Judge Amy Berman Jackson has given the government until Nov. 5 to extend a plea offer to Danny Rodriguez or explain why they haven’t. huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
Judge ABJ: DOJ must say by Nov. 5 whether they want to join Rodriguez's case with others, and if they want to extend that deadline, that "vague references to ongoing investigations or extenuating circumstances will not suffice.” documentcloud.org/documents/2109…
Here’s the list of potential trial dates for #TaserPrick:
Meanwhile, the government must respond by this Friday to Rodriguez’s motion to suppress his FBI interview and his potential plan to argue he electroshocked Officer Mike Fanone “under public authority” on behalf of Donald Trump. huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…

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:
DOJ argues McKellop has "a short fuse,” has shown "an unwillingness to conform his behavior to the most basic requirements of society” and has a "lack of appreciation for the seriousness of his conduct on January 6.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

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…

Hearing underway shortly on the detention of Cody Mattice, a "stay-at-home dad” who attacked cops on Jan. 6.
DOJ: “the defendant’s care of his children is commendable. But the needs of his children… did not stop him from using pepper spray against officers.” #FenceSnatcher

"Cody from Rochester.mp4” will be part of the record.
