How many people in the US know that at least 165 people have been charged with assaulting and/or resisting police on Jan. 6th—a number that is growing?

Trump’s alternative reality thrives on millions not knowing or believing that fact, through an atomized and vilified press.
Statistic via DOJ: justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/new…
Political operatives spinning this as like Portland are kindly invited to point to when 165+ people and counting there were charged w/ similar crimes—

—including assaulting police with bear spray, poles, barricades, a baseball bat, Taser and more.
Not to mention a pipe bomber who has remained unidentified and uncharged after planting explosive devices at high profile political targets.

Missed the six (!) hour hearing?

Here's a recap:

"A Federal Judge Holds 'Kraken' Lawyers' Feet to the Fire at Sanctions Hearing. Lin Wood Tried to Distance Himself from It All." lawandcrime.com/2020-election/… via @lawcrimenews
For what it's worth, I'm seeing folks claiming that Haller was crying, or asking about whether she did. She sounded nervous and perhaps awkward, with a shaky voice.

More than that? I didn't see or hear it.
As a caveat:

While I listened to the proceedings in full, my eyes weren't entirely fixed upon the screen throughout the entire six-hour ordeal.

Miss the first two-and-half hours of the "Kraken" sanctions hearing? A breakdown:

"A Federal Judge Holds 'Kraken' Lawyers' Feet to the Fire at Sanctions Hearing. Lin Wood Tried to Distance Himself from It All."

More live coverage ahead, @lawcrimenews
lawandcrime.com/2020-election/…
Welcome back, all. Is everyone caffeinated and refreshed?
Judge: "As promised, we will begin with Mr. Wood."

Wood: "What I wanted to make clear is, as I said at the beginning," he does not believe the court has jurisdiction over him and that he did not sign the pleading.

"I do not have a slash-s signature line," Wood adds.

BREAKING:

Avenatti gets 30 months for extorting Nike. Developing.

"'TV and Twitter, Your Honor, Mean Nothing': Tearful Fallen Trump Foe Michael Avenatti Receives Two-and-Half-Year Sentence for Extorting Nike" lawandcrime.com/high-profile/t… via @lawcrimenews
The government did not recommend a particular sentence, but prosecutors previously intimated that they concurred with the probation department's call for an eight year sentence.

So as many of you are surmising, the judge's sentence is much lighter than that.
Judge Gardephe noted multiple reasons for that, including avoiding sentencing disparities with a man who was never charged: Mark Geragos, Avenatti's co-cousel in the case.

He also cited Avenatti's brutal pretrial lockup in MCC, when it was in lockdown years ago.

How the videotaped crimes of a notorious Australian child trafficker...

...convicted and locked up for life in the Philippines...

...allegedly wound up on Josh Duggar’s computer in the US, leading to his prosecution.

ICYMI, last week’s podcast: art19.com/shows/objectio…
This is the backstory of one of the files Duggar is accused of receiving and possessing, made by convicted child rapist and human trafficker Peter Scully.

In this episode, I interviewed a correspondent who covered Scully's crime scene in the Philippines.
It's less the story of Duggar's case than the human trafficking operation behind what one federal investigator described as one of the "Top Five worst of the worst" files allegedly found on his computer.

—and the financiers, alleged accomplices and networks that enabled it.
