Hearing now underway for five members of the Munn family of Texas.
Background: huffpost.com/entry/5-member…
All five defendants have their own defense lawyers.

Dawn Munn (“We were in capital!! … I do mean IN the building!!”) is being represented by a D.C. defense attorney who gave her clients remedial lessons in American history. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
It was a quick hearing. They’ll be back in court in late September, to give time for discovery and potential plea discussions.

Hearing now underway for Matthew Loganbill, who admitted to the FBI he told a Capitol officer "we came peacefully this time,” but that “it would be different if we have to come again.”

He also commented sarcastically on Facebook: "I'm just a dumb ‘terrorist' I guess.”
Loganbill’s case featured this pretty memorable footnote:
Loganbill is the owner of Tooth and Nail Armory in Missouri, but the value of that business isn’t liquid. Loganbill is going to get a court-appointed lawyer for the time-being, but may have to reimburse the cost of his defense down the line.

An extremely effective argument the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia isn't making here, but could: Um, did you see what we tried to do to the Trump inauguration protesters a few years ago?
Felony rioting charges for non-violent protesters who were kettled in a public street and DIDN’T storm the U.S. Capitol. huffpost.com/entry/protesti…

A plea hearing is now underway for Capitol defendant Andrew Ryan Bennett. The Maryland man was wearing a Proud Boy hat during the Capitol attack, and live-streamed on Facebook inside the Capitol building. Feds say he chanted “break it down!’” at Speaker’s Lobby doors.
Andrew Ryan Bennett will take a misdemeanor charge, and his max sentence would be six months. Here’s what he posted on Facebook before Jan. 6:
Bennett acknowledges to the judge that he was in the Capitol unlawfully, but did not engage in any destruction.

Hearing for former Virginia police officer Thomas Robertson is now underway.

Robertson’s son Hunter Robertson, 21, is now on the stand. The younger Robertson just got out of the Army a few weeks ago, he said.
On the stand, Hunter Robertson claimed that the M4 rifle found in father’s bedroom belongs to him. He said his gun was in his dad’s room because there’s a gun safe with magazines in there. Prosecutor asked for brief recess, saying the son has provided inconsistent accounts.
Hunter Robertson said he also had a Glock 19 in his truck in the driveway and claims again the M4 is his and wasn’t in the house when his father was home. Feds previously said Hunter Robertson "declined to provide any information” about the M4 during the search.

A must-read thread from @AndyKimNJ on ugly attacks he’s faced in our shared home district:
The argument from the GOP candidate at the time was that people who noted that this ham-fisted mailer was race-baiting were the REAL race-baiters.
This time, Kim’s opponent is saying the South Jersey native is not “one of us,” did not “put America first,” and was controlled by “overlords.”

Too subtle? She also tossed in “kowtow” for good measure.

Now she says he’s playing the “race card.”
