BIG: Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ordered the public release of Danny Rodriguez’s FBI interview in which he confesses to electroshocking D.C. Officer Mike Fanone.

It’s a must-watch.
FBI to Danny Rodriguez: “Danny gets to choose if he writes a story today with us. But right now, the story that’s being told is by D.C. ― is by antifa, BLM, and the Huffington Post.” huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
Danny Rodriguez’s federal public defenders are trying to get his confession tossed: huffpost.com/entry/daniel-r…
Judge Jackson’s order compels DOJ to make the video "promptly available without restrictions” to members of the media coalition.
The public will get to see one of Officer Mike Fanone’s assailants call himself "not smart," "so stupid," "an asshole," and a "fucking piece of shit” while confessing to electroshocking Fanone in the neck. huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
Danny Rodriguez also describes how he watched InfoWars, tried to join the army when Trump became president, and how he actually literally believed that the election was stolen. huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
“Are we all that stupid that we thought we were going to go do this and save the country and it was all going to be fine after? We really thought that. That’s so stupid, huh?” huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
FBI special agent to Danny Rodriguez: “The court of public opinion has a story from the Huffington Post, has a story from Waterspider on Twitter, from Antifa and BLM. They’re telling the Danny Rodriguez story.” huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
“Tazzzzed the fuck out of the blue,” the Trump enthusiast wrote in the PATRIOTS 45 group chat.
FBI: "So you thought you were going to martyr yourself for the cause of the country?"

DANNY RODRIGUEZ: "I'm so stupid."
“I really don’t know exactly why I Tased him. I mean, when I Tased him, I really ― you know, like, when you do something, you’re like, goddamnit, why did I do that? I just ― I had ― got caught up in the moment and I didn’t really think.” huffpost.com/entry/daniel-r…
As HuffPost reported yesterday, Danny Rodriguez has now been indicted alongside his former buddy / romantic rival Ed Badalian (aka “Trump Ed”) as well as the Capitol rioter known as #SwedishScarf.
Q. You thought you were that three percent guy.

A. (Crying.)
Was able to view parts of Danny Rodriguez’s confession tape earlier this month during the court hearing, and it does show that Rodriguez took time to read the Miranda form before he signed it. He’s definitely looking at it closely.
Here’s my thread of the key moments in Danny Rodriguez’s FBI interrogation. It wraps up with him being handcuffed while talking about Q and saying he’ll take his case to trial.

A key moment in determining whether Danny Rodriguez’s confession to electroshocking Mike Fanone is admissible.

Right before the FBI agent brought up HuffPost, Antifa, and BLM, his lawyers argued he "unambiguously and unequivocally invoked his right to remain silent."
In a filing last night, Danny Rodriguez’s federal public defenders argued that with "a simple ‘no,' Mr. Rodriguez specifically and clearly informed the agents he '[did not] want to' answer questions related to the alleged assault on Officer Fanone.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
But watch for yourself. Danny Rodriguez shakes his head no, but then the FBI special agent chimes in.

“I’ll tell you what, everybody else is going to talk about that,” he says.

Danny Rodriguez quickly admits he’s “very ashamed.”

NEW: Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Capitol rioter Russell James Peterson to 30 days behind bars, doubling DOJ’s requested sentence.

“Nothing about Jan. 6 was funny,” she said, referencing Peterson’s comment that he “had fun lol” at the Capitol riot. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Judge Jackson said that Peterson’s own remarks made it “extraordinarily difficult” to impose only probation.

“The ‘lol’ particularly stuck in my crawl, because as I have hope you’ve come to understand, nothing about Jan. 6 was funny,” she said.

"No one locked in a room cowering under a table for hours was laughing.” huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…

Russell James Peterson's sentencing is now underway. The feds want two weeks behind bars for the mid-30s man who wore a "(F**k) Your Feelings" sweatshirt on his trip to D.C. with his mother.
Peterson live-streamed on Facebook, where his mom also bragged about his behavior.
Peterson’s federal public defender Danielle Jahn says that politicians like Trump “fueled the fire” on Jan. 6 and it was important to place Peterson’s actions in that context.

“You you think that's why we’re, you're here today? Just because you climbed the scaffolding?”

The moment when the FBI first starts pressing Trump enthusiast Danny Rodriguez on the fact that he electroshocked Officer Mike Fanone on Jan. 6:
"I'm so stupid. I thought I was going to be awesome. I thought I was a good guy."
“You know how many times I had to argue with people about backing the blue… and I tazed one.”

“What do you want me to tell you? That I
tased him? Yes. Am I a fucking piece of shit? Yes.”

Here’s Trump fanatic Danny Rodriguez confessing to electroshocking D.C. Officer Mike Fanone on Jan. 6.

(Will add key moments of the FBI interview here as the videos process.)
Danny Rodriguez was arrested by the FBI in March, one month after he was named in a HuffPost story as the rioter who electroshocked Officer Mike Fanone. Now he's trying to get his confession suppressed. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-r…
Danny Rodriguez: "Trump called us. Trump called us to D.C... he's the commander in chief and the leader of our country, and he's calling for help -- I thought he was calling for help."

New Capitol attack defendant Timothy Desjardins, the feds say, assaulted a cop with a broken wooden table leg.

He then went to FBI HQ at 2:17 a.m. on Jan. 7 and later abandoned a backpack containing three axes downtown.

He was known to #SeditionHunters as #flatcapattacker
Shoutout to this FBI special agent for providing direct links to primary sources right under the images. Uploaded here: documentcloud.org/documents/2111…
When a FBI police officer stopped him because he tried to go over security chains at 2:17 a.m., "DESJARDINS had one or two hatchets with paracord wrapped handles on the side of his dark colored backpack and DESJARDINS mentioned that he was good with them."
