Judge Howell said some of Cody Mattice’s family members acted "as if he were a hero, as if he were a patriot that day, as opposed to what most of us saw, which is criminal conduct that shook the foundations of our democracy." huffpost.com/entry/cody-mat…

Jeffrey McKellop, a former member of U.S. Special Forces, will be in court tomorrow afternoon trying to secure pretrial release. Here’s video of one of several attacks he made on police on Jan. 6:
