Insurrection DJ Rubenacker Frustrated With US Corruption Released on $50K Bond in EDNY

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

FEDERAL COURT, Feb 9– Six days after in the US Capitol among other things Mark Leffingwell stuck a Capitol Police officer repeatedly with a closed fist, he was released to fly back to his home in Seattle, no GPS monitor, no bond. 

 For Long Island D.J. Greg Rubenacker it went the same way, with arrest and release on the same day, February, in EDNY Federal Court before Magistrate Judge Steven Locke. Inner City Press live tweeted it, here:

  US v. Rubenacker fiing on Patreon here

US cites "Snapchat story that user GREG RUBENACKER had posted from his account. The witness stated that Snapchat user RUBENACKER had sent multiple Snapchat videos to the witness from inside the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021"

Judge: This is a proceeding seeking the removal of Mr. Rubenacker to the District of Columbia. Did you sign his document, Special Agent Gallagher? Gallagher: Yes.

Judge: There is a complaint with two charges -- Rubenacker: Both of those are wrong.

 Judge: You have the right to counsel Rubenacker: OK. Judge: Excuse me? Rubenacker: I said OK. Yes I understand.... Trespassing? Judge: You should speak with your lawyer. Let's take a break for 15 minutes.

 They're back.

Rubenacker: I'm frustrated.  Lawyer Michael Matera: Please don't discuss the case.  Rubenacker: I'm frustrated with the corruption of the government. Judge: Have you now seen or heard about the charges? 

Rubenacker: Yes. Can I take this mask off?  Judge: No, you have to keep it on. You are in a place with other people.

 Judge: State your name on the record. Rubenacker: What did you say?

Judge: Say your name. Rubenacker: Greg Thomas Rubenacker. Judge: Is that your signature? Rubenacker: I think so.

 AUSA: I think we have an agreement on a $50,000 unsecured bond and special conditions recommended by Pre-Trial Services. Judge: Is that the agreement?

Rubenacker's assigned counsel: Yes. Judge: Can you hear me? Rubenacker: I'm pinning my face [?] so I can hear you.

 So Rubenacker is being released.

As to Leffingwell, Inner City Press covered the case.   U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey held the detention, or really non-detention, proceeding. Inner City Press live tweeted it here:  (then, song here)
