Roger Stone's Stop the Steal Effort Included as Proof of Milkshake's Obstruction - emptywheel

Dan "Milkshake" Scott pled guilty to obstruction and assault yesterday.He faces 41 to 63 months of prison.His plea does not include a cooperation agreement, so unless DOJ has kept that hidden in some way (everything about the Proud Boy cases is weird, so I don't rule it out, and his plea also does not include the standard cooperation paragraph, which often means someone has already been interviewed), Scott will not be called as a witness in the Proud Boy leader trial to explain why he yelled, "Let's take the fucking Capitol" two hours before the Proud Boys did just that.

The J6C Transcripts: Patrick Byrne's Conduit, Garrett Ziegler - emptywheel

The other day, I noted that while I agree with Rayne that the January 6 Committee could use referrals to make important symbolic statements, the Committee's referral, in practice, was weaker than it should have been to make that symbolic impact.That made bmaz' earlier gripes about such a referral look more justified.

Merrick Garland Names War Crimes Prosecutor Jack Smith to Oversee Trump Investigations - emptywheel

To my mind, the best part of appointing war crimes and public corruption prosecutor Jack Smith as Special Counsel to oversee the twin investigations into Donald Trump is that it will be a cinch, now, to subpoena Ginni Thomas.Otherwise I have mixed feelings about the decision.I think the letter of DOJ guidelines requires it.
