Judge says Griffin's arg that he didn't go inside the Capitol isn't persuasive, that it's not a situation where it's ok to go as far as you can into a restricted area as long as you do it politely. He also says he considers Griffin's comments threatening violence — "words matter"

Judge says Griffin's refusal to recognize the results of the election — and that being the reason he participated in the insurrection — worked against him in arguing he would follow a judge's orders if released. Also notes he showed no remorse and "doubled down" after Jan. 6
