In court right now (virtually): Enrique Tarrio and other accused Proud Boys conspirators. Discussion of trial date. Standby
They’re discussing possible August 8 trial date, per defense lawyer
Logistically .. these large Jan 6 cases are a juggling act. So many different attorneys with schedules. Some defendants in pretrial jail.. who need to view evidence, and argue they can’t readily do so. Like Juggling bowling balls to get a trail date
