Mark Meadows is suing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Jan. 6 committee, the case is docketed in federal district court in DC but the complaint isn't up yet (HT @woodruffbets)
Here's @kadiagoba earlier today on the Jan. 6 committee's intent to move ahead with contempt proceedings against Meadows, who had been Trump's chief of staff buzzfeednews.com/article/kadiag…
@kadiagoba Here's Mark Meadows' lawsuit challenging the Jan. 6 committee's subpoenas for his testimony/documents and for his cell phone records from Verizon: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2115…

"overly broad and unduly burdensome ... issued in whole or part without legal authority"
@kadiagoba Meadows' suit is a mix of sweeping challenges to the legitimacy of the Jan. 6 committee, more specific challenges to the breadth of the subpoenas, defenses of executive privilege and testimonial immunity, 1st/4th Amend. challenges to the Verizon subpoena

Back to the Markofski/Nelson sentencing: Bates pushes back on the prosecutor arguing that them witnessing the riot and going forward is a factor against them. Bates says if the point of the govt's factors is to try to distinguish each def's conduct, this isn't specific/helpful

NOW: The US Supreme Court revived a constitutional challenge to Texas's 6-week abortion ban, finding abortion providers could go forward with at least part of their case. The law will remain in effect in the meantime, however. More to come: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
SCOTUS revived the court fight over Texas's abortion ban, but today's decision included strong warnings from Sotomayor and Roberts that the court hadn't done enough to head off a law (or future ones like it) clearly aimed at nullifying a protected right buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The critical part of today's ruling was an 8-1 decision that abortion providers could sue certain state licensing officials. But Sotomayor warned that such a narrow path gave states a roadmap to try to "refine" their own future version of an SB 8. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

NOW: The DC Circuit rules against Trump is in his quest to stop the Jan. 6 committee from getting his archived White House records. Judgment just came in, waiting on the full opinion, more to come. Court gives Trump 14 days to petition SCOTUS. Image
"On the record before us, former President Trump has provided no basis for this court to override President Biden’s judgment and the agreement and accommodations worked out between the Political Branches over these documents."

3-0 opinion, by Millett: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2115… ImageImage

Hello from Judge Emmet Sullivan's virtual courtroom, where a plea hearing is underway for Jan. 6 defendant Philip Kramer. Per charging docs, Kramer spoke with the FBI a few times after, admitted going into the Capitol, stealing a "Do Not Enter" sign s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2061… Image
AUSA, reading statement of offense that Kramer is admitting to, says that he came "equipped" with a helmet, a strap with a lock attached to it, and a walking cane — he'd been charged with illegally entering the Capitol with a weapon (they haven't said yet what he's pleading to)
Kramer is pleading guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol, the same class B misdemeanor we've seen in most Jan. 6 plea deals so far. This means the govt is dropping the count with the weapons enhancement, max sentence is 6 mos in jail Image

Hello from Judge Carl Nichols' virtual courtroom, where sentencing is about to begin for Capitol rioter Jennifer Parks. Parks took a misdemeanor plea deal, the govt is asking for 1 month home detention + probation, Parks wants probation alone
Govt sentencing memo: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2115…

Parks sentencing memo: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2112…

Dial-in info for Nichols:
Toll Free Number: 877-873-8017
Access Code: 8692421
AUSA is up first, argues that Jennifer Parks (with her friend Esther Schwemmer, who has also pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing) saw lots of "red flags" but that didn't stop them from going inside the Capitol, incl. consoling an injured person who was exiting

Captions in the newly unsealed charging doc for Jan. 6 defendant Thomas (Paul) Conover of Texas are something:

"Conover spends most of the next ten minutes wandering around the Rotunda taking selfies and posing for pictures with his empty can of beer." s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2115…
A can of beer played a starring role in this defendant's alleged activities on Jan. 6:

"I don't always storm the Capitol of the United States of America. But when I do, I prefer Coors Light"
Another unsealed Jan. 6 case: Tim Boughner of Michigan, charged with using chemical spray against cops. Facebook posts, per docs:

Jan. 5: "I'm on my way to Washington DC. To make sure Biden's doesn't become president."

Jan. 6: "Fucked those cops up."
