Emails we obtained via records request show how #Newnan, GA law enforcement planned for the National Socialist Movement rally based on false info in a FB post spread by the Three Percenter militia, who provided armed security for nazis in #Charlottesville unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p…
The post, originally by #Newnan resident & self-described "anti-antifa" Clay Perry, seems to have been taken at face value by cops. Perry's claims included inflated numbers of up to 12,000 ppl & false reports of hidden weapons caches throughout the city.

unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p…
When a separate records request asked #Newnan Police for evidence for their rather high estimate of 12,000 anti-racist counter-protesters, they provided a Facebook post from an obviously fake antifa page as support for their claims. unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p…
Perry, whose post was copied by a Three Percenter page & forwarded by Newnan police & sheriffs, is a far-right militia supporter who claimed last August that “actual nazis & white supremacists…were the vast minority of rally attendees” in Charlottesville. unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p…
While none of the claims in the 3% militia FB post came to pass, or seem to have been credible in the first place, the post nonetheless ended up in planning materials for a major law enforcement operation involving over 800 officers from dozens of agencies unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p…

#BREAKING: Federal prosecutors just filed notice that they are dismissing charges against 38 Trump inauguration protest defendants who had been facing decades in prison after being mass-arrested at #J20 protests. Report coming soon.
Our new report breaks down today's #J20 legal news, which likely represents a decisive end to the troubled case in which federal prosecutors had been fighting tooth & nail to convict anti-Trump protesters based on a wide-reaching conspiracy theory unicornriot.ninja/2018/us-attorn…
We've been doing our best to cover the #J20 case since the events of January 20, when hundreds of people took to the streets of DC for a militant street march demanding "No Peaceful Transition" for the new Trump administration: unicornriot.ninja/2017/no-peacef…

The ICE manual for undercover agents describes how agents & informants are allowed to break the law & can use "proceeds" from illegal businesses to fund their own operations in the field. Profits can also be paid to other agencies and foreign governments unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…

DC Superior Court is resuming session for the day shortly. On the 3rd floor around 9:30 AM, Chief Judge Robert Morin will be ruling on pre-trial matters for two upcoming Trump inauguration protest trial groups.

#J20 #J20trials
Last week, Chief Judge Morin ruled that prosecutors @USAO_DC violated the ‘Brady Rule’ by withholding evidence helpful to the defense. Today he will decide how to ‘sanction’ the prosecution. unicornriot.ninja/2018/prosecuto… #J20 #J20trials
Judge Morin has suggested he may forbid the govt from continuing to use an undercover Project Veritas video of a protest planning meeting. New filings from the defense last night claim dozens of more Project Veritas videos were hidden from defense by US Attorneys

Court has resumed in the second #J20 Trump inauguration protest trial being overseen by Judge Kimberley Knowles. So far, jurors haven’t come into the courtroom yet, as Knowles has heard arguments over defense requests for a mistrial and motions for judgement of acquittal
The defense early this morning renewed their request for a mistrial. Counsel stated they had received partial information in response to their subpoena to ‘Matt’ from Project Veritas but they don’t have time to properly research this information to inform their arguments at trial
Yesterday, attorneys for each defendant had argued to Judge Knowles as to why all charges should be dismissed. Today, under her obligation to view evidence “in the light most favorable to the govt,” Judge Knowles allowed all but a few of the charges to remain.

The second trial stemming from the mass-arrest during protests against Trump’s inauguration is continuing this week in DC Superior Court. So far today, two prosecution witnesses have testified.

#J20
#J20trials
The first witness to testify today was Laurel Hassberger, a forensic technician who recovered several objects from the scene of the mass arrest at 12th & L on #J20. Assistant US Attorney Qureshi did a “show and tell” type presentation of several recovered objects to the jury.
This portion of testimony was basically identical to Hassberger’s appearance in the first trial. The prosecution dramatically presented several objects such as hammers, goggles, & crowbars. When cross examined, Hassberger admitted she pulled no fingerprints or DNA from the items
