Judge: Trump appointee Trevor McFadden, notoriously sympathetic to some of the rioters and has openly questioned why the DoJ is "going after January 6th suspects, but not BLM rioters," even though the DoJ did go after BLM rioters as well.

Basically, the defense attorney showed up late and the judge wanted to know why. The defense attorney said that Jack Smith's team was asking another one of his clients "questions that infringe on executive privilege."

"Talk about obstructions of official proceedings," McFadden said in response. "The government has not acted as I required."

• Judge McFadden is one who is openly skeptical of charging January 6th defendants with the obstruction of an official proceeding charge, even though they clearly did obstruct an official proceeding.

The judge summoned special counsel prosecutors from the grand jury room to his court room. People are bewildered, and someone was overheard saying they've never seen this happen before.

All this is happening during the verdict hearing for Frederico Klein, someone who was in the lower west terrace tunnel on January 6th. He was a Trump state department appointee.

I'm assuming we aren't going to find out what that conversation was about.

Smith's prosecutors should have told him to fuck off.

Geez, I knew that he was sympathetic to the Jan 6thers and gave out lenient sentences, however I didn't know he was also one of those "why are we prosecuting Jan 6ers? WHATABOUT BLM?!"

Trying to figure out what Frederico Klein's verdict was... the judge apparently read the verdict in the middle of all this

Thank fucking we don't have another 4 years of putting fascist clowns on the bench.

They really need to televise this stuff so we don't have to get updates through social media

The craziness surrounding the judge summoning special counsel prosecutors to the room seems to have crowded out any updates about the verdict, lol

Federico Klein, of Virginia, was found guilty of six counts of assaulting police and one count each of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding all felonies on Thursday by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden. McFadden also convicted Klein on four misdemeanor counts, but said the government hadn't met its burden to apply dangerous weapon enhancements that could have resulted in Klein being sent directly to jail to await sentencing.
