Eric Munchel and Mom may be released from pre- trial detention.Yesterday the federal appeals court issued a decision that troubles me, if not defeated it would raise the burden of proof to keep guys like Munchel locked up prior to trial. As we know on Jan 6 he breached the Capital with a taser strapped to his leg and claims to have "found" " the handcuff style zip ties inside the capital building, sure he did, no intent or preplanning, yet he was dressed in para military pants, shirt and vest as he leaped over chairs in the Capital: to my eye he came there on Jan 6 to detain or kidnap one of our legislators had they not narrowly escaped to safety. He and Mom are still detained while the government prepares a response to justify

(again )as to why the two should remain behind bars prior to trial . Eagerly waiting your analysis on this: the government chances at prevailing and the effect this could have on other cases of pretrial detainment if the government does not prevail. "Zip Tie Guy" really upsets me in particular, I guess we all have our insurrectionist "favorites" LOL. BTW, I have followed you for years, wherever you have traveled to when the Twitter trolls swarmed and seemed to develop indigestion from too truthful spicey content..and deeply appreciate your hard work analysis of these ongoing court cases as we hopely see the government move up the legal food chain from smaller fish to the orange hate goblin himself. Speaking of food, Instapots rock.
