John Sullivan had been ordered not to work for 'Insurgence USA' – then promoted the group in an interview with InfoWars

A US federal judge has declined to send a suspect accused of involvement in the Capitol riots to jail, despite ruling that he violated his release orders.

John Sullivan, 26, was accused of violating a previous order from a different judge by buying a smartphone, trying to access Twitter and promoting his organisation “Insurgence USA” on InfoWars and inviting its members to attend his court hearing.

US magistrate judge Robin Meriweather expressed “serious concerns” after Mr Sullivan violated his release order immediately after he was allowed to go home last month. However, she said, she doesn’t believe Mr Sullivan poses any danger to the community or that the court didn’t have any other option to ensure his compliance in future, according to a report published by Buzzfeed.

Magistrate Judge Robin M. Meriweather was appointed as a United States Magistrate Judge on January 10, 2017.

And throw his ass back in jail. What kind of a Judge says “ you violated the release order but there is nothing I can do about it”. Maybe not the exact quote but what is being said. Bullshit, you are a Federal Judge, there is something you can do about it, you just choose not to there is a big difference.
