NEW: An anti-abortion activist indicted for blockading a D.C. clinic in 2020 wants to serve as an interpreter for a relief mission on the Moldova-Ukraine border. Yesterday, a judge shot down that plan. wusa9.com/article/news/c…
Heather Idoni, one of 9 defendants indicted earlier this month for forcibly blockading the Washington Surgi-Clinic, says she and her husband have 10 adopted children from Ukraine. She speaks Russian. She's planning on one more plea to the judge. wusa9.com/article/news/c…
Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, presiding over the case, said Heather Idoni's "commitment to volunteerism is admirable." But she wants her inside the U.S. ahead of a status hearing on the federal indictment charging her w/ felony conspiracy against rights. wusa9.com/article/news/c…
Travel outside the U.S. isn't an automatic "no" for those under federal indictment. #CapitolRiot defendant Jenny Cudd, rather infamously, was allowed to go on a work bonding trip in Mexico while facing a felony charge (she later pleaded to a misdemeanor). wusa9.com/article/news/n…

NEW: Daniel Egtvedt handwrote two letters to a Maryland sheriff asking him to intervene in his #CapitolRiot case. He also, allegedly, threatened to fight police if they transferred him to D.C. He wants a judge to suppress all of that at trial. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Daniel Egtvedt was originally arrested while trying to physically prevent his mother from being vaccinated. He claimed the vaccine was a population control measure.

During, and after, his arrest, he also used language associated w/ sovereign citizens. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Daniel Egtvedt reportedly brought up "maritime law" and seemed to suggest the federal government was a "foreign" power — both major sovereign citizen signifiers.

His attorney, though, says she doesn't know of any links he has to sovereign citizens. wusa9.com/article/news/n…

Morning all. We're back at the federal courthouse in D.C. today, where jurors will resume deliberations in the trial of Thomas Robertson. Here's where they left off. google.com/amp/s/www.wusa…
All parties have been called back to the courtroom for... a jury question about the definition of "obstruction." That's Count 1 in the indictment. Question received at 5:11 p.m.

They are not coming back with a verdict tonight.
JK!!!! They have a verdict!

ELSEWHERE in #CapitolRiot land, Charles Donohoe, a North Carolina Proud Boys leader charged in the PB conspiracy case, is pleading guilty to at least one felony count before Judge Timothy Kelly. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Donohoe is pleading guilty to CONSPIRACY and ASSAULTING POLICE on Jan. 6, both felonies. His plea agreement will include cooperation in the ongoing case against other Proud Boys, including former national chairman Enrique Tarrio.
Judge Kelly says Charles Donohoe will have an estimated offense level of 27 with no criminal history, which would put his recommended sentencing range at 70-87 months in prison. Even at the lowest end, that would be the longest sentence handed down in a #CapitolRiot case to date.

Good morning from the E. Barrett Prettman Courthouse in D.C., where closing arguments are beginning shortly in the trial of former Rocky Mount officer Thomas Robertson. Follow along for live coverage. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
AUSA Risa Berkower is handling the closing argument. Starting off with Thomas Robertson's own comments about "the left and CNN" being mad that he and other rioters attacked the government.
Berkower goes straight for Thomas Robertson's defense theory.

"There was no 'retrieval' here. This was a victory lap!" she says.

I don't want to contribute to what appears to be an impending pile-on, but I've done a lot of reporting about child predators — including former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle, who claimed to have a case of "mild pedophilia" — and this grossly misunderstands how and why they do it. Image
For most child predators, the compulsion is not simply to *view* sexually explicit images of children. There is, in fact, compelling evidence that for many offenders, child porn viewing only begins *after* their first physical offense. nytimes.com/2019/09/29/us/….
For offenders who prey on children, viewing child porn can be a means of reliving past predation. It can also be a means of desensitizing the voice in their head telling them its wrong, or of building a "community," such as it is, with other offenders. There's no silver bullet.

Good morning all. The trial of Thomas Robertson resumes today with cross-examination of fellow former officer Jacob Fracker.
Some legal wrangling this morning as: 1.) A juror reports a close COVID-positive contact, and 2.) DOJ wants to enter evidence rebutting what they say are false statements entered by the defense about Thomas Robertson's military service.
Here's a preview of what we'll see today. The DOJ's case-in-chief is getting close to the end, although they now have this request to rebut Robertson's military service representations. They'll have a chance to put on a rebuttal case, likely tomorrow.
