A crying pro-Trump rioter was sentenced to 41 months in prison after he assaulted a cop on Jan. 6. huffpost.com/entry/scott-fa…
A tearful Fairlamb said he had brought shame upon his family and asked the judge to “show some mercy” when sentencing him for his “completely irresponsible, reckless behavior” on Jan. 6. huffpost.com/entry/scott-fa…
“The government has been nothing but fair, honest, transparent, and very reasonable,” says Harley Breite, Scott Fairlamb’s attorney.
Scott Fairlamb’s lawyer says his client no longer thinks that the election was stolen.
“I think that he’s more aware of the divisiveness and the willingness of certain news outlets to serve and cater to an agenda rather than absolute truth.”
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.”
"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.”
Also on the books this week: A number of Jan. 6 guilty pleas.
First up on Tuesday is Cleveland Browns fan Oliver Sarko, who entered Senator Jeff Merkley’s office and the Senate spouses’ room. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Lonnie Coffman’s plea hearing is set for Friday. He came to D.C. with an arsenal. In December 2020, he told a Ted Cruz staffer that he went to the senator’s house to arrange a meeting on “election fraud” and wanted contact info for Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and Rush Limbaugh.
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."

Scott Fairlamb is set to be sentenced on Nov. 10. The government, in a sentencing memo seeking 3.5+ years in federal prison, disclosed these new images from Jan. 6, including one featuring him holding a baton and another with a pepper ball between his teeth:
"Fairlamb expressed that he had been duped by the social media that he had consumed prior to the riot and was deeply regretful for his conduct on January 6.” (H/T @emptywheel) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
