Scott Fairlamb wanted to speak to the @January6thCmte, according to a filing from his attorney today, but the D.C. jail “would not allow the U.S. House of Representatives permission to come inside the jail and interview the Defendant along with counsel.”
Scott Fairlamb feels he was "duped by social media prior to January 6,” his attorney says.

"Epiphanies are rare but it certainly didn't take Mr. Fairlamb long to realize that his previous line of thinking was incorrect.”

"Prior to owning and operating a gym, the Defendant was a security guard at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken; New Jersey. He also graduated from the Essex ·County Sheriff's Department Program, a law enforcement-training program.”
In addition to a brother in the Secret Service, Scott Fairlamb’s dad was also a New Jersey trooper. huffpost.com/entry/scott-fa…

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ordered DOJ to advise her by Wednesday whether there’s a video of Daniel Rodriguez confessing to electroshocking D.C. Officer Mike Fanone during the Capitol attack, and to provide a copy to the court if there is.
This is the interview where Daniel Rodriguez refers to himself as a “fucking piece of shit” and a FBI special agent told him he need to combat the story being told "by antifa, BLM, and the Huffington Post.” huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
Danny Rodriguez’s federal public defenders want his confession suppressed because he endured "a traumatic arrest at his home” and was "questioned early in the morning on little sleep” by agents who used "psychologically coercive interrogation tactics."
