A hearing in the case against the man accused of assaulting Officer Michael Fanone is about to begin.

Background from April, @lawcrimenews
lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-si…
Prosecutors say plea negotiations are underway in the case.
The case has three defendants. The plea offers will not be tied together.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sets a date for another conference on Nov. 29.
If the parties want to resolve the case before then—i.e. with plea deals—there are lots of dates before now and then when that can happen, the judge adds.

Adjourned.

An Air Force veteran who posted a photo of a door next to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's conference room with the caption "We're in" has an ongoing sentencing hearing.

I'll be covering it for @lawcrimenews. Image
Derek Jancart engaged in a "propaganda campaign" to convince people that there was no violence at the Capitol, the prosecutor says.

"He has expressed no remorse for his actions," she says.
"He swore an oath to defend the country," and instead he participated in an "attack on democracy itself," the prosecutor says.

"'There Is Going to Be Violence': Man Seen Smoking Joint Inside U.S. Capitol Allegedly Discussed 'Shipping Guns,' Called Jan. 6 the 'Boogaloo'"

A deep dive into Ronald Sandlin and Nathaniel DeGrave's superseding indictment, @lawcrimenews.

Quick thread— lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-br…
The grand jury really ratcheted up the charges with this new indictment.

And the prosecution's investigation apparently considerably advanced since the guilty plea and cooperation of their alleged co-conspirator Josiah Colt.
The new charges detail their chilling alleged communication before Jan. 6, a day Sandlin supposedly believed Trump would decide to "cross the Rubicon."

A frequent pro-Trump fantasy around the time, the phrase refers to Julius Caesar action that led to him becoming a dictator.

A hearing is about to begin for the ex-police officer charged in the breach of the U.S. Capitol.

A judge kept him jailed pending trial after feds said they found guns and "pipe bomb" components in his home.

Background, @lawcrimenews: lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-br…
AUSA Elizabeth Ann Aloi said investigation is still going on as to the allegations at the heart of that detention motion.

She said she doesn't expect a superseding indictment related to that in this case.

Obstructing an official proceeding will be the top charge.
The prosecutor notes Robertson isn't in jail for the charges against him, but his failure to follow court orders.

—That is, by being found with 34 guns in his home.

A hearing is about to begin in the Jan. 6 case of Brandon Fellows, who said he wanted to represent himself earlier this month.

He did so despite acknowledging the whole 'fool for a client' adage.

Background, @lawcrimenews: lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-br…
For now, his lawyer Cara Kurtz Halverson is in court.

AUSA Thomas A. Gillice for the government.

Judge: Are you still interested in representing yourself?

Fellows: Yes, sir.

Asked if he ever studied law, Fellows replies he has in the last three or four weeks.
Judge McFadden asks if Fellows understands the top count is a felony.

"Yes, I don't think it's gonna hold," he replies.

The judge presses does he understand he currently faces significant jeopardy from the charges.

Fellows says he does.
