DOJ said on Friday that Andrew Ericson’s belief that violence and destruction on Jan. 6 "was perpetrated by members of Antifa” dressed as Trump supporters shows a "failure to acknowledge the full consequences” of Jan. 6.

“Who is to say” antifa wasn't there, writes his lawyer. ImageImage
"Ericson was not the cause of January 6th riot, nor was he in the classification of protestors that caused physical harm to the Capitol.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
"Mr. Ericson believed what he read on the internet and heard from the President himself - that the election had been stolen.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
"He reported taking a beer from a refrigerator located outside [Pelosi’s] office. He claimed that, shortly after he did so, a SWAT operator came into the room and ordered all occupants to put their hands up. Ericson complied by dropping the beer, which shattered on the ground." ImageImage
"Defendant Ericson took a Corona Light beer out of a mini refrigerator. The video cuts out before showing whether Mr. Ericson started to drink the beer, although he later told someone that is what he did."

DOJ wants 60 days for Andrew Ericson. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image

A sentencing hearing for Jacob Hiles, who was warned by a Capitol Police officer to remove his incriminating Facebook posts, should be underway momentarily. Citing his “exceptional cooperation with the government,” DOJ has said probation would be appropriate.
“Hiles voluntarily answered questions under oath regarding his contact with Riley, as well as his own participation in the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.” Also helped build the case against his cousin. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
