The next #CapitolRiot plea hearing is scheduled for noon, when Willard Peart, of Utah, will appear before Judge Friedman. He was one of a number of rioters who entered the Capitol wrapped in a Trump flag. 
There's some back and forth about whether Willard Peart could have been charged with a felony. DOJ agrees the initial affidavit could possibly have led to that. Peart was ultimately only charged with misdemeanors.
Peart says he's grateful he's able to enter his plea virtually from Utah instead of flying to D.C. "Utah's a nice place," Judge Friedman says. "Come visit anytime you want," Peart tells him.
Peart says he wants to make it clear in his plea that his argument with Capitol officers was a "mild disagreement" about his desire to remain in the building.
"A person who has committed their third drug dealing is different than a person who has done it once," says Judge Friedman, using the common parlance to describe selling drugs.
Everyone in this hearing is getting along very well. Peart thanks Judge Friedman "for your role in this" and Judge Friedman accepts his guilty plea to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
