Status hearing up now for Tim Hale-Cusanelli. He’s been in jail since January 15, charged with no violent crime related to January 6. Trial set for November 9, DOJ asking for another continuance. McFadden said he was not inclined to delay trial. We’ll see what he says today
McFadden said last week he was concerned about unfair treatment btw J6 and “social unrest” protesters. Hale is in DC jail. McFadden explaining District Court COVID rules limiting in-person trials. This will be his excuse to delay trial. “This will be first January 6 case.”
“No room in courthouse for this trial. Logistical nightmare. I don’t see any case as recent as this one.” 2019, 2020 cases starting first.
DOJ: Discovery update. Database with digital evidence still not up and running. Claims it will be accessible Oct 11. 5k hours USCP video

Will give more on a “rolling” basis including more USCP video, BWC recordings.
McFadden asks if Hale atty has access to discovery video. DOJ says no. Defense needs a license to access the platform.
BWC from “non uniformed” DC metro cops will be posted.

LOL once again discovery in this case given to defense last night. A mistake, DOJ claims.
DOJ discussing internal investigations into USCP, DC Metro conduct. Those reports will be produced.
DOJ hasn’t had “adequate time” to gather, produce discovery.
This is embarrassing.

NCIS entrapped Hale. He didn’t have a weapon, didn’t assault an officer, didn’t vandalize anything.
DOJ: “This will end.” That’s so sweet. I’m sure a great comfort to all the detainees.
DOJ: Speedy trial act isn’t just about the defendant. Arrested 264 days ago, DOJ says

This AUSA is horrible. “He doesn’t like being incarcerated.”
Government doesn’t even know what it possesses, she says.
McFadden trying to confirm when all video evidence will be accessible. She’s babbling.
Now asking about documentary evidence. Hundreds of thousands of pages

“We’re not ready to turn over all these documents.” Some will be privileged docs.
Jonathan Crisp, Hale atty, up now. McFadden now says he’s looking at an April 2022 date.
McFadden backtracking on his tough talk earlier. I’m not shocked.
Crisp says discovery he’s received…

is repetitive. Crisp says he’s willing to go forward on evidence he’s received so far.
McFadden granting motion for continuance. LOL. He’s now explaining why it’s ok for Hale sit in jail for over a year awaiting trial. Discovery is “unprecedented.” And COVID.

“I have concern how this case has proceeded.” Indict first, evidence later. He’s said this before. He complained about discovery delay over the summer.
McFadden now blaming Hale for delays including APPEALING HIS DETENTION. (It was denied.)
This judge is a complete clown.

“Blame all around.”
McFadden has delayed this case at least 10 times.
Hale delayed case himself by switching attorneys, he says.
Complaints of oppressive pretrial incarceration is “what any defendant would say.”

McFadden: Delay would only “slightly” push defendant past one year after his arrest.
LOL he usually likes to move trials along. Not one to keep granting continuances. EXCEPT IN THIS CASE.
Vacates current schedule. Set trial for April 4, 2022. But spring break. LOL May 23, 2022
