Missed this last week: Judge Emmet Sullivan has issued his long-awaited written opinion on the pre-trial detention of Ronald Colton McAbee, aka #ThreePercentSheriff
Sullivan: "he was willing to allow those beliefs to override his sworn duty to uphold the rule of law as a law enforcement officer and even fight against officers with whom one would expect he held a mutual respect or kinship.”
"Mr. McAbee’s actions on January 6, 2021, demonstrate a clear contempt for the rule of law and law enforcement and a willingness to engage in violence.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Any pretrial detainee or prisoner with a gluten intolerance should be appropriately fed, but it’s remarkable to see how willing far-right politicians have been to associate themselves with Capitol rioters caught on camera viciously assaulting cops on Jan. 6.
The next Jan. 6 sentencing on the schedule is for Leonard Pearso Ridge IV.
No sentencing recommendation filed yet, but a defense memo notes he missed out on "prom, Senior Spirit Day, and the senior year picnic” because of the pandemic.
"Just pray for me that I don’t get arrested by the fbi.”
Ridge will be sentencing by Judge James E. Boasberg on Jan. 4.
Defense: "During a time when most teenagers and young adults dream only of being 'influencers’ on social media platforms… His interest in politics is a good thing and but for entering the Capitol on January 6th, should be applauded.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
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.

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…
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.”
