OK - in #insurrectionBlues case of US v. Daniel Rodriguez, DDC Judge Amy Berman Jackson is holding a proceeding, US says it gave the defense 111 body-worn camera videos. And the public? Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below. Song: soundcloud.com/innercitypress…
Judge Amy B. Jackson: You say there are related cases, but the defendants did know each other, did they?
Assistant US Attorney: We would not make the representation at this point that they know each other.
Judge Berman: Let me read the 5f order about Brady material
Judge Berman: When will you made a plea offer?
AUSA: I'm not sure there will be an offer at this time.
Judge Berman: Even in the most egregious cases, the government makes an offer....
AUSA: We'll endeavor to have those conversations.
Rodriguez' lawyer: Mr. Rodriguez wants to go to trial. Set a date.
Judge Jackson: Government?
AUSA: They told Judge Harvey that as well. I don't think it's a prudent course given the amount of discovery. So, set a status date. If a trial date, an extended one
Rodriguez' lawyer: Our position would be different if he were released on conditions.
Judge Jackson: If their answer is unsatisfactory to you, no one has filed a bond review motion with me. Judge Harvey made his determination. But I'll review whatever you file.
Judge Jackson: This is a one-defendant case, I could try it in my courtroom. I don't want a situation where we find out some tipster sent in a video but we're already rushing to trial.
Judge Jackson: We have defense counsel in Nevada, I don't know where the prosecutors are either. I'll be here Aug 31, 2 pm- time excluded until then.
Defense: My client is jailed 2 hours from DC.

SEC's lawyer: If official have to testify, years after, it would have a chilling effect.
SEC lawyer: Let me cite again your Honor's decision in the 9/11 case. From Page 14 of your decision, you raised the issue of repetition and [wait for it] ripple effect. The burden on Ripple here is high, and they have not met it. Any questions?
Judge Netburn: Yes
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.

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:
