So more insurrectionists are being arrested every day for what they did at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

Two questions continue to bubble up.

One, why do they seem to be charged with low-level offenses?

And two, why are the judges releasing them

pending trial rather than detaining them rather than ordering

them jailed pending trial and does any of this really look like equal justice for all?

Let's talk about that, because justice matters. Hey all, Glenn Kirchner here.

So today I want to try to take on two issues.

I've heard the same two questions asked over and over again and they're really

good questions. One is a little bit easier to answer and the other one is a little less easy. So the first question is

why are so many of the insurrectionists being charged with relatively low-level offenses.

And then the second question is,

why are the judges releasing so many of the insurrectionists after they've been locked up,

they've been presented to the court, and now they have to come back for their trial.

Why are so many of them being released instead of detained,

instead of jailed, pending further proceedings in their case.

And it's actually part of the blueprint
