DOJ "unprecedented scope and scale" of evidence for J6 investigation.
Plea offer is guilty of one count of obstruction of an official proceeding.
Hale is not accused of any violent crime, only of white supremacy.
Hale has been incarcerated for six months. Transported to 6 different jails before arriving in DC Deplorable Jail. Now DOJ wants him to cop to the one felony count of obstruction.
Judge: "Pretty old case for defendant to be sitting in jail."
No sh*t.
Hale defense lawyer: Government doesn't want to go to trial until next year. He will argue for fall 2021 trial if they don't agree to plea.
Biden's DOJ pushing all these trials into 2022, gee I wonder why?
Next hearing July 30.
Tim Hale, an Army reservist set up by NCIS who committed no violent crime, will sit in jail for another two weeks. Unbelievable.

Back to virtual detention hearing for Morss. Continued from yesterday. DOJ was supposed to correct docket and provide new texts to defense. Judge Harvey presiding.
DOJ: Nothing can protect the community from Morss. Charged with multiple violent felonies - claimed he stole a weapons and assaulting officers. He was near Capitol for 2 hours.
Also allege he stole baton, a shield and a fence.
Important to note cops were attacking protesters.
These hearings are exactly why we need to see most of the video from that day. Cherry-picked video and claims by a partisan, abusive DOJ.
LOL: DOJ did not provide video to court. Only still shots. Judge seems fine with this.
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.
Lots to unpack in new filing today for Dominic Pezzola, arrested January 15. He’s been held in DC jail for months. Lawyers complain they don’t have access to client and client has no access to discovery material:
They want Pezzola out on bail. If not, lawyers asking for a laptop so Pezzola can communicate with defense counsel and review evidence against him @xoner8ed@metcalflawnyc
More evidence of inhumane conditions in DC jail for J6 defendants
My March piece on arrest of Christopher Worrell. He’s been behind bars—transported to Deplorable Jail in DC—for almost 4 months awaiting trial. He’s also very ill
