FEDERAL COURT,
Feb 17 – Detained
after
the US Capitol
incursion on
January 6,
Eric Gavelek
Munchel and
Lisa
Eisenhart
appeared on
February 17
before before
DDC Judge
Royce C.
Lamberth. In
the air:
the zip-ties
Munchel
was photographed
with. Inner
City Press
live tweeted
it, here:
Assistant
US Attorney
Ahmed Baset:
The video
shows Mr.
Munchel is
helping people
to approach
and come
closer to the
Capitol. In
terms of
conditions of
release, the
single chat
found on his
cell phone
show no
condition
could preclude
him from
coordinating
with Proud
Boys
AUSA:
His priority
is to be, as
he'd put it, a
true patriot.
So no
conditions
could prevent
danger to the
community. The
transition of
power to
President
Biden has made
this worse:
Ms. Eisenart
says she is
willing to die
for this cause
AUSA:
The argument
that they did
not try to
hide should
not be
credited -
they knew the
whole world
was looking
for them, the
FBI, everyone.
Still, Mr.
Munchel
deleted his
Facebook
account so the
media would
stop
bombarding
him.
AUSA:
The release
conditions
would have Mr
Munchel
staying at the
house of W-2.
We've obtained
a video from
his phone
that's a clip
of a longer
video
AUSA:
Ms. Eisenart
and Mr.
Munchel, they
felt entitled
to walk into
the Capitol
building; they
were willing
to use force
to stop the
vote from
being
certified.
They were
dressed for
combat. These
conditions
still exist in
our country.
Do not release
them.
Eisenart's
lawyer Gregory
Smith: My
client only
heard "someone
punched two of
them." She
didn't know
they were
police
officers.
Dying for
cause? That's
false. She
said, She
would rather
die than live
under a
country of
oppression.
There is no
cause she's
connected with
Eisenart's
lawyer: In
terms of
feeling
entitled, if
it were ever
true, it's not
now. In prison
the
temperature is
55 degrees. 23
hours in the
cell. She was
prohibited
from any phone
calls, even on
her mother's
birthday this
last Sunday
Eisenart's
lawyer: It
would be wrong
for the Court
to conclude
they would not
comply with
conditions.
She's been a
registered
nurse for 30
years.
Munchel's
lawyer Sandra
Roland: The
AUSA's
rebuttal was
like a
sentencing
argument.
Judge
Lamberth: I'll
rule as
promptly as I
can. For the
next
conference,
March 10 at 1
pm.
Eisenart
will not
consent to
Speedy Trial
time
exclusion. But
there's a DDC
order, no?
We'll
have more on
this.
