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.

This senseless risk of provocation seems pretty idiotic and self-defeating

The Rats have become too comfortable in their malicious ways.

But the only people that actually killed anyone there were given medals of valor.

I think she’s all on board given her history with sentencing J6ers. He was nervous. Very. Even a psychopath like Jack knows it’s a weak case but that even bringing a case against a Pres. is unprecedented and PsychoJack will go down in history as being a very bad man who harmed his country beyond repair. If Trump were to win in 2024, Jack knows he may end up in jail—that’s what he is really nervous about.
