Before she put a Jan. 6 pretrial detainee on house arrest earlier this week, a judge expressed some concerns about comments his dad made calling his son’s treatment in jail a disgrace to the country.

The lawyer’s explanation was basically that the dad was privileged and unaware.
The lawyer said that many Jan. 6 defendants and their families seemed to have a very “warped perspective of what jail’s like.”
“The parents of the people in DC jail aren’t crying about ‘this is unfair’… but from his point of view he has higher expectations, I guess, for his son and what should happen.”
Think D.C. activist Ron Moten, in this interview with @MacFarlaneNews, summed it up best. nbcwashington.com/investigations…

The feds say Jan. 6 defendant Jenna Ryan — who said she’s “definitely not going to jail” — should definitely go to jail. huffpost.com/entry/jenna-ry…
“Perhaps the most compelling need for specific deterrence arises from the defendant’s misguided belief that she is above the law, or at least insulated from incarceration.” huffpost.com/entry/jenna-ry…
The feds say Jenna Ryan “drew on her considerable experience as a social media influencer to promote violence before her arrival at the Capitol.” huffpost.com/entry/jenna-ry…

It seems there’s a letter floating out there from Capitol defendant Nathaniel DeGrave calling himself a “non violent participant” in the Jan. 6 rally and calling his riot gear a “costume” for a “documentary."

Let’s check the video:
Federal judge, stating the facts: "Mr. DeGrave entered the Capitol building and engaged in violence directed at Capitol Police officers as they tried to secure the building.”
DeGrave, decked out in his battled gear, was so aggressive about chasing down that last security officer that other members of the mob held him back.

The government has indicated that it will object to Danny Rodriguez trying to argue at trial that he electroshocked D.C. Officer Mike Fanone on Jan. 6 on behalf of former President Trump.
They also argue that his Miranda warning before he confessed to electroshocking Officer Mike Fanone was valid, and that his interview should not be suppressed. huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…

Judge: Cody Mattice's "mindset in describing his actions as something 'every day Americans' would do to promote their political beliefs is a troubling indicator that defendant’s willingness to engage in violence for his political ends on January 6 may not be an aberration.” ImageImageImageImage
Chief Judge Beryl Howell ordered Cody Mattice detained pretrial during a court hearing last week, but here’s the written order.

The judge said Cody Mattice’s actions "demonstrate a complete disregard for the law and willingness to use force to achieve political ends, raising serious concerns about the danger that defendant poses if released pending trial.” ImageImage

"SORGENTE was filmed and/or photographed wearing at least two different red 'Make America Great Again' baseball hats on January 6.” Link via @gwupoe: extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/…
“What are you doing? What are you doing? How does it feel to be a traitor?” he asked, standing in front of a confederate flag. "How does it feel to be a traitor? What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”
