THREAD: On Monday night, Micki Witthoeft, mother of Ashli Babbitt, led a protest for Jan 6 defendants outside the DC jail, where several are still being detained pre-trial.

"It's a scary day to be a patriot," she says. "These men are being denied their constitutional rights."

I asked Ashli Babbitt's mother to respond to an apparently leaked, "sensitive" document which lists her daughter as a "martyr" to "militia violent extremists."

"It's heartbreaking" she says, but also condemns the doc's inclusion of symbols like the Bettsy Ross and Gadsden flags.

Every night at 9pm, January 6 defendants at the DC jail apparently sing the National Anthem.

The protesters outside the jail sang at the same time with them, and the inmates flickered lights on and off to be visible.

While it is really, really hard to see, my camera actually captured one of the inmates putting an American flag up to the slit of a window at the DC jail as the protesters outside sang the National Anthem.

David "Santa" Riddell, the leader of the "1776 Restoration Movement" also spoke outside the DC jail for January 6 detainees.

He compared the struggle to free them to the rescue of Michael Durant following the Black Hawk Down incident at the Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia.

Of course, the breaking news developing as the event took place was that former President Trump's home at #MarALago.

I asked the group for initial impressions.

For reference, below is the FBI "sensitive" document I had asked Ashli Babbitt's mother about, which lists Babbitt as a "martyr" to "militia violent extremists."

As she pointed out, the Betsy Ross and Gadsden Flags are also included.
