Sullivan asks how long Gieswein has been in isolation. DOJ says since December 31 but Gieswein said they’ve been in isolation since Christmas Eve.
Every positive test results in 14 day isolation , he’s on 2nd 14 day isolation.
Detainees in 22-hour lockdown now.

Unreal. DOJ now says quarantine lockdowns will cause more trial delays. Gieswein jury selection supposed to begin end of February. Sullivan now talking March or April trial.
Gieswein has been incarcerated for a year.
Gieswein atty asks Sullivan to consider motion for bond.

Defense also asking to dismiss case based on Speedy Trial violations. Says she can’t prepare for Feb 24 trial without seeing her client or share discovery.
Also argues poor conditions in jail.
Biden’s DOJ: We still oppose Gieswein’s release.
Political prisoners.

Sullivan asks if defense has been able to speak to Gieswein about report on jail conditions. She says no.
Sullivan “inclined to deny” motion for bond.
Trial moved to March 30, blames pandemic. “These are very trying times.” Notes Gieswein unvaccinated status.

Now moves trial to April 20.
I would laugh but this is so f*cking twisted and outrageous. Literally making up stuff as he goes along.
Sullivan rejects defense request to hear directly from Gieswein.
Gieswein will be in quarantine until January 28 so next hearing will be 2/24.

Gieswein interrupts and says he wants to address the court. Sullivan says no, says he should go in virtual breakout room with his attorney.
While we wait, let’s recap: Sullivan not only refused to release a J6 detainee incarcerated for a year, he pushed his trial back 2 months.

DOJ says it’ll be another week or two before she can file a discovery update.
Defense wants Gieswein to speak to court. Sullivan keeps resisting.
Sullivan says “put it in writing.”
Gieswein tries to speak, Sullivan cuts him off. “Put it in a letter” and I’ll consider it.

“You’re not a lawyer,” Sullivan cuts him off, says he can’t sit here and “let people mouth off.”
Sullivan says he trying to protect Gieswein, lol. “I want to ensure a fair proceeding.”
DOJ filed a superseding indictment Friday on Gieswein. He pleads not guilty.
Kangaroo court.
