Another domestic abuse allegation surfaces in Jan 6 case

Matt Bledsoe asks court to remove his GPS ankle tether

Feds respond that police were called on Bledsoe in 2014 for punching pregnant woman & repeatedly kneeing her stomach (He wasn't convicted)

& Another call in 2020
Oh... and Bledsoe is asking the court to remove his tether device because he:

1) Owns a moving company
2) Is working a lot
3) Wants to wear shorts
4) Can't wear shorts, because of ankle tether
5) Says it's "hard" to conceal ankle tether
This is at least the second Jan 6 defendant who was accused of assaulting a pregnant woman prior to the Insurrection
I spoke about this dynamic a couple of weeks ago with @ZerlinaMaxwell @ZerlinaShow

RIGHT NOW: Prosecutors are arguing to hold Jan 6 defendant Rob Morss in jail. Morss is accused of having military gear & being part of multiple fronts of assault vs police

Feds say Morss tried to "rob" baton and shield from officer's hands, engaged in violence for 2+ hours
Feds: Morss used stolen riot shield against the officers, told someone to block a camera, joined crowd as it did "heave-ho" attack against line of officers, went into Capitol thru broken window

Feds: He appears to put his military training to use that day. Morss was a leader
Morss has argued that he got "caught up in the frenzy" that day

But prosecutors say Morss packed military gear, including tourniquet.. and was "directing" others in mob

Jan 6 defendant Paul Hodgkins asks for leniency in new sentencing memo, saying "It takes courage & strength of character to be the 1st person to step forward"

Then invokes Civil War reference & asks to not be "cancelled"

Feds: Hodgkins carried Trump flag into well of Senate
But wait... there's much more

Hodgkins attorney throws haymakers at American culture .. saying we seek to "cancel one another", saying we are suffering from becoming a "post-Christian society" and fail to see each other as "brothers & sisters"

And.. another Civil War reference
Then the attorney invokes BLM, Freddie Gray, George Floyd and Trayvon Martin

And then he makes more Civil War references

And then he talks about protestors arrested at Brett Kavanaugh hearings (which another defendant invoked to get count dismissed.. and failed)
