A former assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted U.S. Capitol rioters got better bail than some of the accused in the January 6 case after he allegedly stabbed a driver in a fit of road rage on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, former assistant U.S. attorney Patrick Scruggs—who prosecuted some of those accused of storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021—has been charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault and armed burglary. Scruggs, who spent 10 years with the U.S. Attorney's Office, posted $65,000 bail the same day he was arrested in Tampa, Florida.
Scruggs was released from the Pinellas County Jail on Tuesday evening after posting the $65,000 bail. He posted it before an advisory hearing so his bond doesn't include any conditions, but it's possible a motion will be filed to add conditions at a later date.

I saw the other posting on FR I don't think it's as thorough. Actually surprised Newsweek touched this at all.

"He is accused of breaking the window of a vehicle that hit his sedan on Interstate 275 on Tuesday morning and stabbing the driver, the Tampa Bay Times reported. Scruggs also allegedly attempted to stab a couple who stopped to help the victim and then fled the scene. He was apprehended by police shortly after and arrested on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated assault and armed burglary. The victim was hospitalized for serious injuries."

Scruggs also allegedly attempted to stab a couple who stopped to help the victim and then fled the scene. Why wasn't the man held for psychiatric evaluation?

His defiant-face mugshot doesn’t help him. Looks like a “Don’t you know who I am?” expression.

“DOJ prosecutor” would have been more accurate. But we should take what we can get, without the nit-pick.

“DOJ prosecutor” would have been more accurateAnd I would add, his arrogance and murderous impulses are typical of the leftist mindset that has so corrupted every aspect of our federal government.

The article does not say what the average bail was for the January 6th rioters. Without that number making a comparison is impossible.

For one reason, he was a Democrat. For two reasons he was a Democrat. Democrats are above the law. With any luck, he will o.d.
