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.

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.
