Washington DC’s CBS News affiliate reports:
Before his bond hearing began Tuesday, a federal judge warned Brandon Fellows he could be opening himself up to perjury – or even obstruction of justice – charges if he testified on his own behalf, and that he would likely be going back to jail, regardless. Two hours later, the judge’s warning turned out to be prescient.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mona Furst reportedly got Fellows to admit that he gained access to the Capitol through a broken window, and that he tried to get a previous judge removed from the case using the judge’s wife’s contact information.
At the end of the hearing, McFadden ordered Fellows back into custody and told him: “You’ve admitted to incredible lapses of judgment here on the stand, not least of which was seeking to disqualify a New York state judge.”

Brandon Fellows isn’t getting out of jail before trial.
Judge: “I gave you a chance… You’ve had chance after change.”
“You are charged with a federal felony, this is not some sort of community college where we give people pats on the back.”

Brandon Fellows’ favorite arguments:
1) I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus (before doing so–also, he lives in a bus)
2) It’s unfair
3) Constant improvement.— emptywheel (@emptywheel) October 12, 2021
