Judge Bates found there& #39;s no evidence Klein planned to be violent, coordinated with others or was a leader on Jan. 6.

"Klein’s conduct was forceful, relentless, and defiant, but his confrontations with law enforcement were considerably less violent than many others that day"
Judge also says Klein& #39;s participation on Jan. 6 "constitutes a substantial and deeply concerning breach of trust" and he might be "highly culpable for his conduct." But he says that it& #39;s not clear how Klein& #39;s old job makes him a future threat to the community.
