He got 90 days. Maybe don't get caught up in a mob and don't get yourself on camera shoving a police officer. If Reeder really wasn't a Trump supporter, why was he insurrectioning?

Oh, that guy. He was deep into sentencing (I think 1 week before the hearing when the parties have to make their recommendations to the judge), when the online researchers noticed that he wasn't being charged with his cop-shoving and that the online researches noticed it and shouted out to the DOJ. The DOJ threatened to move to void his plea (to the standard "parading" misdemeanor) and indict him for assault. Eventually, he was allowed to keep his plea and got a fairly stiff (3 month) sentence for a charge with a 6 month maximum.

House January 6 committee has decided to make criminal referrals, chairman says​

January 6 committee expected to announce referral of multiple criminal charges against Trump to DOJ​

The committee will hold its final public meeting on Monday and the panel’s full report will be released Wednesday, according to Thompson. The Mississippi Democrat said the panel will approve its final report Monday and make announcements about criminal referrals to the Justice Department, but the public will not see the final report until two days later.

CNN previously reported that the panel has also weighed criminal referrals for a number of Trump’s closest allies including Eastman, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark and Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, according to multiple sources.

[Two important points. DOJ is already investigating many of these matters, and DOJ isn't obliged to do anything with these referrals. But I am looking forward to the report!]

A Maryland man was found guilty of breaching the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.

Court records said 59-year-old Daniel Egtvedt, from Oakland, Maryland, spent 27 minutes inside the Capitol when he was forcibly removed by police.

Once inside, Egtvedt walked through the building, loudly accusing various police officers of being "traitors," according to court documents. He also told another rioter, who was recording and live-streaming him, that other people should come down to the Capitol to disrupt the congressional proceedings.

Egtvedt reportedly fought repeatedly with officers in the halls of the Capitol while screaming at the top of his lungs and shouting "shoot me" at police.

Instead, he got 4 felony convictions and 4 misdemeanor convictions.

Trump’s former White House ethics lawyer told Cassidy Hutchinson to give misleading testimony to January 6 committee, sources say​

Stefan Passantino, the top ethics attorney in the Trump White House, is the lawyer who allegedly advised his then-client, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, to tell the committee that she did not recall details that she did, sources familiar with the committee’s work tell CNN.

Trump’s Save America political action committee funded Passantino and his law firm Elections LLC, including paying for his representation of Hutchinson, other sources tell CNN. The committee report notes the lawyer did not tell his client who was paying for the legal services.

According to the report, “the lawyer had advised the witness that the witness could, in certain circumstances, tell the Committee that she did not recall facts when she actually did recall them.”

“When the witness raised concerns with her lawyer about that approach,” according to the summary, the lawyer said, “They don’t know what you know, [witness]. They don’t know that you can recall some of these things. So you saying ‘I don’t recall’ is an entirely acceptable response to this.”

“The lawyer instructed the client about a particular issue that would cast a bad light on President Trump: ‘No, no, no, no, no. We don’t want to go there. We don’t want to talk about that,’” the report said.

This year, Trump’s Save America PAC has made payments to several law firms representing witnesses in the January 6 and Mar-a-Lago investigation. An issue only arises if the lawyer doesn’t follow the client’s wishes, legal experts and professional rules say.

--

The report also said the committee believed a White House staffer Anthony Ornato “gave testimony consistent with the false account” in a book written by Mark Meadows, downplaying Trump’s wish to go to the Capitol on January 6.

[As the Stop the Steal rallies were taking place, and Stone was not on stage]

“I just caused a little problem for them with Julie Fancelli,” Stone said. “I just told her, ‘You spent 300 grand and neither [Alex] Jones nor I are speaking.’ ” [This relates to the backstage drama in post 18 - Fancelli was the main financial backer behind Wren.]

Publix heiress was willing to spend $3 million on Jan. 6 rally, documents show​

Groups controlled by Charlie Kirk received $1.25 million for buses to take people to Washington and for rally promotion​

Groups under the direction of pro-Trump activist Charlie Kirk received $1.25 million. Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and far-right media personality, scored $200,000. Roger Stone, the Trump adviser and self-proclaimed “dirty trickster,” received funds to fly privately to Washington.

