IN OTHER JAN. 6 CRIMINAL PROBE NEWS:

Verdicts are coming this afternoon for three men charged in connection with the the brutal fight in the tunnel at the Capitol.

The outcome of this bench trial before a Trump-appointed judge could have big impact.

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Verdicts in the bench trial of #ThePinman, #ShaggyProfessor and #TunnelCommander are coming at 3PM. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
#TunnelCommander claimed during his testimony that, when he said "If we can't fight over this wall, we can't win this battle!" as he encouraged rioters over a retention wall, he was talking about an ideological battle. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"battle of ideas" nbcnews.com/politics/justi… Image
Some backstory on the FBI’s confirmation efforts here:
#TunnelCommander now has a few regrets about this moment:
Happening now. @GaryGrumbach is at the courthouse and will have the verdicts.
Can report that both Patrick McCaughey and Tristan Stevens have been convicted of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers. Stevens has also been convicted on counts 16 and 33. ImageImageImage
Patrick McCaughey III was taken into custody after his conviction on all counts today, per @GaryGrumbach. (tho no dangerous weapon).

Mehaffie guilty on assault/resist/impede, civil disorder, disorderly conduct, but NOT guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding.
@GaryGrumbach Tristian Chandler Stevens was also convicted on everything (although no dangerous weapon enhancement) except for obstruction of an official proceeding. Judge found him not guilty there.

Robert Packer wore a “CAMP AUSCHWITZ STAFF” sweatshirt on Jan. 6.

He told the FBI he wore it "because I was cold,” and his sister told a judge you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

So let’s rip off the proverbial cover jacket, shall we?

Ah, there’s a SS shirt underneath. ImageImage
Robert Packer was wearing a Schutzstaffel shirt when he was closer to Trump’s speech, but layered up when he got to the Capitol.

Believe this is a new discovery today. Sentencing is set for tomorrow. ImageImage
A Schutzstaffel shirt, next to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Add it to the list.

In other Jan. 6 news, Trump fanatic Jack Wade Whitton took a plea:

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Jack Wade Whitton, a 32-year-old from Georgia, bragged in a message obtained by the government that he "fed" a cop "to the people." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Whitton was an early target of the "Sedition Hunters" community that came together online to identify Capitol rioters after Jan. 6. Prosecutors referenced the role that "unknown Twitter users" played in tracking his movements using the hashtag #Scallops. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

The man on the left was present at the tunnel on Jan. 6 and was harassing witnesses both inside and outside the courtroom during a recent trial.
“Take their helmets! Take their helmets! Take their helmets." -- that man on Jan. 6. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
“For Sgt. Gonell to be accosted like that, within the courthouse and while he remains a live witness at trial, was outrageous and amounts to witness intimidation that promptly should be addressed..." - @DavidLaufmanLaw nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

“stop the steel” [SIC] supporter Kyle Young — who took his son with him as he assaulted an officer on Jan. 6 — tells a judge that he "broke down crying" when he got home. He admitted that he grabbed Mike Fanone before another rioter drove a stun gun into his neck. ImageImage
DOJ sentencing memo mentions that Kyle Young handed a stun gun to Danny Rodriguez, who drove a stun gun into Mike Fanone's neck.

Correcting prior deleted tweet (sentencing memo was filed in a weird way).

Here's the discovery by @1600PennPooch, who saw the handoff thanks to surveillance footage.

A lawyer for Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes is declaring his Jan. 6 case "the most massively complicated case in American history," and I feel like some folks who have worked Sept. 11 cases in Guantanamo might have some thoughts.
You can easily declare the Jan. 6 investigation the largest in American history just because of the sheer number of defendants and the extent of the digital evidence, but the 9/11 cases are pretty "massively complicated," what with the torture and untested commissions and all.
"This trial scheduled to start on September 26 will be like a little league team facing the New York Yankees," says the latest member of Rhodes team, who doesn't get along with his now co-counsel.

NBC News: About 40 subpoenas have been issued in connection with the criminal investigation into Jan. 6 and Trumps’s efforts to overturn the election results, people familiar with the matter confirm.
Steve Bannon said it was about 35 last week (although he falsely categorized subpoenas as “raids”), and that appears to have been a bit of a lowball.
Exact number is squishy, but it’s in the ballpark of 40.
