Right now: Defense for Ethan Nordean is again for arguing for his release from jail in Jan 6 case, saying family will put up $1 million bond. Defense has accused Feds of falsely suggesting bond $$ might be “dirty money” (lawyer argued same to me in series of emails)
Feds are arguing Nordean was conspirator. And they tell judge “minutes after he arrived at Capitol, he stormed the gates”
Prosecutors specify there are “hundreds of thousands” of video files that are now part of US Capitol riot investigation. That’s one reason it’s being called largest criminal investigation in US history

Court will try *again* at 1030a for detention hearing in Jan 6 case of Landon Copeland, an Army vet from Utah accused of assaulting police

The local jail has suffered logistical problems. Copeland has had court outbursts. Competency exams were ordered

This case has been a mess
Hearing is happening! Judge will decide whether to continue to hold Copeland in jail pending trial.

Standby
Copeland is appearing virtually from the jail in Utah. Hearing has just begun and it appears Copeland has already raised his virtual hand to speak.

It's not his time to do so yet.
