\"Christopher<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Back in January<\/a>, we talked about this Christopher Lee Cornell fellow who was arrested by federal authorities for plotting a terrorist attack against the US Capitol. The judge did Mr Cornell a favor by forbidding anyone outside of his lawyers to talk to him, anticipating that the defendant is a motormouth. According to the local Fox8 News<\/a>, Cornell’s lawyer smuggled a cell phone to him and the first thing he did with it was to call the local news.<\/p>\n

This week, Cornell made a collect call to CNN affiliate WXIX, said news director Kevin Roach. That phone call initiated what ended up being an hourlong interview, Roach said.<\/p>\n

Cornell\u2019s attorney, Richard Smith-Monahan, argued that WXIX was in contempt of court for violating a January order \u201cdirecting the detention facility holding the Defendant not to permit outside contact by anyone with the Defendant without [defense counsel\u2019s] express approval.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, Monahan has an idiot for a client. So the lawyer tried to get a restraining order issued against the news station to prevent them from broadcasting his client’s admission to terrorist intents. That didn’t work.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Cornell tells the reporter he was planning what would have been a \u201cmajor attack\u201d to take place in Washington on September 20. Cornell repeatedly refers to himself as a member of ISIS, and tells Macke he is very serious about jihad. The interview was taped in three 20-minute segments and was recorded by the jail and WXIX.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good job there, Cornell. But it’s not like his lawyer didn’t hold the nails while Cornell drove them into his own coffin;<\/p>\n

During the hearing, which lasted five hours, a lieutenant at the Boone County facility testified that one of Cornell\u2019s attorneys had given [Cornell] a phone. In that testimony the lieutenant stated that he reminded the attorney that giving Cornell a phone meant he would be able to call anyone he wanted to, which seemed at odds with the spirit of the January court order.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, Cornell’s lawyer lost at the hearing and the news station broadcast part of their interview Friday.<\/p>\n
