Robert Reeder’s sentencing is set for 2 p.m., and @SeditionHunters just found this new image. He took a misdemeanor plea deal in June.

I’ve asked the U.S. Attorney’s Office for comment. This could get interesting fast. #SeditionHunters

Prosecutors wanted two months, but that was before they knew about the image of this assault.

A key graph, from the plea agreement. He’s not out of the woods. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Here’s the kind of content Reeder was engaging with on Facebook:

This is the second time this week alone that a last-minute discovery by #SeditionHunters shook up a case:

NEW: Here’s the new footage of Robert Reeder, who took a misdemeanor plea deal. It shows he was part of a mob that surrounded Capitol Police officers, who lack body cams. He grabs an officer’s shoulder from behind and gets tackled. Sentencing in two hours.

U.S. Attorney’s Office declines to comment. Nothing new on the court docket at the moment. Robert Reeder will appear before Judge Thomas Hogan at 2 p.m.

Holy smokes, even more footage! Robert Reeder’s misdemeanor plea deal still allows prosecutors to charge Robert Reeder with crimes of violence if they discover new evidence. Another incredible find that the feds missed.

Robert Reeder really earned that tackle. Watch the video above from @SeditionHunters. He waits out an officer trying to make his way back up the stairs, then shoves him back down.

Yeah, this case isn’t over today.

Very difficult to imagine that assault slips through the cracks if the U.S. Capitol Police had body cameras.

Robert Reeder has arrived outside the courtroom, wearing a blue medical mask.

I tried to play the video for him, but his lawyer intervened. I repeated several times that it showed him shoving a cop. He’s now waiting for them to unlock the doors.

The mask, I should note, is around his face this time. #chindiaper

Robert Reeder is now at the defense table. He asked court staff for a Kleenex.

To set the scene a bit: The courthouse is very quiet, as most hearings are still virtual. Only a handful of people in the audience inside the courtroom. Everyone is masked, there are plastic dividers on the tables. This hearing should be pretty extraordinary.
