Appeals court grants Trump delay in releasing records to Jan. 6 probe
A federal appeals court granted Trump's request to temporarily halt the release of White House records to lawmakers investigating the deadly Capitol invasion.
I figure they gave Trump about 3 weeks of delay, meanwhile there are a ton of witnesses to go through, all are racking up big legal bills and most are not that rich, some are even desperate. There are many minions with pieces of the puzzle and desperados like Rudy who need to make a deal, in short there is a ton of evidence. They will get the documents, I doubt if the SCOTUS will hear the case and if they do it will be fast tracked. Not everybody is gonna turn down subpoenas, plenty will show up and testifying in public, one day the rats will be running and squealing. An independent special counsel is required to prosecute the 1/6 insurrection and events leading up to it, it was a criminal conspiracy if there ever was one.
We haven't heard much about the FBI's efforts in this area yet, I'm sure they've collected a lot of information and have had interviews with some of the key players.

Insurrection Defendant Gets 41 Months in Prison. But What of the Cases that are Set for Trial?
Judges are beginning to dole out stiffer sentences for insurrectionists, with Judge Royce Lamberth just sentencing defendant Scott Fairlamb to 41 months in prison. As reported by the Washington Post, at sentencing, Judge Lamberth commented that defendant Fairlamb was "smart to plead guilty rather than going to trial." However, there is a counter argument to the judge's observation.
Although more than 100 insurrection defendant's have pleaded guilty, there are between 30 and 40 defendants whose cases are set for trial. And more trials are being set every day. The fact that Donald Trump remains uncharged gives these defendants an additional argument to make at trial that they would not have if Trump was indicted. This video explores that argument and what the Department of Justice can do to defeat it.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon indicted by federal grand jury for contempt of Congress
The indictment is a first: No one has been prosecuted for contempt of Congress when executive privilege was asserted.
If convicted, Bannon could face up to a year behind bars and a fine of up to $100,000.
The fact that the Justice Department was willing to charge him with criminal contempt, despite an assertion of executive privilege, may help persuade other reluctant witnesses to agree to cooperate with the committee's investigation.
Obtaining a conviction for any crime requires proof of acting with improper intent, and Bannon may have a strong defense in arguing that he was acting on the advice of his lawyer not to testify. Some federal courts have ruled that good faith reliance on the advice of counsel is a complete defense in a criminal contempt action.
The record of successful prosecutions for contempt of Congress is a slim one. The authority was widely invoked during the anti-communist hearings of the 1950s, but many of those cases ended either in acquittal or dismissal on appeal.
The last Justice Department prosecution of a contempt referral came in 1983, during the Superfund investigation in the Reagan administration. Former EPA official Rita Lavelle was charged with contempt but her case, too, ended in acquittal.

One of the talking heads (Neil Cathcha or however it is spelled) had a really interesting point. In 20+ years in federal court Garland has not had a decision overruled by the SCOTUS ever. Meaning his shit is tight and if he did this it is unlikely to be able to get trolled away by these propagandists.

Trump supporter who brought 11 Molotov cocktails to Jan. 6 rally pleads guilty
A 71-year-old Alabama man who allegedly brought firearms and 11 Molotov cocktails to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot pleaded guilty to weapons charges during a Friday hearing at a U.S. district court.
Lonnie Coffman's red GMC Sierra pickup truck, parked near the Capitol on Jan. 6, was found to contain hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a trove of weapons, including an assault rifle, a crossbow and stun gun. He was arrested on Jan. 6 after the rally and indicted on 14 counts in January.
Coffman pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of an unregistered firearm for the 11 Molotov cocktails — a cooler of jars filled with rags and ignitable substances — and to unlawfully carrying a pistol without a license in Washington, D.C.
But the rest of his charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement with the Department of Justice.
Coffman, who has been in custody since his arrest on Jan. 6, faces a separate charge in Alabama for possession of 12 additional jars filled with ignitable substances in his house.
Coffman is an ardent support of former President Trump, and his truck contained a handwritten note quoting Abraham Lincoln about overthrowing "the men who pervert the constitution."
