Status hearing for George Tanios and Julian Khater, the 2 men arrested in March for "spraying" Brian Sicknick. My column explaining the case here:

amgreatness.com/2021/05/28/as-…
Tanios released on appeal in August. Khater remains in DC jail. Judge Hogan, presiding today, rejected a $15 million bond offer by Khater's family.

Neither man has a criminal record. Video evidence sketchy as hell in the case.

amgreatness.com/2021/08/10/app…
DOJ: Once again confirming discovery issues at DC jail. This is an ongoing problem--jail preventing detainees from looking at evidence.

Khater atty: Prison situation is "dire" beyond discovery. Detainees in solitary, mocked by guards, inadequate food, sleeping, etc.
Jail had Khater discovery 7 weeks ago. He just received it. Client in custody unable to view his discovery. DOJ touts 14,000 hours of video but defense only has a tiny slice.

Contemplating another motion for bond. Facts that the court is not aware of from discovery.
Hogan: Court exec committee knows "great difficulty" dealing with jail. Detainees don't have laptops, etc., to view evidence.

As to jail conditions, Hogan asks for motion to detail what's happening. Problems with "multiple defendants."

Court attempting to resolve. Hey, no rush!
Hogan discussing fact DOJ still does not have its platform up and running for defense to access all digital evidence including videos.

"I am concerned...he is locked in...he has a right to speedy process."

Status hearing in 45 days unless Khater atty files motion for bond.

Political prisoner update: Tim Hale-Cusanelli has been behind bars since he turned himself in on January 15. (In DC Gitmo since early February). He is accused of no violent crime. Hearing this week to delay his trial, set for November 9. A brief history from recent filing:
Judge McFadden, the one who just gave lip service about unequal treatment of J6 vs other political activists, has delayed Hale's speedy trial rights at least 10 times. Now at 240 days past arrest. (This was filed 9/17/)
Spot how many Constitutional rights are violated here...

This is why Judge McFadden's comments about equal justice are mostly lip service. Here's what he told a January 6 protester charged with nonviolent offenses: "You were acting like those looters and rioters who attacked our city last year. You participated in a shameful event...
a national embarrassment that, like last year's riots, made us feel less safe and less confident that our country could be governed by democratic values and not mob rule." Any judge who compares January 6 to the rioting in DC last year should be thrown off the bench.
LOL clown show: "Prosecutors have previously argued that the comparison is unfair and that the insurrection was worse than riots in Portland, Oregon, and other cities last year. They said the January 6 attack was much larger and put hundreds of lawmakers in imminent danger."

You’ll notice at the very beginning of this clip this is when Roseanne Boyland’s body is on the ground. People are begging for help and cops continue to attack protesters outside the tunnel…
More here. Cops continue to assault people as she is dying, maybe dead, after being gassed in the tunnel. These animals cops don’t stop. That’s why people were attacking them
Guess who then dragged her body back thru tunnel? Sergeant Gonell, one of the crying USCP officers. Guess who put her body in Steny Hoyer’s office until paramedics arrived? Officer Harry Dunn. She was pronounced dead at 6:09pm:

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.

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.

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?
