Feds are asking for three months of home confinement for Brittiany Dillon, who claimed she "fought hard” on Jan. 6. Sentencing set for next Monday on her disorderly and disruptive conduct charge.
Brittiany Dillon’s actions were "motivated by false information” and she has shown "a willingness to countenance political violence and a risk of engaging in such violence going forward,” feds say.
"We may lose all communications. An all out civil war may start. It will be fast because our side is more prepared.”
"Dillon also claimed that she did not support violence except in extreme circumstances like the Revolutionary War, but it is clear from her text messages that she viewed the Presidential succession as such an extreme circumstance.”
Feds: "motivated by lies, Dillon associated herself with an effort that she saw as part of a civil war, and thus, should not be compared to those who obtained just a probationary sentence.”

The one who said he “air quotes, broke into” the Capitol?
Brandon Fellows isn’t getting out of jail before trial.
Judge: “I gave you a chance… You’ve had chance after change.”
"You are charged with a federal felony, this is not some sort of community college where we give people pats on the back."

Judge Tanya Chutkan will allow Dona Bissey to turn herself in so she can get her affairs in order.
Chutkan tells Bissey she has many resources that other defendants don't, and that she’s not the worst thing she’s ever done.
