OK - now in #insurrectionBlues case of US v. ROBERT MORSS, now a hearing, with witnesses, on if his detention should end. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below. Song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
Judge Harvey said he will NOT be deciding today, will read a decision from the bench at a later date.
"On January 4 he asked, 'Do you have walkie talkies?' MORSS replied, 'Just bring food, water and medical sh*t... I have my plate carrier."
Judge Harvey: Plate carrier?
A: Tactical vest that can carry a metal plate.
Defense objects. "Are you saying it had plates on Jan 6?"
Assistant US Attorney: He wore a tactical vest. He was not arrested so we don't know what was in it.
Now AUSA is quoting text messages that Morss' lawyer hasn't seen yet, quoting Morss that he might flee the country, "I'm wigging out... I may take a little vacation." The government believes he is a flight risk
The texts are from Jan 24-25
Judge Harvey says he has asked the Clerk to seal the defense's submission.
Now defendant's mother, Angela Morss. She says Robert's brother Paul is with the US Air Force in Italy.
Morss' lawyer (Q) Did Robert enter military?
Angela Morss (A) Yes. He did 3 tours
Angela Morss: Robert went to Penn State, he wanted to be a teacher... He graduated in Dec 2020. He got a substitute teaching job in "Glenshaw" in late January 2021. Then he was arrested June 11.
Angela Morss: Robert dressed up like that guy with the puffy tree, make friends with a tree [Bob Ross].
Q: Was he involved with veterans?
Angela Morss: Yes, he volunteers. He was in a dance-a-thon. I could go on and on.
Angela Morss: I have retired and I have moved to my son's apartment, praying that the court will see fit that I could be custodially responsible. I would be comfortable with home confinement. I could take him to appointments.
Now Robert's father, Andrew Morss.
Q: Are you now in Nevada?
Andrew Morss: In Sparks.
Q: Did Robert come to Nevada after the military?
Andrew: Yes. Then he went to Penn State to become a history teacher. We drove cross country: Mt Rushmore, Tom Jefferson's house
AUSA has declined to cross examine either parent. Morss' lawyer defers argument until she get the texts the government is citing.
Judge Harvey: File them in docket, in redacted form. Today.
The Morss case will reconvene tomorrow, after his lawyer sees the texts. Then Judge Harvey will set a time a day or two after that to read his decision. Stories coming InnerCityPress.com and patreon.com/MatthewRussell…

OK - another #insurrectionBlues case resumes, US v. Tom Robertson, we covered it and today, the fuzes innercitypress.com/ddc72brobertso… Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below, song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
Judge Cooper: Mr. Robertson, we are here on the US motion to revoke your pre-trial release. There was a hearing before Judge Harvey on July 9. Now the motion is briefed, with new material today... I suspect we're going to hear he shifted it to a gun dealer...
AUSA: There's probably cause under 922(n) prohibits the receipt of firearms - he has been responsible for the transport and receipt. A third party doesn't help him.

Morss' lawyer: The US is using stills from a video --
[Note: DDC judges have yet to make these videos available to the public, only to a limited groups given the DC OUSA's password to USAfx. This is a scam]
Morss' lawyer: He is in the back, he passed shield back
Morss' lawyer: There are six defendants on this indictment and all but one have been released. All Mr. Morss wanted to attend was a historic event. Yes, it got out of hand.

Judge Crotty: Usually it's better to have a lawyer, especially on these charges. But the choice is entirely yours, as long as you make it in a knowing fashion. Think hard about it. If you decide to represent yourself, I will appoint stand-by counsel.
Judge Crotty: You do not have the right to reject the stand-by counsel.
[In DDC, #insurrectionBlues defendant Pauline Bauer was *asked* if she would accept stand-by counsel. Same issue arose there this morning with Brandon Fellows:
