judge he will plead guilty. And will cooperate with prosecutors and testify before grand jury
This is big win for FBI which has made clear that far right groups are priority of investigation
NEW: Defense lawyer for so-called "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Chansley files another motion to get him released from jail in Jan 6 case
It's... unlike others I've seen
Including allegation that US Justice Dept is taking power away from frontline prosecutors to cut plea deals
(more)
Chansley's defense lawyer also argues the feds are inappropriately citing Chansley's "Shaman" beliefs in arguments to hold him ... and attorney makes this comparison ==>
As others have.... Chansley's lawyer says his client traveled to the Capitol at what was understood to be "the request of then President Trump"
Mock makes several arguments for his release from jail
He argues he's a father of four and provides "non-court-ordered and court-ordered support"
He says he lost his job due to negative publicity
And says he has no firearms or passport

About that 2010 conviction involving kids & gun
"Mr. Mock respectfully disagrees with those characterizations as an inaccurate recitation of the
true facts" ... but adds .. "validity and seriousness of his prior felony conviction"
