If you're following the #CapitolRiot cases, keep an eye on tomorrow. 15 Oath Keepers will be arguing to have the indictments against them thrown out. Their key argument: The joint session of Congress on January 6 was not an "official proceeding." Docs: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Other #CapitolRiot defendants facing that obstruction charge – which carries a 20-year max – have put forth similar arguments, including Aaron Mostofsky, the son of a Brooklyn judge. They'll be watching tomorrow's case closely. #CapitolRiot @wusa9

The statements of offense for the 9 #CapitolRiot defendants so far who have pleaded guilty to the obstruction charge have included language affirming that January 6 *was* an official proceeding. The most recent such plea was Duke Edward Wilson, entered this morning. @wusa9

And judges who have heard preliminary arguments against the obstruction charge have expressed skepticism that January 6 was not an official proceeding. There were arguments/objections that were then evaluated & ruled upon, they've pointed out. Not simply ceremonial. #CapitolRiot

So, we will see tomorrow! The hearing is at 2 p.m. before U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta. I'll be live tweeting it here on this free website, so follow me if you're interested in that sort of thing. #CapitolRiot @wusa9
