Big news for federal prisoners released to home confinement due to COVID: The Office of Legal Counsel has reconsidered its opinion and now believe the CARES Act “grants [the Bureau of Prisons] discretion to permit prisoners in extended home confinement to remain there.”
Key section: the law “allows the agency to use its expertise to recall prisoners only where penologically justified, and avoids a blanket, one-size-fits-all policy.”
Statement from Attorney General Merrick Garland:

Here's "Rally Runner," a St. Louis Cardinals fanatic, at the front of the battle with a stolen police shield. Tucker Carlson viewers now believe this man, who's been running around Busch stadium for years, is some sort of secret undercover operative. huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…
Once again, this is who they think is an undercover law enforcement officer. This guy.
“If I’m wrong, so be it, bro. I don’t care,” said the attorney for several Jan. 6 defendants. “I don’t give a shit about being wrong.” huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…

Three hours of Jan. 6 surveillance video from the tunnel at the top of the inauguration platform was released today, showing brutal attacks on officers that day.

It also shows that the first guy to cross the threshold of the tunnel was wearing shorts, in January.
“Most of the people on the ground are buffoons, so what? There are 15,000 of them.” — Mike Fanone huffpost.com/entry/mike-fan…
It's just a constant onslaught, hour after hour after hour.

We should learn at a hearing at 2 p.m. today whether Danny Rodriguez’s full confession will be admissible at trial. huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
A tearful Rodriguez called himself “so stupid,” “an asshole,” and a “fucking piece of shit” during the FBI interview, and worried that his “mom’s gonna find out” what he did. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-r…
Danny Rodriguez’s hearing will be underway momentarily. Here’s what Mike Fanone told me that his assailant’s confession tape reveals: huffpost.com/entry/mike-fan…

The oldest known Jan. 6 defendant, 81-year-old Gary Wickersham, is about to be sentenced.

“It’s the first defendant I’ve had that’s older than me in quite some time,” says 78-year-old Senior Judge Royce Lamberth.
“We believe a sentence of home detention is appropriate,” says federal prosecutor. Per court filing, they’ll show a video compilation of his activities at the Capitol, which should subsequently be released to the media.
DOJ: "He claimed that he was authorized to enter the Capitol because he pays his taxes. He claimed that the entire event was staged, and that law enforcement purposefully did not have enough resources there…” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Israel Tutrow, who stormed the Capitol with his prominent facial tattoos on full display, is set to be sentenced by Judge Amy Berman Jackson at 10 a.m.

DOJ wants 60 days behind bars.
Amy Berman Jackson: You weren’t here merely to unlawfully assemble, you were here to disrupt the certification of the election… The harm of that day was and continues to be substantial… America’s standing in the world may never recover.
Amy Berman Jackson: You can vote for whoever you want. But you and your friends do not get to stop the count because you don’t like the results of the election.

Sentencing set for 2. p.m. for Capitol defendant Devlyn Thompson.

The government wants Judge Royce C. Lamberth to give Thompson four years in federal prison.

His defense says he has “the coping skills of a four-year old” and his mom said he’s been “easily tricked by others."
“I was thirsty for news that wasn’t being censored. I listened to Tim Pool, Disaffected Liberal, Dave Reuben… Gateway, the Federalist, Zero Hedge, and Gray Zone. I was reading them for balance. They were willing to cover things that were more taboo.”
Defense: “although Mr. Thompson is 28-years old, he functions in many ways as a young child… Mr. Thompson’s understanding of what was transpiring was naive and inaccurate due to his autism.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco….
