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.”
#FacePaintBlowhard spent months going to pro-Trump events when he was wanted by the FBI: huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
He went to a Rudy Giuliani event in May: huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
Judge Amy B. Jackson: He dresses as through he’s ready for war, not as a tourist, not for an ordinary day.

Quotes Sam Lazar saying he maced police “right the fuck back."
Judge Amy B. Jackson: “Why shouldn’t I take him at his word?”

"There’s nothing ambiguous about ‘TAKE THEIR GUNS.’”

Judge Amy B. Jackson says that Sam Lazar enlisted himself as a foot soldier in the attack on democracy.

“Being a mere member of the infantry wasn’t enough for this would-be warrior,” she says.
NEW: Sam Lazar will be locked up until trial. Judge Amy B. Jackson orders the Marshals to transfer Lazar to D.C. Written order forthcoming.

This is from a few months ago, but boy did the feds botch their interpretation of this anti-Biden sticker at the home of a Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on video forcibly breaching the police lines and bragged about “fighting cops and shit.”
Anyway, Paul Russell Johnson was in court today trying to sever his case from Stephen Chase Randolph, who was tracked down thanks to a facial recognition hit on his girlfriend’s public Instagram page: huffpost.com/entry/facial-r…
Johnson’s lawyers wrote that he faced "soul-crushing anxiety” and that the government wrongfully labeled him a “Three Percenter.”

He did have a "III" sticker and a bunch of weapons at his home.

Joining @DeadlineWH shortly to discuss the Jan. 6 investigation and the FBI’s revealing interview with Danny Rodriguez, the MAGA fanatic who electroshocked D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Mike Fanone.
After they nabbed D.J. Rodriguez (aka #TaserPrick) in March, the FBI told him that “antifa, BLM, and the Huffington Post” were “telling the Danny Rodriguez story” and that he should talk to them to get his story out there. huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
Danny Rodriguez went on to call himself “not smart,” “so stupid,” “an asshole,” and a “fucking piece of shit.” huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…

Josiah Colt — the Capitol rioter who seemed to confuse the House chamber (400+ seats, says “House” everywhere) for the Senate chamber (100 desks, says “Senate” everywhere) — is set to make a court appearance. He pleaded guilty to felony Obstruction and is cooperating with feds.
His statement of facts indicated that Colt did want to go to the Senate, although he later claimed he was “the first person to sit in what he mistakenly described as the House Speaker’s chair.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… ImageImage
Cooperation component: "Your client shall testify fully, completely and truthfully before any and all Grand Juries in the District of Columbia and elsewhere…” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image

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.

“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…
