In DC Insurrection Case McCaughey Lawyer Cites DOJ Witch Hunt Opposing Complex Case

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Podcast
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

FEDERAL COURT, March 12 – Minutes into a break in the impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate, accused insurrectionist Domenic Pezzola was ordered detained until trial by Magistrate Judge Robin M. Meriweather. Inner City Press live tweeted it, below. There was an appeal.

  Now on March 12, Patrick Edward McCaughey III had a proceeding before District Judge Trevor N. McFadden, and opposed both complex case designation (pending) and the exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act. (That exclusion was granted). The complex case issues is an emerging one, and his lawyer Lindy R. Urso spoke about a witch hunt. Inner City Press live tweeted, here:

McCaughey's lawyer says this is not the largest investigation in DOJ history - it is the biggest political witch hunt. He says there is no public outcry that DOJ collect & watch more video.  McCaughey is in detention. Lawyer is opposing "complex case" designation

 McCaughey's lawyer: In terms of discovery, all they gave us back are his phone and public links. Is that all they showed the Grand Jury to get this indictment? We oppose the motion.

Judge McFadden: There's a lot of overlapping discovery. It will take a while

McCaughey's lawyer: He's charged only for events in that little West tunnel. So discovery should be simple. This should not be joined with all the other things that happened on the Capitol grounds that day. Judge McFadden: In that video, there's 100s of protesters

McCaughey's lawyer: The quandary is caused by the government itself. Normally the US investigates before they arrest & detain. Judge McFadden: Arguably, those who associate themselves with jobs are creating some of the complexity. When would you like to come back?

McCaughey's lawyer: Another three or four weeks. We oppose the exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act. Judge McFadden: Let's come back in 45 days. The government is going to make plea offers, I hope by then. It's hard to schedule jury trial due to COVID.

 Judge McFadden: Sounds like you're willing to forego some of the discovery, just to focus on that tunnel. How about May 4? I'm excluding time, and not ruling yet on the complex case issue.

We'll have more on this.
