Jack Smith’s Charges Against Trump Include Potential Death Penalty
Breitbart ^ | 1 Aug 2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 08/01/2023 6:38:40 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment Tuesday against former President Donald Trump for his role in attempting to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election includes several weighty felonies, including one for which death may be a penalty.

18 U.S.C § 241, “Conspiracy Against Rights,” includes a penalty of up to 10 years in federal prison. But it adds that if death results from the actions covered under this provision, the offender may be executed:

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

One person — Ashli Babbitt, a rioter shot by a law enforcement officer — died as a result of the Capitol riot on January 6, which Smith said Tuesday was the result of Trump’s claims about the election. But Democrats have blamed Trump for the unrelated deaths of several protesters and Capitol Police officers.

Re the military: we all know that was the point about the vaccine mandate...the US lost (discharged) all the free thinkers and those who would defy an order to fire upon their own people. You are right that we have a lot of vets and recently discharged that will stand up when the time comes.

WATCH MY NEW VIDEO:

Did you know that @RonDeSantis allowed for Capitol Police to set up an office in Tampa, FL for the sake of hunting down Trump supporters who were in DC on January 6?

Florida has the highest number of J6 defendants. The Governor of Florida is now trying to capitalize off of his perceived opponent Donald Trump being indicted over J6.

NEW VIDEO:

Watch this video to learn how Ron DeSantis is an enemy to J6 defendants.

.@RonDeSantis Allowed Capitol Police To Have an Office In FL To Hunt Down J6ers, Ignores The Calls of J6 Defendants, & Said He’s Happy To See J6ers get arrested and spend time time in jail.

The election of JFK was what ended America, so I agree.

What power does the governor of any state have to deny the Capitol Police from renting office space in their state? None.

Also, Obama purged a lot of the officer corps that didn’t agree with him. Look at the joker, Milley.

Everything we’re seeing against Trump now is still the years-long seething temper tantrum of the left over Hillary’s loss to Trump. It will continue into the foreseeable future.

The reason "our side" is not doing the same back to them is because "our side" is actually fighting for and on their side. It is probably a little more complicated than that. But that is the long and short of it.

“Still money speaks the loudest. Keep it peaceful.”

I would also add, as I always do, that people read a Tax Table and adjust their withholdings accordingly. Do NOT give Mother Government and her evil State Minions one thin DIME of money that isn’t already being illegal confiscated from you.

Taxation is THEFT. Inflation is THEFT.

If you get a State and/or Federal tax refund each year, you’re doing it wrong. Starve the beast!

Denying Garland the nomination was indeed a cause for intense rage by the left, but I still contend it just threw fuel onto an already raging fire started in November 2016.

None of the cases that have been a source of consternation for the left would have been affected by having Garland on the court anyway, seeing the 6-3 margin would have only been reduced to 5-4.

Worse. They would likely torture him for kicks. THere is a reason they haven’t assassinated him. They are enjoying slowing working him over...draining him of his cash.

They are working up to a pardon in exchange for stepping back.

It’s a Jimmy Hoffa deal.

Thanks for posting that link. I think people need to read the law.

I wonder if this is why they went after the Viking guy so hard? Being in a costume on a highway....
