although, the crimes he has been charged for are not yet bringing jail time. Its total bullshit, but they are not. If he does not come home, maybe, just maybe the judges will stop letting these people take these trips. Brian Sicknick can not go on trips, he is dead, killed bu this guy and his fellow insurrectionists.

Fuck him, may he rot in a Mexican jail.

By September things could change a lot. So there's that. It still beggars belief that the judge would allow it.

It's in the first paragraph of the order.

"Counsel for the United States does not object to the motion."

So, this wasn't just some random judge going off half-cocked.
