“Previously, from 2007 to 2016, Mr. Graves worked as an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia, where he served in the Office’s Fraud and Public Corruption Section, ultimately serving as the acting chief of the Section. From 2002 to 2007, Mr. Graves was an associate at WilmerHale. From 2001 to 2002, he served as a law clerk for Judge Richard W. Roberts on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Mr. Graves received his J.D. from Yale Law School in 2001 and his B.A. from Washington and Lee University in 1998”
Judge Michael appears to not see the gravity here. What the actual hell does one have to do to be locked up? 1/6 terrorists walking freely! We're letting the 09/18 folks know when they come they have no consequences for words/actions.
Technically the Magistrate Judge’s hands are tied -meaning it is up to the USAO to either “orally” move for detention or file a motion for Pretrial detention. Based on the Bail Reform Act —a court can only “act” if the Prosector request detention, because it’s at a preliminary hearing stage. Typically if a Prosector is under a time constraint then that’s when they docket an “oral motion” that wasn’t done here. My assumption is the charges didn’t warrant detention. Since the charges didn’t include assaultive behavior towards law enforcement —just a threat of hanging the SoH & Sen Maj Leader. Although I am genuinely surprised that very few cases include 18 U.S.C. §351 Assault (which isn’t battery. Assault is the threat of physical violence, actually doing physical violence is the “battery” —I hope that makes sense
He should not be set free, ever.
I wonder why the acting AG hasn't been replaced.
Back in late July President Biden nominated Matthew M. Graves, U.S. Attorney nominee for the District of Columbia
