A thread, if you'll indulge me.

Tomorrow, a federal judge will hand down what will almost certainly be the strongest U.S. Capitol attack sentence to date.

But this story really starts with "Amy" and a team of citizens who came together on this very website after Jan. 6.
Last January, when Amy was at home isolating with COVID, she sickened by the brutal attack she saw unfolding at the U.S. Capitol.

The feds said they needed help. So Amy joined the hunt.

As she watched footage of the awful assault on officers in the tunnel at the top of the inauguration platform, one suspect really jumped out at her.

It was a man in an American flag sweatshirt emblazoned with Trump's name.

Jan. 6 defendant Andrew Hatley tells the court that going into the Capitol building wasn’t right, and suggests he regrets coming to D.C. at all. Said he got acclimated to the crowd as he got closer to the building. Sentencing forthcoming. ImageImage
Judge Thomas Hogan notes Hatley went through a broken window, and knew it was a chaotic scene, but also notes he didn’t steal anything or fight police.

Hogan indicates he thinks Hatley’s remorse is sincere, notes Hatley’s lack of criminal history and his work ethic.
Judge Hogan says he thinks that being arrested and that the “social embarrassment” of being charged has a deterrent effect.

BREAKING: Judge Tanya Chutkan sentences Brandon Miller to 20 days behind bars. Stephanie Miller gets 14 days incarceration.

DOJ had asked for home confinement.

“They climbed through a broken window,” Chutkan emphasizes. “I’m not sure there’s any remorse." Image
“There have to be consequences for participating in an attempted violent overthrow of the government beyond sitting at home,” Judge Tanya Chutkan previously said. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Judge Chutkan said Brandon Miller came to D.C. to "help a political faction,” not to "help the country.”

The FBI has arrested Jan. 6 defendant Avery MacCracken, and the feds are once again crediting @SeditionHunters. #CoveredDragon

Court records don’t yet reflect DOJ’s position on the question of whether the court should, until trial, release MacCracken. ImageImage
"MacCracken punched Officer J.G. with his closed fist in the right cheek, causing a cut to the face under his right eye. Officer J.G. took a selfie-pic of his injuries and provided self-aid; he did not seek other medical care.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
The arrest warrant indicates that the defendant was arrested Saturday, which suggests that a local federal magistrate judge may have already released MacCracken.

"The lie that the election was stolen and illegitimate is still being perpetrated… Worse, it’s become heresy for a member of the [former] president’s party to say otherwise.”

Judge Amy Berman Jackson at a sentencing today: huffpost.com/entry/qanon-tr…
“Canceling out the votes of others at the point of a gun is the utter anthesis of what America stands for. It is the definition of tyranny and of authoritarianism.” huffpost.com/entry/qanon-tr…
In an exercise of her discretion, Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced the QAnon believer to 28 months in prison, and recommend he serve somewhere where he could get “intensive” mental health treatment. huffpost.com/entry/qanon-tr…

Sentencing hearing underway for Trump fan Cleveland Meredith, who threatened Nancy Pelosi but arrived in D.C. after the Capitol attack due to car trouble.

Some of the hearing may be under seal (to discuss specific mental health issues). Judge Amy Berman Jackson presiding.
“I think Trump wants you to go home peacefully!!”

“Bullshit, he wants HEADS and I’m gonna deliver.”
DOJ says Meredith set out to attend Trump’s rally on Jan. 4, but had car issues on his way to DC. He arrived late in the afternoon on Jan. 6.

DOJ attorney quotes Meredith text: "someone has to take the TRASH out, FK THESE MTHRFKRS.”
