Sentencing at 3pm in Jan 6 case of Rasha Abual of New Jersey
Prosecutors will show this exhibit (a Facebook post in which Abual allegedly references CIVIL WAR IS COMING) ===>
Abual’s defense lawyer began argument for leniency saying: My client didn’t want to start a Civil War or be part of a Civil War.
Well this is a first. Among the statements seeking leniency, defense says Abual has been stressed and grinding her teeth … and had to go see a dentist.
STANDBY: Court appearance begins shortly for Jan 6 defendant Bigo Barnett.. who's accused of putting feet on desk in Speaker of the House's office, leaving vulgar note, stealing mail
I interviewed Barnett recently ===>
Prosecutors are updating judge on case. They're running through the complications they face in many Jan 6 cases... there's an avalanche of evidence to prepare for court & defense. Unprecedented amount of evidence... feds hope to be ready with it by end of 2021
Feds want another 60 days to prepare this case
The goalposts keep moving in Jan 6 prosecutions. The feds just can't seem to get atop the mountain of evidence
Jan 6 defendant Brian Mock has filed handwritten motion from jail, seeking dismissal of charges. Mock is charged w/ assaulting police & serving as his own defense lawyer
In motion, he alleges "dereliction of duty" & "insubordination" of Capitol Police ..... and more
(THREAD)
Mock then directs blame at police leadership, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Pentagon
==>
Mock then accuses politicians, the media, police and the Justice Dept of perpetuating a "false narrative" of Jan 6... he then uses the phrase "peaceful protest"

Feds are seeking 14 days in jail for Scavo
Prosecutor opens up saying, "The attack on the riot that day was a singularly shameful event in our nation's history. What happened was repugnant to our public"
Prosecutor: "He knew a riot was occurring.... before he entered"
