Obstructing an Official Act of Congress and Stopping a Vote

Not when it's done to disrupt a congressional proceeding.

Give him a fair trial and then hang him.

 

[alang1216]

And stopping Congressional action is a felony.
30 years.

Why is he not in prison being held without bail?

Where the Jan 6th arrestees imprisoned without bail before their trials?

Where the Jan 6th arrestees imprisoned without bail before their trials?

Yes.

Far more plausible insurrection effort than 1/6

 

[alang1216]

Yes.

I'd wager none of them were only charged with obstructing Congress. More likely some violence was charged.

At least 70% of people charged in the Capitol riot have been released as they wait for trial, according to a Guardian analysis.

That high pre-trial release rate stands in stark contrast with the usual detention rates in the federal system, where only 25% of defendants nationwide are typically released before their trial.

Give him a fair trial and then hang him.

That's too much. Somewhere in between getting off Scott-free and that. More to the left.
