BREAKING: Trump fanatic Samuel Lazar, who bragged about assaulting cops on Jan. 6, has been ordered held until trial. He palled around with GOP politicians at a Giuliani event in PA when he was wanted by the FBI. #facepaintblowhard #SeditionHunters huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Remarkably, Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather indicated that it was evidence found by online sleuths that (yet again) made the difference in this case. She was considering home detention until those gun photos surfaced. #SeditionHunters #facepaintblowhard huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Magistrate Judge Meriweather moments ago: “I remand Mr. Lazar into the custody of the Marshals to be held without bond…” #facepaintblowhard huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Me, an older millennial journalist, realizing my “palling around” reference is probably lost on Gen Z.
I should note: Samuel Lazar’s teenage girlfriend / proposed third-party custodian was evidently on the line the whole time, they just never got to her.

Something that really stuck out during this hearing is that the government and judge didn’t seem fully aware of Sam Lazar’s conduct on Jan. 6. The prosecutor was only just beginning to review the Facebook returns, which are going to be an absolute goldmine for the prosecution.
Samuel Lazar’s family basically LIVES on Facebook and they all got sucked in deep to Trump world and delusional voter fraud conspiracy theories, so there should be a ton of evidence in those search warrant returns.
