Good morning. At 10 AM we have a status hearing for "zip tie guy" Eric Munchel and his mother, Lisa Eisenhart. We haven't heard much about them since March, when their cases helped define the terms for pretrial release for other #CapitolRiot defendants. google.com/amp/s/www.wusa…
The hearing has started but there's an awful whistling sound coming from an unmuted line.
DOJ and defense say they are working on a compromise to release conditions that would allow Lisa Eisenhart to work.
Pretty short hearing. They'll be back in March for the next one.

Detention hearing ongoing now for Justin Jersey, aka #fingerman, who is now indicted in one of the most violent assaults on police attempting to defend the Capitol. Here's the DOJ's pretrial detention memo, filed Sunday: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… #CapitoRiot @wusa9 @EricFlackTV ImageImageImageImage
You can see the man the DOJ has identified as Justin Jersey in this BWC video while he and other defendants, including Jeffrey Sabol and Jack Wade Whitton, repeatedly attack police. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
The ever-on-it @ryanjreilly wrote about how the FBI identified Justin Jersey via a rather conspicuous tattoo here: huffpost.com/entry/fingerma…

At 1 p.m. Brandon and Stephanie Miller will be back in court for sentencing before Judge Tanya S. Chutkan. #CapitolRiot @wusa9 @EricFlackTV
The DOJ is asking for three months of home detention for Brandon Miller and two months for Stephanie, along with 36 months of probation for each. DOJ is asking for the extra month for Brandon due to his live streams during and after downplaying the #CapitolRiot. Image
Stephanie Miller kept her #CapitolRiot messages in the DMs, writing that, "We're hoping we don't get charges, but we'll proudly take them if so." She also wrote that she and her husband "enjoyed every part of what we did and was a part of." Image

I'll be attempting to juggle this and the Cleveland Meredith Jr. sentencing, so, we'll see how that goes. I'll tweet a link for you to watch once the stream starts. #CapitolRiot
If you're interested in @AGKarlRacine's January 6-related announcement starting shortly, you can watch live here (I will do my best to live-tweet it as well but I'm also monitoring the Cleveland Meredith sentencing): wusa9.com/video/news/liv…
Per my colleague @BruceLeshan, the D.C. AG's Office is filing a civil lawsuit accusing the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and others of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act on January 6. Similar to a suit brought by 7 Capitol Police officers earlier this year.

A federal judge ordered this video of Daniel Rodriguez appearing to confess to FBI agents today. The release comes a day after the DOJ indicted him on a new conspiracy charge for allegedly planning violence over a Telegram chat called "PATRIOTS 45:" wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Should say ordered it *released* today. The interview happened earlier this year.
While we're working on getting the videos of Daniel Rodriguez confessing converted/uploaded, I have updated my story with more info from them here.

In them, Rodriguez describes himself almost as a soldier called to "battle" by Trump.

In case you were wondering why Dr. Mehmet Oz – a Harvard-educated Columbia professor and multi-, multi-millionaire TV host – was running for the U.S. Senate, it's to take America back from the "elites with yards."
Here's *one* of Dr. Oz's houses, by the way, in case you were wondering where he stands vis-à-vis having a yard.
Dr. Oz is one of the most prolific snake oil salesmen in the world (the British Medical Journal says >50% of medical recommendations on his show are bunk). He was an early promoter of hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment, which may have influenced Trump's support for it.
