BREAKING: Matthew Ryan Miller — who wore a Confederate flag as well as a Maryland state flag during the Jan. 6 attack — has pleaded guilty to two felony counts. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Now that Miller has pleaded guilty, DOJ wants him held until his sentencing. A prosecutor just asked for a self-surrender date in 7-14 days.
Defense has asked for 14 days for self-surrender. There’s no objection from DOJ. So he’ll self-surrender in two weeks.
Robert Scott Palmer — who also sprayed cops with a fire extinguisher — was also ordered detained after he pleaded guilty. He ended up with the longest sentencing yet in a Jan. 6 case. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Miller must surrender to the U.S. Marshals by 2 p.m. on Feb. 23, judge rules. “He shall not bring any personal belongings with him,” judge says.
Matthew Ryan Miller was known to sleuths as #BabyMachoMan. They surfaced this video of him throwing an unidentified object while wearing a Confederate flag over his Washington Capitals jersey.
"As the mob gathered on the West side of the U.S. Capitol, while draped in a confederate flag, the defendant threw an unidentifiable object towards the Capitol building.” justice.gov/usao-dc/press-… 
"Miller waved his hand, and said multiple times, 'Come on,' as the mob chanted 'Heave! Ho!' and rocked back and forth in pushing towards the tunnel entrance that law enforcement officers were attempting to secure… he put up his fingers and yelled, 'one, two, three, push!’"
