Another day in the first Jan. 6 trial against Capitol attack defendant Guy Reffitt.

Yesterday, we heard from his son, Jackson Reffitt, about the “surreal” experience of tipping off the FBI about his dad.

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Dad: "Hold my beer and I'll show you."

Son: "I thought I was going to see something in August."

Dad: “Your first mistake was you thought.”

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Son who turned his dad into the FBI: “Yeah you know they are tracking down everyone who was there right?”

Dad who recorded himself talking about committing crimes: “Yeppers."

Matthew Beddingfield didn’t leave the Capitol until 3:07 p.m.

So unless he had a teleportation device, he violated the terms of his pretrial release on a first-degree attempted murder charge (and broke several federal laws!) when he violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Here’s racist troll Matthew Beddingfield leaving the Capitol in a red “__UM_” shirt at 3:07 p.m., after battling it out with police while he was out on bond on a first-degree attempted murder charge after he shot a Hispanic teen in a Walmart parking lot. nbcnews.com/politics/justi… Image
Beddingfield’s home is 250+ miles from DC, so unless he found his dad, got to their car instantly, hit no traffic, and did 110 mph all the way down I-95, he missed curfew. The trip should take four hours.

"Under the Constitution, he is presented before this court as an innocent young man with a presumption of release..."

A federal public defender for a racist troll who stormed the U.S. Capitol while he was out on bail on an attempted murder charge is arguing for his release. Image
"Beddingfield appears to harbor deep resentment towards the Black, Hispanic, Native American, and LGBTQ+ communities while glorifying white supremacist figures, beliefs, language, and ideologies," DOJ alleged in a detention memo. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Matthew Beddingfield's federal public defender writes that the government dedicates too much ink to "Matthew's protected speech and equally protected literature." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image

In dramatic testimony at Guy Reffitt’s Jan. 6 trial, his son Jackson Reffitt testifies that he sent a tip to the FBI while alone in his bedroom on Christmas Eve 2020.

He never heard from the FBI until after the Jan. 6 attack.
The government has displayed a number of text messages from the family text chain.

Jackson Reffitt’s messages are in blue.

Guy Reffitt’s messages are in green.

Jackson Reffitt says he sarcastically called his dad “a hero” on the family text chain. When he read the “a hero” quote in court just now, he raised his eyebrows in the way you’d expect.

Testimony in Guy Reffitt’s trial has resumed.

Jurors are now hearing additional testimony from Inspector Monique Moore, who was in charge of the U.S. Capitol Police command center on Jan. 6.
Government shows footage of members of the mob rushing past the magnetometer.

“Was it being used properly this day?”

“No,” Moore says.
Moore described how U.S. Capitol Police used code words to assure staffers about their identity when they were extracting staffers who were in hiding during the attack.
