Couy Griffin will be tried for trespassing on the U.S. Capitol grounds beginning Monday

‘Cowboys for Trump’ founder Couy Griffin stopped by the Trucker’s camp in MD on his way to DC for his J6 trial starting tomorrow. “We’re looking for a big win .. We need to win it. We got to win it. We will win it.”
https://news.yahoo.com/couy-griffin-tri ... 3KWz9UgdRK
On March 21, District 2 Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin is expected to appear in a federal court for his alleged actions on Jan. 6, 2021.

The plaintiff in this case, the federal government, filed a trial brief on March 17 and Griffin's legal team filed a brief response on March 18 in federal court. Both documents were filed just days before the trial's scheduled beginning.

"The defendant joined the mob that entered the area restricted on January 6, 2021 for the safety and security of the Vice President of the United States," the federal government's trial brief states. "At trial, the evidence will prove he acted with knowledge and willfulness when taking those actions on January 6, 2021, and the government will prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."

?? Are there any credible reports that Prince Andrew was ever in NM, let alone committing alleged crimes in the state?

Didn't Epstein own a ranch down there? IIRC it was reported that Prine Andrew was offered an opportunity to visit the ranch alone, with a hostess looking after him...

(ps. the hostess was not underage)

Yes, he did own a ranch there, not clear If Andrew ever visited. I am willing to be corrected.

I may have been wrong with "not underageed". Seems to have been one of the alleged Virginia Roberts incidents

And...I stand corrected. Thank you. Still, what does Macfarlane have to do with reporting on this? Not exactly his beat.

The Griffin guy challenged him rather than answeringa question. MAGA-style everyone who does not agree is a pedophile. And as Griffin is from NM he thought he had a punch line there with the Epstein ranch. But misses far and wide, there is no investigation of any kind open in NM over what happened like fifteen years ago on Epsteins ranch.

Smith says they've agreed with the govt that Pence reached the secure location (the underground loading dock area) at 2:28pm. So that's now an agreed upon fact.

Defense will not present witnesses and Couy Griffin will not be testifying, so they'll move to closing arguments

Count 2: Disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with intent to disrupt orderly conduct of government business - NOT GUILTY, judge announces, finding government failed to meet the elements of the offense

Noting - the Griffin supporter in the “Release the Kraken” jacket followed after prosecutors outside courthouse. Screaming. No security out here to intervene
Also from Scott on same thread:

In lengthy remarks outside, Griffin says the media is trying to make “January 6 look worse than it was” and then uses phrase “fake news” a bunch. References Prince Andrew….. a lot

Griffin is giving VERY extended remarks. The camera crews appear to be mostly activists with cellphones. Talking about vaccine mandates. And the Holocaust. And then adds: “We need to get (Jan 6 defendants) out of jail.. can’t wait for Trump to be re-elected”
From Scott Macfarlane thread above. Can't wait to see video.

Not Griffin per se, but about Otero County (for which Griffin is a commissioner): P&E: New Mexico State Auditor Responds to Public Records Request:
"CONFIDENTIALITY REQUIRED"

In the course of gathering information and reporting on the 2020 election audit being conducted in Otero County, NM, earlier this week The Post & Email submitted several public records requests to state officials who have indicated receiving complaints, particularly about the canvassing portion of the audit wherein the “New Mexico Audit Force,” a volunteer group, is attempting to verify voter-roll data by knocking on doors of residents and asking a template of apolitical questions.

* * *

On March 22, The Post & Email made the following Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) request to the records custodian of the OSA as indicated on its website:
In the letter at the following link:
https://www.thepostemail.com/wp-content ... 142022.pdf

the Office of the State Auditor writes, on page 2, that “additional concerns brought to our attention suggest that it appears volunteer canvassers at the direction of the contractor are falsely representing themselves as employed by [Otero] County.”

Under New Mexico’s Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA), I am seeking all records — in video, written or photographic form — considered to constitute the “additional concerns” to which Mr. Beck referred in his letter.
Executive summary: FOAD; HAND.

The full denial:
