U.S. judge declines to jail two men accused of impersonating federal agents

WASHINGTON, April 12 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Tuesday declined to jail two men accused of impersonating federal agents and supplying Secret Service personnel with gifts, dealing a blow to prosecutors who had argued that the defendants pose a danger and should be detained.

"There's been no showing that national security information has been compromised," U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Harvey said.

Harvey ordered both men to remain in home confinement, subject to GPS monitoring, with their parents and that they surrender their passports and stay away from airports and embassies. Harvey agreed to stay his order until Wednesday morning while the government mulls whether to appeal.

The judge said prosecutors did not prove that the defendants tried to infiltrate the Secret Service with nefarious purposes, and noted that they were so "spectacularly outed" that there is no risk anymore that they can continue to pose as agents.

Harvey said neither defendant is charged with a violent crime and neither one faces a stiff prison term if convicted - all elements that work against the prosecution's claims that they pose a danger to the community. Harvey added that there have been "significantly worse and more dangerous impersonation cases" before the court in the past.

At the same time, Harvey said he does believe prosecutors have enough evidence to secure convictions in the case.

Who paid this “Judge” off?
These spies are to stay at home with their parents, as though they’re 10 y/o children?

So, is this a matter of an easy-going judge, or is the fix in for them to leave the country so that embarrassing questions don’t get answered? (Such as who they were working for and to what end?)

Good grief. So now you can infiltrate the SS as long as you don’t have ‘nefarious purposes’?

Did they have the proper permits for the guns?

Two Pakistanis, driving around in a fake police car, bribing Secret Service agents, giving them high end rifles, having fake badges... they walk.

But January 6 velvet rope rioters are left to rot.

” they walk.”

You are among the 90% that the media depend on to not read past the headline.

These guys are being protected.
They are being protected by our Federal government. Thus they must be connected to our Federal government.

Something stinks.

Maybe they were hired by the Obama mafia to assassinate the CCP Puppet? It seems strange that if they were a real threat to the Biden’s that they would be able to skate. With democrats, anything is possible.

Looks like the WH C-I-C impersonator is safe for now, at least in front of that judge.

Apparently this same Judge prefers to detain January 6 defendants.

In DC Insurrection Case Morss Is Ordered Detained With Videos On Password Protected USAfx

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Podcast Song
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

FEDERAL COURT, July 20 — On July 13, months after the DC Circuit’s decision in US v. Munchel, DDC Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey had before him Capitol breach defendant Robert Morss - and his parents.

Both parents testified under oath, about a road trip with Robert and his substitute teaching after graduating from Penn State. The US brought up new text messages about a tactical vest that carried armored plates. Morss and his lawyer will get that, and redacted into the docket, then reconvene. Inner City Press live tweeted it here.

Judge Harvey considered videos and purported to order to make them available to the public - but they still are not, confined to a password protected DOJ platform USAfx, see below, even as Judge Harvey detained Morss.
