SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 19 – Among the criminal
cases started after the events
in the U.S. Capitol on January
6 is that of Edward Jacob
Lang.
On January 19 he
was detained in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
Inner City Press live tweeted
it, here
and below.
From the
complaint: "the investigative
agencies began receiving
tips from the public related
to the civil unrest and breach
of the United States Capitol
and multiple identified
LANG as being involved. The
tips included photographs of
LANG on the grounds of
the Capitol on January 6,
2021. At least one photograph,
shown below, identified
Instagram @realjakelang (the
“Subject’s Instagram”) as the
account used by LANG.
The photograph appears
to have been posted at some
point during or after the
attack on the Capitol,
and depicts LANG wearing a
black jacket with numerous
silver zippers and a ribbed
pattern on the
shoulders, standing on the
steps of the Capitol. LANG
captioned the photograph, is
“1776 has commenced.”
From Inner City
Press' thread
on the detention hearing: Lang
posted a photo of himself on
Instagram, per the Complaint,
with the caption: "“Pepper
spray really does wonders for
your complexion #1776.”
Lang just
said he is 25. "one year at
Hunter College in Manhattan"

@innercitypress · 1h Agent
Rudnick: Yes, I signed the
removal affidavit. Defense:
That's not the affidavit we've
seen.
Judge: You're
probably referring to the
probable cause affidavit, by
FBI Special Agent LaNard
Taylor. Defense: Yes.
Judge: What
is Mr. Lang's position on Rule
20? Defense lawyer: I don't
know.
[Rule 20: A
prosecution may be
transferred... to the district
where the defendant is
arrested... if: (1) the
defendant states in writing a
wish to plead guilty or nolo
contendere" etc AUSA: The
government is seeking
detention, and I believe the
defendant is consenting to it
without prejudice. Judge: Is
that correct? Defense: Yes.
Now Lang will
speak with his lawyer until 5
pm about Rule 20, possible
plea in SDNY.
Lang is back -
his lawyer apologizes for
bringing in associate not
admitted in SDNY or EDNY.
Judge says there probably
won't be more proceedings
here- it's headed to DC.
Defense: We will
not proceed with nolo plea
here, waiving Rule 20 rights.
AUSA: Marshals
tell me actual transfer to DC
is unlikely for weeks due to
COVID. Judge: OK, status
update in 2 weeks then.
Lang
proceeding is ending with
requests for medical treatment
for bruised foot - and for
protective custody due to
"controversy of the case."
Lang's lawyer
asked for it, but Judge says
can't order that. DDC hearing
set for Tuesday Feb 2, 1 pm
