“He was not himself. He was not the Jeff that left on the sixth, it was a completely different person that came home.”

Looking forward to watching @LACaldwellDC’s interview with Officer Jeffrey Smith’s widow this evening.
“His bodycam footage, shared with NBC News, shows that he was attacked with his own baton.” nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
Had the pleasure of speaking with Erin Smith after @Forrest_Rogers and co. identified two of the Capitol rioters her late husband battled on Jan. 6: huffpost.com/entry/sedition…
Here’s a card that the sleuths made to identify Jeff Smith in the crowd:
There still haven’t been any charges against either Jan. 6 rioter, including David Walls-Kaufman. He’s a D.C. chiropractor and tai chi instructor based just a couple blocks from the Capitol. huffpost.com/entry/jeff-smi…

MAGA fanatic Samuel Lazar is appearing before Judge Amy B. Jackson for a detention hearing, and it’s not looking great for him.

“He calls them 'fucking tyrants,’” she says. “He thinks he’s above the law."

Previously:

Judge Amy B. Jackson: “I’m not sure I can derive much comfort from the fact that the defendant is only alleged to have participated in one insurrection while armed in between January and his arrest in July.”

Darrell Neely, a right-winger who hosted a show on something called the “Global Enlightenment Radio Network,” has been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack. Feds say he wore a stolen U.S. Capitol Police hat in a YouTube video on Jan. 7.
"NEELY displayed china plates that he insinuated were from the Capitol building and a jacket that he claimed was a U.S. Capitol Police jacket.” Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
You look at so many of these Facebook pages of the Jan. 6 defendants, and it’s clear they’re just like shouting into the void. Prolific posters, but little if any engagement.

Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell of D.C. has stayed the order of a federal magistrate judge in New York, who said that Jan. 6 defednant Cody Mattice (aka #FenceSnatcher #CodyFromRochester) could go home until trial. He was caught spraying officers and ripping away a fence.
Here’s our coverage of the arrest of Cody Mattice and his buddy James Mault: huffpost.com/entry/cody-mat…
Down in North Carolina, a federal magistrate judge ordered James Mault detained.

Why was he in North Carolina? Because he lost his civilian job because of his actions on Jan. 6, but was allowed to reenlist in the U.S. Army.

“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.

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.
