Now status hearing up for Timothy Hale-Cusanelli. He is charged with no violent crime related to January 6, has been detained since January 15, held behind bars in DC Gulag since February.

DOJ says all discovery in his case has produced all discovery to Hale's legal team.

After promising not to delay his November 2021 trial date, Judge McFadden pushed his trial until late May 2022.

Hale's lawyer, like many defense lawyers, once again telling court his client has trouble viewing the evidence against him.

McFadden, after forgetting Hale is...

in the DC jail, where McFadden has ordered him detained under pre-trial detention orders for the past several months, claims there's a solid arrangement at the jail to view discovery evidence.

Hale now disputing it...difficulty accessing laptops to look at video evidence.

Crisp tells McFadden the jail is telling him to bring his own laptop to let Hale look at video evidence.

This is an ongoing issues, 6A violation, the DC District Court refuses to solve. McFadden claims "extensive" efforts to ensure J6 detainees can help build their own defense.

Pre-trial motion hearing set for April 29. By that time, Tim Hale, accused of no violent crime, will have been incarcerated for more than 15 months.

McFadden is a former DC USA prosecutor, same office handling every J6 case.

Hale's charges:

Once again, for about the 15th time, McFadden excludes time from Speedy Trial act from now until mid- January because of "substantial discovery" burden.

This has been DOJ/court approach for almost a year.
