"Was it pretty? No. Did it make a statement? Yes."

Per latest unsealed Jan. 6 case, John Cameron (charged with misdemeanors) allegedly posted a series of messages, photos, and videos documenting his participation in the mob s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2117…
This latest Jan. 6 case is a good illustration of a few things:
- You may have noticed a gap between the number of cases Garland said yesterday (725+) and the number we/others have as of today (705). Cases are often kept sealed until there's an arrest, this one's dated 12/10
- The feds continue to bring new cases built off of the deluge of tips that came in after the insurrection. Note the first tip re: Cameron came in Jan. 8, investigator got a positive ID from a "distant relative" on Oct. 13, complaint dated Dec. 10, arrested yesterday
Another misdemeanor Jan. 6 unsealed today, def't is James Brooks of Tennessee.

FBI spoke with Brooks' sister and showed her pics of the person they believed was Brooks at the Capitol. If she "were a betting woman," she said, she'd ID it as her brother
s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2117…
Fwiw, Brooks appears to be the first new criminal case filed in DC in 2022, note the case number is 22-mj-1 ("mj" = magistrate judge case, which is typically how criminal cases are initially filed before a defendant is formally charged by information/indictment and becomes "cr")

By my count, 80 Jan. 6 defendants are in custody pending trial:
- 51 charged w/ assaulting police
- 14 charged w/ conspiracy, weapons offense, other felony
- 5 pending detention hearing
- 5 bond revoked for violation*
- 1 flight risk concern
- 4 in custody on separate charges
*One of the bond revocations was for a defendant also charged with the count for assaulting/interfering with police, not included in the 51
I'm not linking to the bad tweet about pretrial detention in the Jan. 6 cases, but here are data points for anyone who would like information about this

Belated hello from Judge James Boasberg's virtual courtroom, where the first Jan. 6 sentencing of the year is underway for Leonard Ridge IV, who captured his experience on Snapchat and pleaded to a misdemeanor for illegally entering. Govt wants 45 days, Ridge wants probation
Here's @ryanjreilly on how the hearing has been going so far
@ryanjreilly Boasberg gearing up to announce the sentence, says he finds it concerning that before Jan. 6, Ridge texted a friend, "I think we are going to try to block the session of [C]ongress" — that it speaks to his intent going in

Hello from Judge Tanya Chutkan's virtual courtroom, where sentencing is about to start for Robert Palmer — pleaded guilty to using a fire extinguisher + wooden plank to assault cops on Jan. 6.

Govt wants 63 mos in prison. Palmer arguing for 18-24 mos, below the guidelines range.
Here's the dial-in for Chutkan's courtroom:

US sentencing memo: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2115…

Palmer sentencing memo: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2115…
When Palmer pleaded guilty in October, his est'd sentencing guidelines range was 46-57 mos. But the govt now agrees with the probation office that it's 63-78 mos because he shouldn't get credit for accepting responsibility given a post-plea fundraising post (since taken down)

Hello from Judge Reggie Walton's virtual courtroom, where sentencing is about to start for Capitol rioter Anthony Mariotto. Govt wants 4 mos jail — it's a misdemeanor plea, but they'll argue he was one of the more serious offenders, given how far he made it in + scope of conduct
Here's the dial-in info for Walton's courtroom:
Toll Free Number: 888-273-3658
Access Code: 1809972

Govt sentencing memo: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2115…

Mariotto sentencing memo — he's seeking probation + fine: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2115…
Mariotto is there in-person. Walton says he didn't realize Mariotto hasn't gotten a covid vaccine, and would have had him appear remotely if he'd known, rather than subject everyone in the courthouse to someone who chooses to be unvaxxed "despite all the people who are dying"
