Listening to hearing on 5 men charged with numerous crimes related to January 6. Judge McFadden presiding. Status hearing but a few are in pre-trial detention. Government just filed another motion explaining delay in full discovery for this case. As I reported last week...
McFadden was not happy in Hale hearing after DOJ admitted it won't fulfill full discovery obligation until early 2022 at the soonest. AUSA talking about plea offers to the defendants.
DOJ still working on a system to furnish all discovery. "Don't know how or when" it will be up.

McFadden: "I am concerned discovery has been a moving target." Defendants incarcerated for a "number of months." Getting to a point where it's "not acceptable." Says government keeps moving promised discovery deadline.
Next status hearing September 20, 2021. Morss and Quaglin in pre-trial detention.
Judd attorney: Most of discovery relates to other defendants.
Christopher Quaglin's new attorney is Joseph McBride.

DOJ wants to transport Quaglin from NJ prison to DC Deplorable jail.
Morss attorney concerned about speed of discovery. He's the "lego man" an Army ranger and high school history teacher. McFadden won't set discovery deadline in his case but is "concerned" about speed, too.

FINALLY: Sills attorney objects to toll of Speedy Trial act. Government decided to arrest 500 people. Now slow-walking discovery.
McFadden objects. Will toll Speedy Trial clock.
McBride now objecting to Quaglin's transport to DC jail. "Plethora of complaints" from facility.

McBride now objecting to Quaglin's transport to DC jail. "Plethora of complaints" from facility.
McBride: Reports of abuse, solitary confinement, no access to legal counsel. Atty-client privilege broken. Brown drinking water, mold. McBride represents Richard Barnett who also reported same conditions.
McBride filed complaint with Amnesty International, ACLU about DC jail.

McFadden: "I haven't heard any complaints from defendants in my cases" from those held in DC jail.
Solitary is because of COVID.
McFadden grants government motion to move Quaglin to DC but will delay a few weeks. Wants him in DC by 9/20 for "in-person" hearing.
Unbelievable.
