Press live
tweeted it, below. There
was an appeal.
Now on March 5,
so-called
Q-Anon Shaman
Jacob Chansley had
a detention
hearing before
Judge Royce
Lamberth, who
questioned
Chansley's
Clayton,
Missouri-based

Watkins about
allegedly
disobeying
orders and
allowing 60
Minutes to film and
interview Chansley
during an
attorney
client video
call from the
jail to
Watkins'
office.
Now
Judge Lamberth
has put into
the docket the

lawyer's firm,
that
interviews had
to go through
US Marshals
Service &
be approved by
judge, email

We'll have
more on this -
Inner
City Press
live tweeted it, here:
Chansley's
lawyer
Watkins: Trump
convinced
people like my
client that
something was
occurring
that, if true,
would have
justified
their actions.
You have high
tens of
thousands of
people who
went to the
Capitol
because they
believed our
President.
Chansley's
lawyer: There
are people who
sold online
property they
stole in the
Capitol, and
they are free,
brushing their
teeth in this
home. My
client never
used a flag in
a violent
fashion. It is
not a spear.
You can
characterize
things anyway
you want
Chansley's
lawyer: You
can't lump all
of them under
one moniker.
There is no
one else
currently
being held who
was not
violent, did
not have
weapons. The
flag is not a
spear.
Chansley's
lawyer: My
client owns
it. He has
apologized and
showed his
face without
paint. This is
as strong a
case for
pre-trial
release as any
out of January
6.
Judge
Lamberth: The
Marshal asked
me if I gave
permission for
Chansley to be
interviewed by
60 Minutes.
How did that
come about? It
seems you did
it as a
subterfuge, in
your office,
by video.
Chansley's
lawyer
Watkins: There
was no
subterfuge.
There was no
interview in
the
jail.
Judge
Lamberth: The
facility was
told it was an
attorney
client
interview.
Chansley's
lawyer: I
didn't tell
them it was an
interview with
60 Minutes.
Judge
Lamberth: I'm
sure you
didn't. I'm
going to file
this in the
record today.
They told you
in advance.
Chansley's
lawyer: I
admit I took
all the steps
with 60
Minutes.
Judge
Lamberth: I'll
put this into
the record for
your response.
And I'll rule
as quickly as
possible.
Adjourned.
We'll
have more on
this.
