Matthew 27:26 said "they asked for Barabbas to be released". In John 18:40 we learn that "Barabbas had taken part in a rebellion".
In other words, the crowd called out for the release of Barabbas, a thug, but this is believed to be because of a paid "claque" salted into the crowd by the High Priest, which skillfully brought the crowd to a frenzy for the release of Barabbas.

Pilates did not think that Jesus was a threat. He tried to save Jesus by using a custom of releasing one prisoner for Passover (a Jewish festival). He brought Barabbas, a criminal and told the crowd to choose between him and Jesus. The crowd demanded Barabbas to be freed and Jesus to be crucified.
