Happening now: Mark Mazza tells Judge James E. Boasberg he got "caught up in a mob mentality that I never anticipated" and he's "not quite the monster that the prosecution has described me as."

He brought two loaded weapons to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. ImageImage
“All I hear about in D.C. from Indiana is that it’s the murder capital of the United States,” Mazza says, claiming he only intended to use the guns for self-protection.
“I’m treating this kind of like another military step, like it’s something I’ve got to do," Mazza says of his incarceration time.

“I wish I could erase it. I wish I could go back and take that hour back." Maybe go to a museum and grab some dinner, he says.

New: Federal prosecutor tells Chief Judge Beryl Howell that DOJ is still “very early on” in the Jan. 6 probe and that it’s “not an unreasonable expectation” that they’ll clear 2,000 cases. That number is “well within reason” if they “get bodies” to bring cases through recruiting.
The total universe of potential defendants is around 3,000. The FBI already has the names of hundreds of additional rioters who have not yet been arrested.
