Assistant U.S. Attorney Travis Wolf argued Taranto was on the path to repeating his past conduct, citing erratic livestreams, worrying social media posts, including one filmed from a Pentagon parking lot, and failures to comply with supervision rules. Taranto spent two years behind bars before Nichols handed down a conviction but no additional jail time, offering supervised release instead. Now, according to Politico, prosecutors say his return to the capital shows that leniency may have been misplaced.
