NEW: DOJ says #PinkBeret "was charged because she committed a crime," and not to mess with another case, as a defense lawyer suggested. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

@JordanOnRecord

DOJ cites defense lawyer Kira West's comments to @JordanOnRecord and yours truly. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"Indeed, the defendant has not a scintilla of evidence to support her repeated assertions, untethered from fact, that Ms. Vargas Geller is a member of law enforcement... The government’s charging decisions regarding another defendant are irrelevant..."

“I stopped dead in my tracks,” #PinkBeret's ex told me, recalling the moment his buddy showed him a viral FBI tweet while in line at a JoAnn Fabrics. “I’m like, ‘That’s Jenny.’”

"The Government wishes to alert the Court that, since its order, however, the Government has charged the woman with whom the defendant entered the Capitol, identified as Jennifer Inzunza Vargas Geller, by publicly docketed complaint in this District." = DOJ's ICYMI

Here’s Kira West’s email, “the accuracy of which” I can verify.

The internet has known since Jan. 2021 that Adam Carolla's piece Megan Paradise was no. 9 on the FBI Capitol Violence website, and that she was almost certainly cooperating, but there's been nothing official to pin that on.

Now, thanks to Richard Barnett's legal team, there is:

Megan Paradise was in Nancy Pelosi's office, and told the FBI she called her dad and cousin on FaceTime.

She wrote "You're fired" on a notebook and swiped a baseball that she gave to another defendant who was recently charged, she said.

Megan Paradise told the FBI she "was afraid of flying and would therefore not have come to D.C. if President Trump had not asked his followers to be there."

@alanfeuer

Just to underline this, per this @alanfeuer report, a right-wing FBI special agent being celebrated by the House GOP was so determined to bury Jan. 6 cases that he helped get a case against a suspect who assaulted officers at the Capitol closed. nytimes.com/2023/05/17/us/…

“There’s no good way to say it, so I’ll just be direct: ...there is, at best, a sizable percentage of the employee population that felt sympathetic to the group that stormed the Capitol." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

Judge bans questions on ‘Pink Beret girl’ after yet another Jan. 6 conspiracy theory goes bust: nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

A federal judge repeatedly talked about a woman in a pink beret today, so that was fun: nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

The judge who banned questions about whether #PinkBeret is some sort of super spy is also the finder of fact since this is a bench trial, so his order today amounted to saying, in sum and substance, let’s not waste time on this bullshit. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

"Four decades ago, the Supreme Court wrote that 'the open processes of justice' are especially important after 'a shocking crime occurs.'... There is no doubt that a shocking crime occurred on January 6, 2021."

Press Coalition's latest in the Sam Lazar case. #FacePaintBlowHard

Sam Lazar was pallin' around with Doug Mastriano at a Rudy Giuliani event when he was featured on the FBI's Capitol Violence website, having incited rioters to "TAKE [cops'] GUUUUUNNNNS" on Jan. 6.

He's getting out in September.

What's up with that?

The press coalition points out that DOJ blew the deadline here, and appear to have violated local rules. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

If anyone received an award for cinematography in 2021 they should give it back, because the proper recipient is whoever was remotely operating this Senate floor camera feed on Jan. 6.

From a newly released court exhibit, in the Bruna Cua case:
