"Supreme Court's Review of Jan. 6 Rioters' Obstruction Charges and Implications for Trump"
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court's review of an obstruction law used against Capitol rioters has led to the release of about 10 defendants from prison, with more expected to follow. Federal judges have allowed these individuals to await the court's decision at home, creating complications as the interrupted sentences could be reinstated depending on the ruling. The law, known as 18 U.S.C. 1512, has been used against over 350 rioters, including prominent figures like the "QAnon Shaman" and members of extremist groups.
