I mean, it got the intended results.
No it didn't.
The intended results are to show others what happens when you commit sedition against the US. Republicans making thier own disappear to avoid sentencing is not the intended result.

Yup, house arrest and then we lose you. Oops.

I'm not giving the legal system that much benefit of the doubt.
This conspiracy theory doesn't make much sense to me. If they wanted to they could have just gave him probation and sent him on his way, right? Why go through this convoluted path of charging him and convicting him, and let him go?
Am I misunderstanding you? It feels like I'm misunderstanding you.
I mean...of course he did.
He was put on house arrest because of awful prison conditions. He should've just been moved to another prison.
What did they think he would do when he was about to be sent back? You put him in prison for a reason.
I, for one, am SHOCKED that the violent man who violently stormed the Capital and committed violent acts against people would just up and vanish from his house arrest. It's like he doesn't even care about the law!
Another proud coward. Big mouths, no brain, no spine.
Would not have happened had the jail treated him properly, I expect, and also I am unsurprised that someone who literally tried to overthrow the government would not comply with his release conditions.
They better be tracking him.
