STANDBY: Another high-level plea agreement is imminent in Jan 6 prosecution. Accused OathKeeper conspirator nicknamed "Turmoil" (Jason Dolan) is expected to plead guilty in minutes
Will keep you updated
It'll be guilty plea to two counts:
Conspiracy
Obstruction of Official Proceeding
Dolan agrees to cooperate with the feds, testify before a grand jury
**Yet another accused OathKeeper who'll be working with the Justice Dept **
Sentencing guidelines (estimated)
Roughly 5 to 6 years in prison
Per judge
Dolan is accused of being part of the military stack that breached the Capitol on Jan 6
Prosecutors allege Dolan "maneuvered" his way to front of the mob and pulled on arm of Capitol Police officer who was part of a police line that was trying to hold the crowd at bay
No sentencing date scheduled, as Dolan cooperates. A status update with court is likely before Christmas
Dolan remains released, under court restrictions

STANDBY: Donald Craighead is scheduled to appear in court this hour. Craighead, of California, is accused of having a machete in his pickup truck near Democratic National Committee headquarters yesterday. And police say the truck had a swastika image on it
Per court filings from prosecutors, Craighead told Capitol Police, "Why are you pulling me over when there are brown people hurting white people" ==>
Prosecutors' court filing says the machete in Craighead's truck had a 21-inch blade and was on his front dashboard
Heads-up: Court hearing is beginning in Jan 6 case of Brian Mock
Mock's accused of multiple assaults vs police (One of which led to "excruciating pain" for officer), alleged threats vs ex-girlfriend, prior case of putting gun to kids' heads
He's pleaded NOT GUILTY.. standby
Feds tell the court they have made a plea offer (verbally) to Mock. More formal offer forthcoming, per prosecutor
Standby... Mock is now speaking. And says he has a series of complaints about prior proceedings
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
ALERT: US Capitol Police announce disciplinary actions against six officers for conduct on Jan 6. Nothing criminal per agency. News release linked here ==> uscp.gov/media-center/p…
