Bauer: "I think the American people will be shocked to find out who owns the Capitol building right now"
Judge cut her off.... possibly for the betterment of everyone
Bauer -- who just declared herself a sovereign citizen to court -- refuses to answer "yes" when judge asks her if she understands him
She says instead she "comprehends" it
Not sure what's behind that word choice
Meanwhile, this Jan 6 hearing is spiraling out of control
Pauline Bauer is peppering judge with questions about whether the court "recognizes" her as judge...
Then she tells judge: "Every man is independent of all laws, except those of nature'
Judge: "In light of difficulties of representing yourself, are you still interested in representing yourself"
Jan 6 defendant Pauline Bauer who just declared herself sovereign.. says court does NOT have authority over her
So... there's that
Meanwhile.. in this case. which is going off-the-rails
Jan 6 defendant Pauline Bauer says she won't let pre-trial services come into her home, won't turn over her passport, calls the search of her home "illegal" - and refuses to let judge move forward & get her lawyer
Ugly

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
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
