He did not rape a baby. He had child porn images. In light of that, this bail amount is appropriate. A lot of people have images of criminal acts and we don't act like they actually committed the act themselves unless there is evidence.
You're just getting swept up in this mob mentality witch hunt that is pizzagate. Yes, child porn and exploitation is bad. Totally horrible and wrong. But having pictures of something horrible is not the same as committing the act, and the punishment should fit the crime.
I'm not defending anyone. The title is misleading.
Having an image of an act is simply not the same as doing the act. Your logic is flawed.
Think about it logically and not emotionally for a second. If a person has images of adult murder, for example, do we charge them with murder? Of course not.
If they pay money to have a snuff (murder) film made, then we charge them with solicitation of murder. If they simply have a picture of it we would just think that person is sick in the head, but they would not be charged with a crime.
CP of course is so horrible that it's illegal, and I fully agree with this, but the title of this post is misleading. Hysterical mob justice is not what we need to solve this pedogate problem.

In the case of child porn I believe every viewer the same as the participants. Same gratification involved. How can you defend this pos?

No, you're right. Possession of material showing adults sexually torturing a 6 months old is no big deal. /s
