OK - now #insurrectionBlues cases before DDC Magistrate Judge Harvey. Defense lawyer Hernandez is being asked about a sealed case, sealed filings. This amid restricted access to videos. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below. Song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
While awaiting Judge Harvey, Inner City Press questions: why are any of these Capitol breach cases still sealed? Why aren't the videos used to detain defendants made available to the public, like on YouTube, rather than restricted & edited? documentcloud.org/documents/2061…
OK - now it's US v. Nicholas Perretta, question of release form to provide information to Pre-Trial.
Judge Harvey asks what DOJ wants.
Defense lawyer says, Let's proceed under seal.
Judge Harvey: Fine. Just disconnect the public line.
Inner City Press: What?

Question: When DDC Judge abruptly disconnects the public line, without notice or opportunity to be heard, how's one to know what happened in the detention hearing, or when it re-starts? Compare to Chief Judge Howell's Standing Order. Another letter into the ether? 
DDC Judge Harvey returns and cites to reasons he has given... in the sealed hearing. Asks Perretta if he understands the warnings.
Next date is Sept 1 at 1 pm. Defense consents to exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act, "to try to resolve the case." Story later