This money — aimed at financing protest activity on Jan. 6, 2021, that preceded the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol — came from Julie Fancelli, a daughter of the founder of the Publix grocery store chain.

In all, Fancelli, 73, was willing to shell out as much as $3 million to people and groups protesting congressional certification of Joe Biden’s victory, according to a transcript of her interview before the House panel probing the siege on the Capitol.

The transcript was among 34 released Wednesday by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Transcripts of interviews with Kirk, Jones and Stone — all of whom invoked their Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination — also were released.

Trump’s former White House ethics lawyer told Cassidy Hutchinson to give misleading testimony to January 6 committee, sources say​

Stefan Passantino, the top ethics attorney in the Trump White House, is the lawyer who allegedly advised his then-client, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, to tell the committee that she did not recall details that she did, sources familiar with the committee’s work tell CNN.

Cassidy Hutchinson told the January 6 committee she felt pressure from Trump allies not to talk​

The final straw for former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson with her first attorney, paid through allies of former President Donald Trump, came when he told her to stop cooperating with the January 6 select House committee even if risked a contempt of Congress charge, transcripts of her interviews and sources familiar with her testimony tell CNN.

Hutchinson, a former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, told the committee that Passantino repeatedly urged her to downplay her role in the White House and to say she did not recall events. She said that Passantino and other Trump associates dangled job offers around the time of her first two depositions with the committee, while her lawyer and others told her to remain loyal to Trump and she would be “taken care of.”

Hutchinson said that her “breaking point” with Passantino came in June when he advised her not to speak to the committee any more, saying that risking “contempt is a small risk, but running to the right is better for you.”

[Passantino never told her to perjure herself] But during a pre-interview meeting, her lawyer also repeatedly told her she could say she did not recall events. “The less you remember, the better,” Passantino told her, according to Hutchinson’s testimony.

“It wasn’t just that I had Stefan sitting next to me; it was almost like I felt like I had Trump looking over my shoulder,” Hutchinson testified about her initial depositions before the committee. “Because I knew in some fashion it would get back to him if I said anything that he would find disloyal. And the prospect of that genuinely scared me. You know, I’d seen this world ruin people’s lives or try to ruin people’s careers. I’d seen how vicious they can be.”

Ah, give her a break, her marriage was falling apart. People say all sorts of stuff in stressful situations.

In other news, she's single now.

The full Jan 6 Committee report is finally here.

The long-anticipated, 845-page report of eight chapters from the House select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection provides a road map for potential criminal charges against Trump and others.

“As you read this report, please consider this: Vice President Pence, along with many of the appointed officials who surrounded Donald Trump, worked to defeat many of the worst parts of Trump’s plan to overturn the election,” committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) wrote in the foreword to the report. “This was not a certainty. It is comforting to assume that the institutions of our Republic will always withstand those who try to defeat our Constitution from within. But our institutions are only strong when those who hold office are faithful to our Constitution.”

The committee estimates that Trump and his team reached out to state legislators or election officials at least 200 separate times in both public and private. Trump held a meeting with “nearly 300 state legislators from battleground states” in which he “urged them to exercise what he called ‘the real power’ to choose electoral votes before Jan. 6,” the committee found. [Haha, not those phony baloney voters.]

In Arizona, Trump and his lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani tried to pressure Arizona state House Speaker Russell Bowers into holding a public hearing with the goal of replacing the state’s electors with loyalists who would cast votes for Trump.

“You are asking me to do something against my oath, and I will not break my oath,” Bowers said.

Giuliani replied: “Aren’t we all Republicans here? I mean, I would think you would listen a little more open to my suggestions.”

“Over the course of the post-election period, as their other plans each failed, the importance of January 6th and the need to pressure Vice President Pence increased,” the report reads.

The report, which is expected to mark the final act of the bipartisan committee, includes a list of 11 recommendations, including changes to Capitol Police oversight; new protections for election workers; and officially declaring the riot an insurrection so those who participated will be barred from holding office under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

In a 30-page appendix, the report touches on the failures of intelligence and law enforcement agencies, which generally missed or ignored signs that extremist groups had taken a Dec. 19 tweet from Trump inviting them to Washington on Jan. 6 as a call to organize and prepare for violence.
