DOJ prosecutor publicly told court what those of us following Capitol Breach probe already knew: The government still hasn’t made evidence accessible to defendants and defense lawyers. And full discovery won’t be available until early 2022–at the earliest: amgreatness.com/2021/07/30/unp…

McFadden scolded DOJ for arresting first, building case much later. Nearly 7 months after first arrests, DOJ admits full trove of digital evidence, which may include exculpatory evidence, isn’t available to defendants. But it isn’t stopping DOJ from demanding pre-trial detention.

Hale isn’t charged with any violent crime. He was arrested Jan 15 after 5-hour voluntary interview with FBI. An egregious case—he’s been behind bars since his arrest. McFadden, now worried about constitutional violations, denied his release in March.

Hale was turned in by a colleague who wore a wire to record a conversation about “civil war.”NCIS interrogated nearly 4 dozen co-workers about Hale’s “white supremacist” views.
