Great scoop from @DevlinBarrett here on the feds’ 2018 interview with Rudy Giuliani at Trump’s hotel:
“They seemed like straight kids,” Giuliani said in this story with @svdate: huffpost.com/entry/rudy-giu…
Giuliani thought he was interviewed by FBI agents working with the inspector general’s office, but that wasn’t quite right.
That’s **checks notes** Rudy Giuliani saying former FBI agents were “going a little batty.”

NEW:

Officer Jeff Smith’s widow has been trying to figure out what happened to him on Jan. 6 for months.

In the last 24 hours, #SeditionHunters found the assault on Smith and IDed one of the rioters. A lawsuit has already been filed.

“I thought the ‘I’ in FBI stood for ‘investigation.’ It’s pretty lame that a private lawyer for a dead police officer’s widow has to be the one conducting the investigation.” huffpost.com/entry/jeff-smi…
"the direct and proximate cause of Officer Smith’s death is post-concussive syndrome.” Image

NEW: Alan Byerly has stipulated to pretrial detention. He’s not fighting it.
Judge tells Alan Byerly he can challenge his detention down the line. He’ll likely be transported to D.C. soon. #greybeaniemeanie
Government plans to engage in plea negotiations before the indictment comes down.

(Standard reminder that a plea agreement doesn’t necessarily mean a lax punishment. Most cases are settled with a plea agreement, it’s the details that matter.)

“I find myself in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen… I was completely blown away by the Rotunda.” — Jan. 6 defendant Robert Reeder, expressing a common sentiment.
H/T to @emptywheel and @alanfeuer on that one:
Jan. 6 defense lawyers were pretty blown away by the rotunda too:

A judge today denied the government’s request to revoke the pretrial release of Jan. 6 defendant Russell Taylor, finding they did not meet the “heavy” burden required to keep someone locked up before trial.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said the allegations against Taylor were “serious” and the evidence against him “substantial.” But said the precautions taken — including GPS monitoring — mitigate the government’s concerns.
Judge called Taylor’s conduct "cause for concern” and says it "warrants stringent conditions of pretrial release” but denied motion to lock him up due to the "government’s inability to identify a future threat by clear and convincing evidence.” LINK: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
