They made good weapons IIRC.

Well, Trump may be quietly massing his supporters to intimidate DOJ and court personnel as well as potential jurors. There is nothing that guy might not attempt.

tfg doesn't do anything quietly

Oh look exactly what he got in trouble for last time

CNN just had a report from outside the courthouse. They panned out to a corner across the street where tfg's supporters are. I think I counted five. There's also big snow plows lined up on the side of the street it's believed tfg's motorcade will enter the courthouse.

Plane has landed. Wheeee! Breezy day and cameras were rolling when his hair flopped and flapped in the wind

Protesters now number in the "dozens" according to reporter.

Looks like a "reporters vastly outnumber protesters" situation.

MSNBC says Jack Smith is in the courtroom. There is an overflow room, so we'll likely get quicker updates. Officers Dunn and Hodges, as well as retired Gonell are in the overflow room.

No one really knows why, they're just there...

Donald Trump's lawyer says, "President Trump" is present.

Judge Upadhyaya says, "Good afternoon, Mr. Trump."

With Don and Don Jr. together there's no telling how much coke might fall out of their pockets.

Apparently some of the DC judges dealing with all this J6 stuff were sitting in the back of the courtroom. The only name I caught and remembered was Amy Berman Jackson.

Andrew Weissman on MSNBC said in 30 plus years of criminal law practice these are things he has never heard in an arraignment:

1-that the judge tells the defendant that the most important of his conditions of release is that he does not commit any crimes. Usually, the judge says the most important condition is that the defendant show up for every court hearing.

2-that the very next words out of the Magistrate's mouth were that attempting to influence the jury was a crime.

It is unusual, but not unheard of, for judges to observe each other in action.

Having access to a historical event is one of the many perqs of being a federal judge.

Why snow plows?

Same reason cops occasionally use garbage trucks for cover. They're big, heavy and bulletproof. A few snowplows or garbage trucks can protect much more area than a bunch of cop cars can, and you can just drive them away when they aren't needed anymore. Much easier than the 2 or 3 days it would take to set up and break down any other type of comparable barrier.

"Your Honor, I can't get a fair trial in this town, which hates me because I've repeatedly insulted it."

HOLY SHIT! Joe Biden arrested him and that's not front page news?

I hope he "double clicked" him.

Woah. Chris Christie arrested him!

CNN has had some good coverage. Someone said the judges were there to support the rule of law and make a statement to T**** that the judiciary was united.

It continues to be clear that the J6 arrests have been a deterrent to riotish behavior. But even the MAGAts must be getting tired of having to defend him with all these Indicates. Will Mike Lindell be at Bedminster for a party tonight? Haven't heard about that yet.

It's sad that American kids, who should look up to a president, have to see a lying criminal brought to justice. I remember how proud people were around President Obama. What a shame kids are seeing this criming. But, at least they are seeing that justice comes for everyone. T**** always talks about his legacy. Donald, its in shreds. Wish we could see how he's covered in history books in 50 years.

If it's such a dirty, filthy, and dangerous place, why do you want so desperately to go live there? If it's so dirty and filthy, why didn't you have it cleaned up? Was that going to happen after you got Congress to fund your wall?

Bomb resistant. In case of emergency, point the plow towards the threat.
