Listening in on detention hearing for Robert Morss, the man arrested with Lego set of Capitol. At first, DOJ said it was assembled but it was in a box 🙄 amgreatness.com/2021/07/08/no-…
AUSA Melissa Jackson: “It is difficult to fathom a more serious danger to the community…than the one posed by someone who knowingly and eagerly engaged in a violent insurrection to occupy the United States Capitol and abort the certification of a lawful and fair election.”
Judge Harvey says up front he won’t rule today. Morss is in DC jail, was arrested June 11. Morss has a public defender.
DOJ: Says they found more clothing and new texts discovered re his plans to go to DC. They planned to bring food and water. Something about walkie talkies.

LOL she’s reading texts from 6 months ago that suggest Morss wanted to leave the country or leave town. That makes his a flight risk, Jackson says. He was arrested in June.
Harvey: Info on docket that shouldn’t be. (This is Lego set I’m sure). Funny how DOJ has ignored this.

Testimony from Morss’ mom: Her other son is in USAF, stationed in Italy.
Robert entered military at 17, served 3 tours in Afghanistan as Army ranger. Honorably discharged, received commendations.
He then became a teacher.

Mom explaining how he dressed up as Donald Ross the painter for his students. Lots of volunteer work for veterans and others.
He sounds super scary.
Mom moved from Nevada to PA to be near her son, now assures she can be fit custodian.
Shame on this Justice Department.

Robert’s dad: Son always wanted to be a high school history teacher. Worked at veteran services at Penn State. Graduated, hired last year as long term substitute teacher.
Attorney is good.
Good thing no one can hear me as I listen to this.

Everyone will reconvene tomorrow at 3ET. DOJ has to give new texts to defense by tonight. Harvey says he’ll rule this week. Once again admonishes DOJ to clear up incorrect docket entry (again I assume it’s Lego set).
Aaaand now this. “Love you son. Very much.” “Love you guys, too.”
He’s been in jail for over a month. An Army ranger, a history teacher, a good son and member of the community. All so Biden’s DOJ can collect scalps.
