The judge, a Reagan appointee FWIW, said Jacob Chansley was a flight risk.
If anyone is new here, "QAnon Shaman" a.k.a. Jake Angeli, a.k.a. Jacob Chansley, is an actor with a history of attending climate & BLM rallies before he began associating with the "QAnon" movement. He immediately denounced Q and Trump after getting arrested for his part in the "insurrection" of Jan. 6.
His not being released lends "some" credibility that he was working on Trump's side. Probably the only credibility he has at this point.
I always saw it as, he’s not being released so white hats can’t follow him back to his antifa/BLM world. He’s being protected while “being in custody”...
