Covering some interesting developments in some Capitol riot prosecutions

I have previously noted that the high-profile Capitol riot prosecutions provide an interesting lens on how a set of distinctive cases work their way through the federal criminal justice system.  And today I noticed a bunch of recent press pieces with interesting accounts of certain parts of this federal case processing story for certain defendants.  Here are links and headlines:

From BuzzFeed News, "They Said Trump Told Them To Attack The Capitol. Judges Are Keeping Them In Jail Anyway."

From CNN, "Justice Department preps plea deals for rioters from viral video of cops trapped in Capitol tunnel"

From Law & Crime, "Federal Appeals Court Upholds Decision to Keep Proud Boy Behind Bars Ahead of Trial for Pepper Spraying Police"

From NBC News, "FBI still after 'worst of the worst' in Capitol riot as new arrests come at steady pace"

From the New York Times, "‘There Was a Big Battle in Here’: Lawyers Tour Capitol as a Crime Scene"
