A little late to this hearing. Lawyer for Cuoy Griffin blasting DOJ for refusal to turn over Brady 7 months later. Finally fighting DOJ nonstop request to exclude time from Speedy Trial clock. DOJ forcing defendants to choose btw speedy trial or receipt of exculpatory evidence.
Complaining DOJ will not release videos showing police moving barricades and letting people into the building. DOJ has the videos, won’t allow defendants to access. This includes USCP surveillance video and open source. “Sophie’s Choice” of his rights.
Of course McFadden defending DOJ. Lawyer has OPR reports on USCP that shows officers letting people in. Prosecutor claims they’re working on it. Griffin not charged with serious crime. Prosecutor accuses Griffin lawyer of misrepresenting facts.
McFadden: No Brady violation. Griffin was arrested in January.
LOL DOJ: Mr. Griffin made himself be videoed on hundreds or thousands of cameras. She’s very pissy. Yes I’m sure he knew there were surveillance cameras everywhere and he would be charged of crimes.

Hearing up next for Jacob Lang. He's been detained since January--in DC Deplorable jail since February.
His lawyers' motions for release detail what Lang saw outside the west terrace tunnel when Roseanne Boyland died. "What about men who showed up to peacefully protest...
and when they went to challenge their government with words – where met with tear gas, flash bangs, and
some odd gas that, Phillip Anderson put it as orange in color and immediately made people unable to breathe, almost instantly. What do you do as a man when you see officers...
physically beating women, do you just turn a blind eye and back on unarmed, defenseless women. These helpless, unarmed women being physically beaten right in front of these men lends justification to these men’s actions." Several of those men are in jail under pretrial detention.
Media going ALL OUT to deflect reality the Biden regime is holding political prisoners. This is a gem by @alanfeuer.
“All of those being detained on charges related to Jan. 6 are facing serious charges like assault or obstruction of Congress.” nytimes.com/2021/09/17/us/…
Now maybe @alanfeuer knows something I don’t. Please disclose how many protesters who’ve disrupted Congress were held behind bars for MONTHS on an obstruction charge. Especially under a statute aimed at interfering in Congressional investigations not a political protest.
Now @alanfeuer won’t engage me because that propaganda is aimed at gratifying the bloodlust of NYT readers. It’s not up for serious debate. Maybe Alan can explain how it’s ok to keep nonviolent defendants such as Watkins, Meggs, Harrelson, Hale at DC jail for several months?
Ken Harrelson arrested in March. He’s been detained ever since. His lawyer today said he looks terrible, can’t get a shave or haircut, has a medical condition.
Oath Keepers status hearing. DOJ says it’s making “progress” on discovery. Lol FBI put together still shots of USCP surveillance video for defense. DOJ does NOT want that video made public or even to defense. Just amazing.
Reminder that DOJ and USCP have total control over 14,000 surveillance video from January 6. In a recent update, DOJ said half the footage was not relevant to J6 investigation.
Judge Mehta asking if defense will be able to access video for a specific area of the Capitol.
He says it’s “critical” for defense to access video. The legal battle for USCP footage will be huge.
As we mourn the murder of nearly 3,000 Americans while taking our lives back to that horrific and heartbreaking day 20 years ago, I wonder how many feel how I do.
Unlike 20 years ago, I believe the biggest threat to America doesn’t exist outside our border. It resides here.
Our political, government, business, and academic leadership are destroying the goodness and hope of this country. They’re doing far worse damage than any foreign terror cell could possibly hope to achieve. It’s why their comparisons btw 9/11 to January 6 are so revealing.
Look no further than the collaboration between every powerful interest in 2020 to oust Donald Trump. When the folks in charge hijack one of our most sacred rights, then brag about it in plain sight, what’s more threatening to our democracy than that?
First trial date is set for end of January for detained defendants. Five Oath Keepers are behind bars awaiting trial, some have been in jail since January. Accused of no violent crimes.
Mehta addressing Ken Harrelson -- John Pierce was his attorney. He's been MIA.
David Fischer is Thomas Caldwell's attorney. He has filed a lengthy motion that argues obstruction of an official proceeding did not apply to Electoral College certification. Other attorneys have as well.
There is zero change Mehta will dismiss this charge.
