NEW: Justice Dept to seek *3 months* jail in the US Capitol breach case of Couy Griffin

Griffin is an Otero County, NM county commissioner convicted on *one* charge in first Jan 6 *bench trial*, in which judge ruled in case. Rather than jury

He arrived at court in caravan

ALERT: New Mexico Sec of State notifies Justice Dept it has referred Couy Griffin, an Otero County Commissioner & Jan 6 defendant for new criminal investigation

For refusing this month "to comply with.. mandatory duty under the Election Code in certifying the election returns"

Sentencing is set for 2pm tomorrow. So.... standby for that

ALSO HAPPENING TODAY: Judge McFadden will sentence Couy Griffin, the Cowboys for Trump founder who was convicted on one misdemeanor count for his Jan. 6 activities. Though McFadden seemed inclined to be gentle, Griffin is facing new allegations of violating election law in NM.

One thing to remember: McFadden was ready to sentence Griffin on the day of his conviction. He said he was ready to go, but Griffin asked for more time to prepare sentencing materials.

Only in my mind.

J6 defendant and Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin says he was unfairly removed from office by a judge for being an insurrectionist. Host Dr. Gina then says she has been unable to fly since J6 because she is still on a ‘No Fly’ list.

Former Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin caused a fuss at the Otero County Commission meeting last week when his time at the public comment table became so heated, one of the sitting county commissioners plans to file a restraining order against Griffin.

Griffin was unhappy that Stephanie DuBois, a Democrat, was appointed to his old seat after Griffin was removed from office based on the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment’s Disqualification Clause after his conviction related to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection in Washington, D.C.

At one point, before the meeting livestream went dark, Sheriff David Black, a Republican who ran unopposed in the 2022 election, took the microphone from the public comment table away from Griffin who said “well now, you get tough. Now you’re a tough guy, huh?” to Black.

The meeting livestream went dark for about 10 minutes before the meeting reconvened.

“We’re going to go ahead and continue but I am asking you right now that we keep this civil,” Marquardt said when the meeting reconvened. “We’re all godly people here and we need to keep that in mind. And you all haven’t seen me ride in on my broom yet, but it was about there this morning. We’re going to keep this civil.”

The New Mexico Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a two-page order dismissing Griffin’s appeal of an earlier court ruling that removed him from his elected position and barred him for life from serving in elected federal and state positions.

The ruling marked the first time an elected official was unseated by court order as a result of participating in or supporting the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Tuesday’s dismissal affirms the ruling.

When someone appeals a ruling to the New Mexico Supreme Court, they must file a statement that accurately and concisely explains the legal issues in the case and outlines how the courts have handled similar appeals in the past.

However, all five justices of the Supreme Court wrote on Tuesday that Griffin “failed to file a statement of issues” ahead of the 30-day deadline under the rules of New Mexico’s court system.

‘Cowboys for Trump’ founder and J6 defendant Couy Griffin says the night he spent in the downtown DC jail was inhumane: “The bugs in this place! Every single different bug you can imagine. I mean, this place was scary!”
