Judge said Jeffrey Register was “very lucky” he didn’t get a felony charge of obstruction.

“Getting the plea you did reflects some good lawyering,” said the Trump-appointed judge: nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

Jeffrey Register was wearing a "God, Guns & Trump" sweatshirt and a “2020 Keep America Great" skullcap when he stormed the Capitol. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

No comment from Jeffrey Register, who went with a suit for his sentencing hearing.

“Maybe when this is all said and done, government will provide me with a bumper sticker to give u that says: Proud parent of a Capitol insurrectionist," Register wrote to his dad. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

“His wife is still angry with him about his decision to do this,” said Cara Halverson, Jeffrey Register's federal public defender, who was complimented by the judge. “He has to live with the memory of the sound of the gunshot that killed Ashli Babbitt.” nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

An unvaccinated Jeffrey Register told the court his actions were “spontaneous” and “without thought" and apologized, saying he had “no excuse" for what he did on Jan. 6.

“I truly am sorry," Register claimed.

Some news on the #SwedishScarf front: Judge Amy Berman Jackson has given DOJ until Monday to file on "the status of the third co-defendant" in the indictment that named Danny Rodriguez and Ed Badalian.

"The report should address whether, given the circumstances and the amount of time that has gone by, there is any reason that the co-defendants cannot be provided with the name of the third individual who has yet to be apprehended under appropriate conditions..."

@January6thCmte

Annie Howell's lawyer, Heather Shaner, is asking for probation.

Howell, her lawyer writes, began "her journey to awareness shortly after the insurrection on January 6th," and met with the @January6thCmte.

"I can honestly say that January 6th was the saddest day in the history of our country," Howell wrote. "After re-educating myself and abiding by the terms of my pre-trial and advice of my attorney, I have learned so much and have grown to regret my actions that day even more so."

Howell's lawyer is the Jan. 6 attorney who has been giving her defendants reading assignments: huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…

The feds want 60 days imprisonment for Annie Howell, who climbed through a broken window to enter "a ransacked room replete with overturned furniture” near the "tunnel of death” on Jan. 6.

"Howell then posted propaganda on social media, and accused the media of creating a false narrative, law enforcement of attacking innocent women and children, and ANTIFA of being responsible for the riot.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"These claims were flatly untrue, as Howell well knows. It was not until Howell sought a plea agreement that she finally accepted responsibility and expressed remorse for her conduct.”

Jan. 6 defendant Traci Sunstrum will be sentenced at 11 a.m.

Last night, "Traci" joined a prayer call with Jan. 6 supporters. Traci explained that D.C. is "built on an upside down pentagram" with "a phallic symbol in the middle” so she’s glad she could do her hearing via Zoom.

“We have broken and breached the Capitol."

The feds are asking for 14 days of incarceration. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"We stormed peacefully.”
