A man accused of helping to coordinate a self-styled militia’s incursion into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was released Monday to home confinement after arguing his wife would keep him from falling back into extremist views.

“She has no tolerance for that kind of talk,” federal public defender Angie Halim said.

Only after a federal judge agreed to release Joseph Hackett did a prosecutor mention that his wife, Deena, hosted a political podcast. While the prosecutor did not describe the show’s content, a Deena Hackett co-hosted two episodes of a podcast called “A&D’s Patriot Battle Cry (Rub THAT In!!)” in which she described her husband as a “political prisoner” who was “trying to preserve … this country.” The podcast also includes references to far-right conspiracy theories.

Reached at home, Deena Hackett declined to comment. Her husband’s defense attorneys did not immediately return a request for comment.

Lock him back up. It's obvious the wife walks the same walk and talks the same talk.

The prosecutor was derelict in his Constitutional duty to inform the judge of the wife's podcasts.

3. Whoever is monitoring his release conditions is either going to be worn out, or won't be doing

their job, because sure as the day is long this guy will violate his release terms, probably many many different times and ways.

5. im just getting fed up with these so and so judges . do they realize

what these morans did ?

6. Sounds like prosecutor needs a pink slip.

[rpannier]

8. Sounds like his attorney lied in Court

Investigations. Sanctions?

[rpannier]

7. So his attorney lied in Court and the judge is an idiot

U.S. District Judge Amit B. Mehta said “it would have been good to know” about the podcast “before I released him into the home.” But he still allowed Hackett to leave jail on an added condition that he not participate in the podcast or use a cellphone.

Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh...not participate in the podcast. That's so stringent.
The wife still gets to do the podcast. She DOES hold these outrageous views
I am guessing...Joseph Hackett is white
