OK - it's #insurrectionBlues case of US v. Robert Morss, again, now DOJ has released video but only to some, Inner City Press has reported innercitypress.com/ddc73amorssicp… and inquired, and will live tweet, thread below. Song soundcloud.com/innercitypress…

Judge G. Michael Harvey, who seems to believe the videos have been made available to the public (they have not) is about to rule, based on the video. "I do not believe he is a risk of flight, but the government has shown he is a danger to the community."

Judge Harvey: The government points to his texts he sent, saying he was considering leaving the country because the government was "crushing" everyone. Mr. Morss was arrested 6 months later, in his home, in Pennsylvania. But in terms of danger, it's complicated

Judge Harvey: I have reviewed all the videos and make the following findings
[on judicial documents that should be made available to the public at large]
He entered after rioters tried to push through a fence. Mr Morss grabs a baton. Gov Exhibit cited.

Judge Harvey: Government Exhibit O has sound...
[Why is it not in the docket, or on a publicly available platform, rather than password protected USAfx? more on this soon]

Judge Harvey: His tactical vest has armored plate. He wrote that he'd be bringing his "plate carrier." He was wearing body armor on January 6. He had a knife- I don't know why a person would need that for a peaceful protest. At one point in the video he is pushing

Judge Harvey: The government's evidence is strong, with surveillance videos, body warn camera videos... He is a veteran, 3 tours in Afghanistan, with untreated PTSD. But he used his training for this. In Munchel, we're told to consider resources and capabilities

Judge Harvey: This was not a momentary loss of reason. His conduct lasted over hours. His release would pose a danger. He may try to form a militia. I remand Mr. Morss to the Marshals.
