Three Jan. 6 defendants are scheduled to enter guilty pleas in the upcoming week.

First up, on Monday, is William Blauser of Ludlow, Pennsylvania. ImageImageImageImage
Next up, on Wednesday, is Mark Rebegila. ImageImage
Also on Wednesday: Traci Sunstrum. ImageImage
On the sentencing front: Kevin Cordon — who the feds says hung the flag he wore to the Capitol on Jan. 6 above his bed "like a trophy” — will be sentenced on Monday. DOJ wants 30 days incarceration. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… ImageImage
On Tuesday, there's sentencing for John Wilkerson IV. The feds want 60 days of home detention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… ImageImage
Jacob Chansley -- aka the QAnon Shaman -- will be sentenced on Wednesday. Prosecutors are seeking 51 months (he's already served 10). huffpost.com/entry/qanon-sh…
David Mish's sentencing is set for Thursday. His defense team is asking for two days incarceration, and said he "drove to Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 because he was a Trump supporter who sincerely believed in what his former President told him."
John Lolos' sentencing is set for Friday. His defense team said he's a Trump supporter "animated by claims of voter fraud which he believed was rampant in the United States," and requested a probationary sentence.
Also tomorrow: We should learn the government’s sentencing request for Frank Scavo. He’s scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 22. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
On Tuesday, there’s a motion hearing for Danny Rodriguez, the MAGA fanatic who electroshocked Officer Mike Fanone. His federal public defenders are trying to get his confession tossed, and we may end up seeing video of Rodriguez’s confession. huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
Even without the confession, there’s zero doubt about Danny Rodriguez’s actions on Jan. 6.
"I'm going to take it to trial,” Danny Rodriguez told the FBI after his arrest. "I guess I'll take my chances with a jury, see how they feel.” ImageImage
There are also a few potentially newsworthy status conference hearings this week. Rachel Powell (aka #BullhornLady) will be before Judge Royce Lamberth at 11 a.m. tomorrow. As of a few months ago she was weighing a plea deal.
Jan. 6 defendant Jose Padilla is due before Judge John Bates at 12:30. huffpost.com/entry/jose-pad…
Brent Bozell IV is due before Judge John Bates on Tuesday at 11 a.m. huffpost.com/entry/brent-bo…

DOJ seeking nearly seven years in federal prison for Ryan Nichols, who will be sentenced on Thursday.
Ryan Nichols talked about his desire to drag politicians through the streets before getting to the Capitol, assaulted law enforcement on video, then confessed on video in the third person.

This is what Donald Trump Jr. falsely claimed about his case, before Ryan Nichols pleaded.
Before Donald Trump Jr. took up his cause, Ryan Nichols told the FBI that he “no longer trusted” Donald Trump and his ilk because he “felt they had led him in the wrong direction.”

A lawyer for Jan. 6 defendant Russell Taylor wrote in a sentencing memo today that Ronald Reagan appointed Judge Royce C. Lamberth now has "the equivalent of a PhD in the events of January 6th."

Here's what Judge Lamberth has been saying about the GOP's "preposterous" rhetoric: Image
"The Court is accustomed to defendants who refuse to accept that they did anything wrong. But in my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"While Lamberth did not refer to the politicians by name, he used quotations from Reps. Andrew Clyde... Marjorie Taylor Greene... Elise Stefanik... former President Donald Trump..." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

There really are some strang moments in the Jan. 6 CCTV footage being released by House Republicans. Like here's the elusive #Individual4 revealing his face because he goes to take a swig of stolen Coke, and then here's Kevin McCarthy in the same spot hours later.

That might just be the best face shot of #individual4!

Haven't seen any Fox News coverage of John Sullivan's six year prison sentence, even though they covered his case pretty extensively at first!

(Their story from the trial in November 2023 was just taking NBC News' reporting without including a link.)

As @JordanOnRecord noted, Judge Lamberth noted that John Sullivan attempted to adopt the "protective veneer of a journalist" after the riot.

“For Mr. Sullivan, violence was an end in and of itself,” Lamberth said.

BREAKING: John Sullivan sentenced to SIX YEARS in federal prison, putting him in the top tier of Jan. 6 sentences.
Judge Lamberth noted that most Jan. 6 rioters “wrongly but sincerely believed the election was stolen” and said Sullivan was the only Jan. 6 defendant he knew of who “showed up to the Capitol despite not subscribing to the goals of the protest.”

NEW: Feds seeking 7+ years in federal prison for John Sullivan, which would put him pretty high up on the list of Jan. 6 sentences.

At trial, prosectors told jurors that he came to the Capitol with the "goal of inciting the crowd," and showed evidence he bragged he wanted to "make those Trump supporters f--- s--- up."Image
"Sullivan also told Sacker that his motivations were 'siding with anyone willing to rip this down and put something new in place, put something better in place. Pretty simple.'" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
DOJ: "As his campaign to sell footage to news outlets evolved, Sullivan suddenly began relabeling himself as a journalist—even changing the caption of his website from 'activist' to 'journalist.'"
