Ryan letter. Led down hallway into telephonic meeting w/ lawyers at 13:42 met with distain, mean mugging, talk-down by guards: "What you looking at? Shy! Wah! Talk! Dont stand shy!"

"I am a white Christian male in a 98% African American ran facility, everything I say and do is met w/ extreme measures of resistance. I have been called: honkey white boy, Trump cracker, on & on." Cant trust anyone working here. "This is my message in a bottle."

Sean McHugh — letter to Joe McBride (12-29-21) re: Jacob TDS, John Pierce, 92-115mo plea offer

letter · Dec 29, 2021

Sean McHugh — letter to Joe McBride (12-29-21) re: Jacob TDS, John Pierce, 92-115mo plea offer

Dated 12/29/21 letter from Sean McHugh to attorney Joseph McBride characterizing public defender Maria Jacob as his "public prosecutor not my public defender." Says Jacob would only consider a "public authority" defense to blame Trump for January 6; rejected the Declaration of Independence as a legal document; encouraged him to take a 92-115 month plea on Assault with a Deadly Weapon (federal officer) because she was "afraid they might use the terror enhancement" for a window-breaking charge. Notes he was charged with assault despite no victim identification or weapon found; the only alleged victim looks like an MPD officer, not a federal officer. The one motion Jacob filed sought investigation into Trump ("TDS — Trump Derangement Syndrome") and omitted his requested Comms between Pelosi, Schumer, Capitol Police, MPD, National Guard & Secret Service in days leading up to and on Jan 6th. Was thrilled when John Pierce took his case so he could fire Jacob.

Sean McHugh — pro se ineffective assistance brief (caption + Lexi Negin / Maria Jacob narrative)

Caption page of Sean Michael McHugh’s pro se Ineffectiveness of Counsel brief, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Magistrate No. 1:21-MJ-436, labeled "Brief Outline to go into more detail later." Narrative begins by describing first federal defender Lexi Negin (Sacramento) telling him she is a BLM supporter, that if he were black this would be considered assault, and warning him not to fire Maria Jacob "once out in DC." Both Negin and Jacob waived his 30-day indictment rights; Lexi insisted Sacramento judges are "podunk hillbillies" and only DC "do findings." At his 2nd detention hearing, Maria "went out of her way to implicate my guilt without conferring with me."

Sean McHugh — earlier draft IAC brief (Lexi Negin BLM, DUI/alcoholism, 2nd detention hearing)

Earlier draft (page 1) of Sean McHugh’s ineffective-assistance brief. Top margin: "from the start Lexi told me to admit to alcoholism since I have a DUI." Body alleges federal defender Lexi Negin said she was a BLM supporter, said if he were black it would be considered assault, and warned him not to fire Maria Jacob "in DC else I would look really bad implying I would look racist." Negin told him to exhaust his next detention hearing with Jacob because Sacramento judges are "podunk hillbillies" and DC courts "actually do findings." During 2nd detention hearing, Jacob said things to implicate his guilt without consulting him, told him beforehand to "sit down, shut up and just smile." He felt humiliated.
