QAnon adherent and admitted Capitol Hill insurrectionist Kenneth Grayson has a hearing today. He allegedly sent the following DM to a friend: "I left one unconscious so I did my little part and got the fuck out before I got arrested.” Grayson was later arrested. This is a thread.
D.C. Magistrate Judge Robin M. Meriweather is presiding. Currently hashing things out with the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office over scheduling concerns for today and the rest of the month. Defense counsel currently conferring privately. Grayson just got on the line and ID'd himself.
Stanley Greenfield is local counsel appearing for the defense. He just asked if the government would be willing to forego making Grayson pay for his own electronic monitoring. (Yes, the attorneys have skipped ahead of things a bit. The hearing has not officially started yet.)
AUSA Soo C. Song was on this case as attorney of record via the Western District of Pennsylvania. But AUSA Judy Smith is on the line and taking the lead for now. But D.C. AUSA Mary Dohrmann will be the actual prosecutor for the government. Lots of lawyers. Hope not too confusing.
Grayson just said he was outfitted with an electronic monitor by pre-trial services today. The hearing is focused on "courtesy supervision" (release provided to defendants referred by other jurisdictions) provisions of Grayson's bail. The conditions are being determined today.
