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.

“conspire”

Literally, the persons have had to breathed the same air.

Legally, I believe they had to have been planning together.

The word implies an underhanded or sneaky manner.

The cited law appears to be an anti-KKK law.

“ I’d like to hope if Rush were alive, he would now say “It’s Time.”

If it came to that I hope the military will be our last line of defense against an unelected rogue govt.

if death results...

Now you understand the Babbitt incident

Real or false flag, same intent.

To use as last resort to prevent another trump win and/or execute him for threatening their cozzy gig.

They would see that he was tortured before he hung hisself.

That’s how evil they are. They are serial murderers.

This isn't the honorable military of the past. It would be the people against the military, FBI, CIA, DOJ, and much of the police forces in the country. We've set up ourselves for a massive squashing.

“how do we address our grievances?”

No new houses, which are mainly built by invaders.

No stock or mutual fund purchases, which make our masters richer. Without a strong stock market, the leftist strongholds of New York and California would financially collapse.

No recreational travel. This is easily avoided for years.

No unnecessary meals out. They are easily avoided for years.

Still money speaks the loudest.

Keep it peaceful.

The founders designed it that way..

And have been seeding it with commies and purging all patriots ever since.

That option is loooooong gone.

The Delaware Computer Repairman sued Schiff for Saying on TV and in print that the Laptop was Russian Disinformation and the Repairman was part of a Russian Operation, and he said the Intelligence services briefed him that was the case.

Later, when the info was revealed, Schiff was never told that by any Intel briefing or by anyone.

The DoJ argued in the case that Schiff was doing his job (even though he publicly lied) and the Judge removed Schiff from the case as a defendant.

The DoJ argued in effect - Schiff’s job entailed lying (slander and defamation) and they were successful.

Jack Smith looked scared. He’s probably been threatened that this had better get legs because people are turning their eyes to Biden’s corruption.

The mass media might be screaming about this Trump conviction, but everyone knows Biden is the real corruption.

I agree. Today’s military especially the younger ones are not to be counted on to protect this country from enemies foreign and domestic. However on our side are a lot of vets who swore an allegiance to the US Constitution and meant it.

We shall see how all this plays out.

"Jack Smith’s Charges Against Trump Include Potential Death Penalty"

That's their ultimate goal anyway. They'll simply assassinate him if they can't do it by illegally manipulating the laws in the courts to get rid of him.
