Flight risk? They were going to meet with a sheriff.
18 U.S.C. § 372 Conspiracy to Impede Officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats
The penalty is “fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six years, or both.” In 2002, fined “not more than $5,000” was changed to “fined under this title”.
> They weren’t going to just let him walk out and go home.
Understood. It’s not like he’s Al Capone though.
No. But I'm sure that part of this is FBI and Federal Government payback for what happened at the ranch in Nevada. They'll throw every charge they can at them this time.
Flight risk as in if they let them out on bail then the Bundy boys will never turn up for the trial. They'll hole up somewhere and the government will have to dig even harder to get them out. That "flight risk".

Another Gadsden flag was put up in a town nearby.
