DOJ Spokesman Anthony Coley: "The Department of Justice will make its own independent decisions in all prosecutions based solely on the facts and the law. Period. Full stop.”
A pretty swift response from DOJ on that one! huffpost.com/entry/joe-bide…
Biden gets over his skis a bit and the Justice Department sets things straight in less than an hour.
Quite a departure from the last admin! huffpost.com/entry/doj-trum…

“Am I a fucking piece of shit? Yes.”
“I’m a piece of shit… I’m an asshole.” — Danny Rodriguez. Here’s our story revealing Danny’s identity: huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…
Federal public defenders are great and are going to make the best possible argument on their client’s behalf, but boy D.J. Rodriguez didn’t really give them much to work with here.

Read this piece, then read “Policing The Open Road” if you’re looking for yet another examination of the disastrous impact of car supremacy on American society.
“If we want to make America a decent place to live, dethroning the car from its policy throne is a good place to start.” theweek.com/articles/84544…
“‘We are punishing drivers for doing what the roads are asking them to do,’ Grembek told me in a recent phone interview. Narrow the road, protect bike lanes, and add medians, and drivers will slow down.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

“[I’m] a capitol police officer who agrees with your political stance. Take down the part about being in the building they are currently investigating and everyone who was in the building is going to [get] charged. Just looking out!” huffpost.com/entry/michael-…?
“Next time you want to come to DC just call me, you can stay at my house on the shore for free and bring your daughter to the museums… If you want to see the capitol building, lets do it legally next time... I know a guy who can get you a tour... lol.” huffpost.com/entry/michael-…?
“Person-1” isn’t named, but appears to be Jacob Hiles, who turned himself in on Jan. 19, took a “hit” of an unidentified substance inside the Capitol, and has an interest in fishing (he’s a fishing charter captain, in fact!). His sentencing is next month. huffpost.com/entry/michael-…?

NEW: Gary Wickersham of Pennsylvania, who may be the eldest Jan. 6 defendant, has pleaded guilty to a class B misdemeanor.

He’s an 81-year-old veteran living in a suburb of Philly, per defense attorney. (He was 80 when he stormed the Capitol.)
"The defendant believes that the entire event was staged, and that law enforcement purposefully did not have enough resources there so that supporters of the former president could overrun the Capitol and be subsequently labeled as 'intruders.” justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
Wickersham pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth, a 78-year-old on senior status who is a few years younger than Wickersham.
