JULIE KELLY, APR 14, 2024
EXCERPT: “Three years after Joe Biden’s Department of Justice weaponized a post-Enron statute to punish more than 330 J6ers, the Supreme Court this week will scrutinize the DOJ’s brazen abuse of the law.
In July 2023, Joshua Youngerman was arrested in California on five misdemeanors for his participation in the events of January 6. According to charging documents, Youngerman entered the Capitol at 2:37 p.m.—20 minutes after the House went into recess amid the escalating chaos—through an open door as Capitol Police stood by. He exited through the same door two minutes later.
But just last week, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves added another charge to Youngerman’s case: 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2), obstruction of an official proceeding. Youngerman is one of more than 330 J6ers charged with the evidence-destroying statute passed in the wake of the Enron-Arthur Anderson accounting scandal that Joe Biden’s Justice Department has weaponized to punish Americans who protested Biden’s election that afternoon. The count also is included in both of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictments against Donald Trump.
Graves’ decision to indict Youngerman now is a stunning act of hubris and defiance. Why? Because the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments this Tuesday in Joseph Fischer v. USA, which challenges the government’s interpretation of the obstruction count in Jan 6 cases.
Many legal and court observers expect the court to wholly or partially overturn how the DOJ has applied the law over the past three years in what Graves calls the “Capitol Siege” investigation. (I have several background pieces on Fischer, including here and here.)
The statute reads:
Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
By continuing to bring the charge, Graves is thumbing his nose at the highest court as I explained here. The Joe Biden appointee responsible for dusting off rarely used criminal statutes such as seditious conspiracy and seeking excessive sentences including terrorism enhancements for 1512(c)(2) defendants refuses to back down.
He even opposes the early release of defendants currently behind bars on 1512(c)(2) convictions—at least 100 were ordered to prison on the charge—pending a decision in Fischer. Graves outrageously claims the individuals pose a threat to society and might engage in political violence similar to what happened for a few hours on January 6 if they are released.
Lower Courts Worry About Optics Instead of Justice …….”

And still going after more people. Latest i learned about was a 70 year old grandma.
With all of the things that are going on now with Biden/Obama and president Trump, We can expect to see much more of this same type of thing in 2024/2025.
The Biden/Obama administration has turned the American criminal justice system into a third-world catastrophe.
With four criminal trials against Trump, all with democrat prosecutors and judges, plus the charges against all of these J6 people, the Biden/Obama regime is using the justice system for their own political strong-arm weapon against their adversaries. That includes anyone who opposes them.
These are the kinds of things we typically expect to see out of Cuba, Venezuala, China, Russa, or North Korea, but NOT here in America.
The 2020 elections were rigged and the results stolen. We know that because Joe Biden himself said they had put together the most complete voter fraud system ever devised in America. We can expect the same thing in November 2024.
There is no way possible for Trump to get a "fair" trial in any of those cases.
CNN and MSNBC have already written the November news headlines; "Biden beats Trump again".
And the American people will sit on their collective dead asses and let it all happen.
America is no longer the "land of the free - home of the Brave". Instead we are nothing more than another third-world getto shit hole governed by crooks and thugs. The American people are now nothing more than a mass of complacent servants and subjects. Weak and at the mercy of what ever the government says or does. If you oppose them you can expect to spend the next decade in prison.
This is NOT the America of our forefathers, It is NOT the America I grew up in.
It is said that the tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants alike.
It is now past the time for that tree to be watered.
Am I calling for an insurection? a revolution?
What I am calling for is for the American people to remove these Communist/Marxists from our nation.
Restore America to our Constitutional Republic.
Restore the US Constitution.
Freedom is NEVER free.
Sadly and disappointedly I agree with all you said.
