Are we to believe all of this? None of this is exaggerated?

Shitty, biased "reporting"

One google search gave me the docket for his appeal

On September 25, the government filed for another extension of time to respond. In the motion, the ASUA states, "Counsel for petitioner does not oppose this further extension."

Here is a Newsweek article about his appeal strategy

quote:

In the petition to the Supreme Court, Lang's team argues that the defendant did not satisfy the "corrupt" element and that various interpretations in lower courts have led to a "cacophonous result that leaves unsettled significant issues."

"The petitioner submits that the Justice Department's overbroad application of the federal penal code to prosecute participants in the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol is the act of a behemoth unrecognized, unwarranted and unwelcome in American life," the petition reads.

It went on: "Our political life for centuries has been fractious, with violence all too frequent. Seeking to punish and silence dissent in the name of democracy is the twisted dream of a slumbering tyrant."

The petition urged the justices to hear the case "as the nation's attention turns to the 2024 election." It argued that there is "good reason" to suspect the Justice Department's use of the statute will "serve to chill political speech and expression on the eve of one of the most consequential events in American life – the election of the next President of the United States."

Pattis told Newsweek his client expects to hear in the fall if the Supreme Court will hear the case.

Here is the text from an appellate decision from January 2022 denying his release

quote:

---

The evidence proffered by the government shows that, over the course of two and a half hours on January 6, 2021, appellant repeatedly pushed, punched, and kicked at police officers defending the Lower West Terrace entrance to the Capitol building. He also slammed a door against one officer's head and struck other officers first with a stolen riot shield and later with a metal baseball bat.

As we explained in Munchel, "those who actually assaulted police officers . . . are in a different category of dangerousness than those who cheered on the violence or entered the Capitol after others cleared the way." Munchel, 991 F.3d at 1284.

---

After January 6, appellant boasted about his conduct, advocated taking up arms against the government, and attempted to organize militias for future acts of violence.
