I think they call it “due process”.
And if it were literally anyone else, they would have been put in prison while awaiting trial due to their clear and present danger of inciting violence and retaliation.
I do not understand why everyone walks on eggshells around this asshole.
They don't want to make him a martyr.
At the very least with this approach when he’s found guilty there will be no argument for impropriety or unfair treatment that could be used to get him out.
As if having no argument has stopped Magats before. They thrive on ignorance and malice.
No good faith argument. But many are not willing to confine themselves to good faith.
We have to be especially careful with people with significant resources. Any small mistakes caused by moving quickly can be leveraged for less consequences do to technicalities. In these cases, being reactionary is a detriment.
How is it a mistake in this case to remand the defendant?
Yes being in jail while awaiting trial is very common for people who behave badly on bail or are poor.
He should be treated the same as everyone else and await his trial in jail for his poor behavior and for being a flight risk.
I mean, the guy has a private plane and properties in foreign counties and friends in places out of the US’s reach. Certainly more of a flight risk than most folks..
A person doesn't stay out on bail when they're intimidating witnesses
Millions of people are jailed pending trial.
Indeed, and many are allowed to go about their lives while awaiting trial.
The magistrate is demanding Trump's response by 5 PM on Monday.
Jan 6 v2 - indictment boogaloo
What are they going to do? Take his phone away?
Yes. That's exactly what they would do if it was anyone else. Your bail would be revoked. Or you would be tossed in jail for contempt of court.
Demonstrates just how dangerous he is - sit back and commit stochastic terrorism through your followers.
Tell him he's a bad bad boy
I genuinely would not want to be connected with any of the people charging and trying him. I'd be looking over my shoulder more than I do when I walk through a bad neighborhood at night.
