JON SCHAFFER Considering Cooperation Plea Agreement Aimed At Resolving Capitol Riot Matter



zoom
CNN is reporting that at least one of the Capitol riot defendants has flipped against the Proud Boys, agreeing to provide information that could allow the Justice Department to bring a more severe charge against the group's leadership, according to an attorney involved in the case.

The development is the first indication that people charged in the insurrection are cooperating against the pro-Trump extremist group. Federal prosecutors have made clear they are focused on building conspiracy cases against leadership of the Proud Boys and paramilitary groups like the Oath Keepers.

Court records have made murmurs for weeks about cooperators and plea deals in the works, and prosecutors revealed that a rioter wearing an Oath Keepers hat was in talks to cooperate earlier this week.

Yet the cases are still in early stages. None of the defendants have pleaded guilty yet, and prosecutors have struggled at times to convince judges to perceive high-profile defendants as conspirators who organized the violence toward Congress on January 6 in advance.

What happens next is likely to follow the same pattern as in organized crime or drug investigations, with prosecutors pressuring knowledgeable defendants to become witnesses. Some may sign up to cooperate, and many of those charged are likely to plead guilty to avoid trial or more severe charges.

So far, around two dozen people associated with the Proud Boys have been charged with federal crimes related to the riot.

It's always been likely that prosecutors would gain cooperators against the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other extremist factions involved in the riot, according to several defense attorneys involved in the cases.

"Whenever you have a large group of people arrested and in jail, prosecutors will typically observe the group and pressure defendants to flip on one another", said Martin Tankleff, a criminal defense attorney who spent years in prison for a wrongful conviction. "They're going to start talking. They're going to start sharing information."

Tankleff represents a handful of Capitol riot defendants, including alleged Proud Boy "warrior" Dominic Pezzola; Ryan Samsel, who his attorneys say was beaten by a guard at the DC Jail in March; and Richard Barnett, the boastful Arkansas man accused of putting his feet on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office. Tankleff and his law partner Steven Metcalf declined to comment on the status of their clients' cases in the Capitol riot investigation.

Weeks ago, another attorney for Pezzola wrote in court filings that he believed a so-called "cooperating witness" was sharing information about the Proud Boys. Prosecutors had revealed the witness heard Proud Boys members talking about wanting to kill members of Congress and then-Vice President Mike Pence and return to Washington for Inauguration Day, and that members of the group had access to guns. The witness wasn't charged with a crime and isn't affiliated with the Proud Boys, the Justice Department later clarified.

In other cases, court records have shown key people among the extremist groups on January 6 haven't been indicted, for reasons that are still unclear. And some defendants who aren't charged in the alleged extremist group conspiracies could have valuable information for the investigation.

At least one defendant, Jon Schaffer, a guitarist with the heavy metal band Iced Earth, is considering cooperating, according to a filing on Monday. Schaffer allegedly charged at police officers in the Capitol insurrection and is in jail while he awaits trial. In court, he has distanced himself from the Oath Keepers.

Still, Schaffer did "debrief interviews" starting in March, according to the filing, which prosecutors intended to share in court confidentially and mistakenly made public.

"Based on these debrief interviews, the parties are currently engaged in good-faith plea negotiations, including discussions about the possibility of entering into a cooperation plea agreement aimed at resolving the matter short of indictment," the filing said.

Read the full report at CNN.com.

On February 15, Iced Earth frontman Stu Block, bassist Luke Appleton and guitarist Jake Dreyer announced in separate statements they have officially left the band. In addition, Blind Guardian frontman Hansi Kürsch announced he has dissolved his Demons & Wizards partnership with Schaffer.

В лучших традициях НКВД, - надавить так, чтобы рассказал то, чего не было. Быстрее бы закончилось это шоу. За БЛМ -щиков так бы брались, когда крушилось все и вся, но нет - это было бы недемократично.
