NEW: Jan. 6 bus organizer Frank Scavo sentenced to 60 days behind bars in his misdemeanor Jan. 6 case. Feds had only requested two weeks. He’ll be allowed to start serving in the new year. Judge Royce Lamberth also gave him the max fine: $5,000. huffpost.com/entry/frank-sc…
Senior Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, has joined Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, in handing out sentences for Jan. 6 defendants that are harsher than what the government requested. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
As @ZoeTillman writes, Judge Lamberth felt burnt after the first Jan. 6 defendant he sentenced to probation went on Laura Ingraham and downplayed her conduct. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Judge Lamberth also gave QAnon Shaman 41 months when he sentenced him last week: huffpost.com/entry/qanon-sh…

Following a request by the Press Coalition, Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ordered that any opposition to the release of the video of Danny Rodriguez’s confession to electroshocking Officer Mike Fanone be filed by Wednesday.
The Press Coalition filed the motion the day that clips of the confession video were played in court. (Note: HuffPost is part of Buzzfeed, Inc.)

When the FBI questioned Danny Rodriguez about electroshocking Mike Fanone on Jan. 6, they told him “antifa, BLM, and the Huffington Post” were "telling the Danny Rodriguez story.”

Jan. 6 defendant John Lolos is going off on a rant about voter fraud during his sentencing.
John Lolos: “I see a window, it’s broken, people are going inside, yeah, I went inside, your honor.”
Lolos is going on a pretty batty rant, now claiming that “the smallest police officer I’ve ever seen in my whole life” was encouraging him to come into the Capitol.

He dismisses his agreed upon statement of offense: “We can stick to that version if we want to, your honor."

NEW: Feds say Indiana’s Mark Mazza brought a gun to the Capitol on Jan. 6, lost it while he was battling cops, and then falsely reported his gun was stolen.
"uhhh... do you want the official version?"

Dale Shalvey, the farmer who mistakenly thought that @tedcruz was going to sell Trump supporters out because he didn’t understand how the Senate / the electoral college process works, is in court along with his wife, Tara Stottlemyer.
Judge Timothy J. Kelly says he is “very skeptical” of Tara Stottlemyer’s request to possess a gun to kill raccoons going after her chickens.

Seeing a claim out there that the DOJ “designated Jacob Chansley a domestic terrorist.” Big, if true. It’s not. While DOJ accurately referred to Jan. 6 as an act of domestic terrorism (using boilerplate language), they did not seek a terrorism sentencing enhancement.
Here’s the language in the government’s memo in the Paul Hodgkins case from July versus their memo in the Jacob Chansley case this month:
“The department is very judicious about deploying the term [domestic terrorism] in the first instance, and typically will only do so in the backend of litigation when the facts and circumstances are going to be clear.” huffpost.com/entry/white-te…
