Replying to @MacFarlaneNews
Pennsylvania Parole Board had lodged a detainer against Samsel. Per court "the defendant would remain incarcerated pursuant to the Pennsylvania detainer until at least April 24, 2022." (which allows time to dispose of Jan 6 case)

But look at what judge said (more thread) ==>

@MacFarlaneNews
Judge:

"Defendant’s lengthy history of assaultive conduct, and the risk that the Defendant will use violence against the democratic process in general or certain individuals in particular, all weigh in favor of his detention"

Threat to *democratic process* (Powerful words)
