Thomas Sibick, who buried Officer Mike Fanone’s badge in his backyard after Jan. 6, is currently appearing before Judge Amy Berman Jackson. 
Sibick now calls Jan. 6 "a disgrace to our nation that left a scar Trump is ultimately responsible for" and now says he loathes Trump. "He is not a leader and should be ostracized from any political future, what he honestly needs to do is go away!”
"The shame, dishonor, and regret endured are without question the worst emotions ever experienced. I disagree with what occurred that fateful day, especially the trauma suffered by Officer Michael Fanone, it is without question unconscionable.”
Defense filing includes some reports written by D.C. corrections officers praising Sibick’s work ethic.
“Great job on getting vaccinated."

In addition to being in a better place mentally, Sibick’s defense attorney says he’s had a political shift.
“I’m not saying he’s become liberal at all, I’m not saying he’s an Elizabeth Warren fan…”
Lawyer says other locked-up Jan. 6 defendants have become “cult-like” in jail.

Defense asks Sibick where he got his news. Lawyer says he thought it might OANN or Newsmax but no, “It was Fox News.”

Judge Amy Berman Jackson weighs sending Thomas home.
If she sends him home, no cable news, she says. She can’t just ban Fox News in the home, so she goes wider.
“No MSNBC either, the whole thing."
