NEW: Yet another Capitol defendant nabbed because a parent "bragged" about him on Facebook.
Two separate relatives (through marriage, they note) told the FBI about posts made by the mother of 39-year-old Tyler Slaeker. The feds arrested him in Federal Way, Washington.

Alert: Prosecutors say they’ve extended plea offer to former Olympic swimmer Klete Keller in Jan 6 case. And they say they expect Keller to accept.

It does seem like she's spent most of the last few years locking up people associated with Trump, doesn't it?

If memory serves, Judge Amy has read all those redactions we're still waiting to see. Manafort and Stone I think.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson rejects the argument that Capitol rioters are being prosecuted for their views:
"You called yourself and everyone else patriots, but that's not patriotism."
"Patriotism is loyalty to country, loyalty to the Constitution, not loyalty to a head of state."

GOP Congressman Mo Brooks asks court to grant him immunity from January 6 suit
BY MELISSA QUINN
AUGUST 5, 2021 / 8:51 AM / CBS NEWS
Washington — Republican Congressman Mo Brooks of Alabama is asking a federal court to grant him immunity from a lawsuit alleging he incited the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Brooks argued in a filing with the U.S. district court in the District of Columbia he was acting within the scope of his employment as a member of the House when he delivered a speech at a rally outside the White House on January 6.
After his speech and remarks from former President Donald Trump, scores of the former president's supporters descended upon the Capitol and breached the building in an attempt to stop Congress from reaffirming President Biden's win. Five people died and hundreds of people, including law enforcement protecting the building and lawmakers inside, were injured.
The Alabama Republican told the court that as a member of Congress, he is subject to the Westfall Act, which shields federal employees from being sued for engaging in their official duties.
Brooks said his speech was "clearly in the context of House floor votes" during the counting of states' Electoral College votes and in part aimed to protect his relationship with the White House to "preserve and promote space and defense jobs" in his congressional district. Brooks said a White House employee asked him to speak at the rally, and he spoke to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows once about the event.
"Cooperating, or not cooperating, with the White House affects a congressman's effectiveness," he argued. "Certainly rejecting the request of the White House to give a speech at the Ellipse could hurt a congressman's effectiveness."

The Washington Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving six Seattle police officers who were in Washington D.C. during the Jan. 6 insurrection and sued several people who filed public records requests to disclose the officers’ names.

https://komonews.com/news/local/can-sea ... rt-to-ruleAt the time, police accountability investigators said the FBI provided a photo that shows the two officers standing next to the US Capitol as the riot was underway.
The officers told OPA investigators they didn't see anything unlawful going on and were just observers.

Fairlamb is the NJ gym owner with some MMa creds who punched a cop in the head. This case is in Royce Lamberth’s court. God knows what the sentencing will be like.
