Heavy police presence ringing the Capitol this morning, fleet of plows for crowd control, clear ‘police line’ signage and police vans for mass arrests situations at the ready. Security not messing around. Image
Some Three Percenter regalia here, including one man with a ‘Vietnam Veteran’ hat and jacket . Several affiliated with these loose anti-govt groups were arrested after Jan. 6. ImageImage
A very good boy doing security. Image
Small counterprotest presence here too. No visible pro-Trump signage, which is what organizer asked for. Image
DC police chief Robert Contee III on the scene Image
A very #ThisTown counterprotest Image
Event underway, very low key. Wife of Jonathan Mellis (one of Jan. 6 defendants held in pretrial detention) currently speaking.
Aaaand it’s over. Protesters appeared to be outnumbered by media/cops for duration of event. A muted demonstration that nevertheless put DC on edge and drew an overwhelming display of force from police/government.
USCP chief Manger hanging out with Montgomery County officers (his old force) on front line of Capitol defenses. Image
NEW: DC was on edge, but a rally in support of those arrested on Jan. 6 drew a meager turnout — media presence rivaled the crowd size and overwhelming police force was on display.

Finally listening to Peter Navarro's speech to the RNC and boy did he wildly mischaracterize the contempt case against him and the way Judge Mehta handled it. It just doesn't even resemble what actually happened.
Navarro was prosecuted not because he refused to testify to theJa. 6 committee but because he didn't even show up to assert a privilege. If he walked into the Capitol and said 'executive priivlege' or '5th amendment,' the case wouldn't have happened.
Then, Mehta delayed Navarro's prosecution more than a year to give Navarro a chance to prove that Trump actually did assert executive privilege to block him from testifying. He gave Navarro an evidentiary hearing to present any evidence. But he had none.

NEW: When Donald Trump arrives in Milwaukee, he’ll be under conditions of pretrial release that forbid him from discussing his cases with witnesses and alleged coconspirators.

The arena will be packed full of them. The murky risk Trump faces at the RNC:

Experts we spoke to said Trump having glancing interactions with these people wouldn’t raise alarms. But prolonged discussion or remarks that delve into his cases or appear to attack cooperators/specific individuals could raise flags. politico.com/news/2024/07/1…
At the heart of the issue: Two of Trump’s criminal cases stem from his effort to subvert the 2020 election. Both feature a massive roster of witnesses / alleged coconspirators at all levels of the GOP, many of whom will be attending the RNC.

Rudy Giuliani is steaming right now as creditors urge a judge to either throw out his bankrtupcy case while he liquidates his assets or appoint a trustee to take over his finances/accounts.

Hearing is ongoing, but the judge is expected to rule today on path forward.
Ruby Freeman/Shaye Moss want the case thrown out altogether, their attorneys saying it will enable them "to hold America’s mayor accountable for the harms he’s caused." They say he's used bankruptcy to stall the consequences of his defamation ruling.
Other creditors want a financial monitor appointed to run Rudy's accounts because otherwise they think all proceeds will go to Moss/Freeman and not the many other creditors Rudy owes money to.

BREAKING: Supreme Court, 5-4 with Barrett and libs dissenting, significnatly narrows obstruction statute DOJ has used to prosecute Jan. 6 defendants, could upend hundreds of cases. supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…
This ruling may dramatically impact the 350-plus cases of obstrcution against Jan. 6 defendants but have relatively little effect on the obstruction charges against Donald Trump. The court held that the statute in question must include manipulation of physical documents.
Justice JACKSON, who joined the majority here, also offers a roadmap for prosecutors to sustain their cases against the vast majority of Jan. 6 defendants charged with 1512, noting that even in the narrow view, the defendants sought to impair access to electoral certificates. Image
