Tune in tomorrow as a 35-year-old Rudy Giuliani fanatic caught on video assaulting police and urging other rioters to steal officers’ guns argues he should be released pretrial, under the supervision of his teenage girlfriend who graduated high school during the pandemic.
Oh and also even when he was on the FBI list he kept showing up to political events. He wore a “back the blue” t-shirt to one. huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
There’s a reason that those who want to call Jan. 6 defendants being held pretrial “political prisoners” never want to get into the actual details of their well-documented crimes. huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…

This week, the city of Philadelphia agreed to pay $2 million to a woman after officers smashed out her windows, ripped her out of her car, beat her, and took her child. inquirer.com/news/philadelp…
After officers grabbed the toddler out of his car seat and beat his mother, the National FOP spread a false narrative all over social media, claiming the child was found “wandering around barefoot” during a riot.
So the mother’s lawyers “are not done yet.” They’re suing the FOP for smearing the mother and posting “propaganda to promote a fake savior narrative.”

Jan. 6 defendants Jean Lavin and her daughter Carly Krzywicki were arrested in Connecticut. after a Facebook friend turned them into the FBI.

"KRZYWICKI stated she posted a picture on Facebook, but later deleted it because it seemed like a bad idea to leave it up." Image
The FBI appears to have pulled an open-source video from @propublica’s Jan. 6 Parler video database that "shows LAVIN and KRZYWICKI climbing a bike rack that rioters had repurposed from barricades to ladders.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
Here’s the video in question. Look for the giant homemade “TRUMP WON” sign with the giant American flags. Tough to miss! projects.propublica.org/parler-capitol…

Plea hearing set for 2 p.m. for Jan. 6 defendant Andrew Hatley, who posed with a statue of white supremacist John Calhoun inside the Capitol crypt.

Hatley's case was tied up in a bow thanks to a search warrant return from his Life360 account. ImageImage
"When HATLEY was asked about the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, HATLEY advised he was not sure how much he should say without legal counsel because he could be in a great deal of trouble.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
Hatley, 34, tells the judge he went to high school and then trucking school. He will enter a guilty plea to the parading / demonstrating / picketing misdemeanor charge.

“This seems to be the least bad option available,” he tells the judge.
