BIG NEWS! Supreme Court Will Hear Lawsuit Involving Unconstitutional DOJ 1512(c)(2) Charges Used to Abuse Trump Supporters After J6 Protests

Good news from the Supreme Court!

SCOTUS will hear Fischer vs. United States, the lawsuit questioning the unconstitutional 1512(c)(2) charges used by the Biden Department of Justice to abuse and punish January 6 protesters who came to Washington DC to protest the stolen 2020 election.

The case involves three j6 defendants: Jake Lang, who we have reported on extensively here at The Gateway Pundit, Garret Miller, who pleaded guilty to 11 other criminal charges and was sentenced in February, and Joseph Fischer, who, like Lang, continues to await trial.

The news broke this morning.

MASSIVE news out of the Supreme Court this morning.

The Court will hear Fischer v. United States, a January 6 case challenging the scope of section 1512(c)(2), which criminalizes obstruction of an official proceeding. Two of the four charges President Trump faces in his DC case… pic.twitter.com/8R8GmudItA

A flickering ray of sunlight appears, in the middle of long dark shadows.
We will see what this leads to.

I don’t believe it has any bearing whatsoever on Trump cases.

“We will see what this leads to.”

You are more hopeful than I at this juncture. Our system of laws is broken.

In the aftermath of the STEAL in 2020, SCOTUS informed DJT that he lacked “standing” to bring his charges of vote fraud to the Court.
The concept that a sitting President of the US lacked “standing” to have his case heard by SCOTUS is preposterous in the extreme.
VP Al Gore brought his case to both the Florida Supreme Court and SCOTUS on much slimmer evidence in 2000.
In my humble opinion, this destroyed the credibility of SCOTUS.
To date, DJT has not had the benefit of a single court in the US to present his evidence, and the evidence of fraud is overwhelming. Just released news says that 20 percent of mail-in-ballots were fraudulent.
It is an absolute, irrevocable fact that Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election.
If SCOTUS seeks to restore confidence in government here in America, they MUST at the very least acknowledge the presence of an estimated 200 federal agents urging the protestors to enter the Capitol Building, and admit to the role of government agents precipitating a manufactured crisis.
Failure to admit to this simple and manifestly evident fact will completely scrap the last vestige of legitimacy in government in the US.

HOLY SH*T: Supreme Court will review 1512(c)(2), obstruction of an official proceeding case.

This is felony used against 300+ J6ers and represents half of Jack Smith’s indictment against Trump.

If SCOTUS determines DOJ has misused the statute...will be a game changer.

My explainer:

https://realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/11/01/untested_legal_imagination_is_the_mother_of_prosecution_vs_trump_and_the_january_sixers_989276.html

This is a day so many J6ers have been waiting for.

Lives destroyed, people rotting in prison. All bc Biden’s DOJ abused a post-Enron evidence tampering statute.

And what will Jack Smith do now? 2 of 4 counts in his indictment in jeopardy. This is potentially more impactful than immunity issue.

Will he drop the 1512c2-related counts? Will he seek a superseding indictment with other charges?

Trump’s lawyers presumably will file a motion to dismiss those counts.

Never a boring day!

Ahem! From the article:

The ruling will also have an impact on President Trump’s case and the bogus charges filed against the former US President.

So my question is will this cause a DELAY in Trump's J6 trial scheduled for March 4?

It just might, I listened to Charlie Kirk's podcast from 12/12/23 and he had on two of Trumps lawers talking about this, very interesting, if found abused it could mean Jack Smith's 2 out of the 4 charges would be dropped and he would be left with a very very weak case if any. I would suggest a listen to the podcast.

Even the ones who may have committed an offense like trespassing or being in a restricted space got way overcharged and overpunished. I’d pardon most and commute the rest.

Why hasn’t Ray Epps been charged for encouraging protesters to storm the Capitol Bldg. He and his cohorts has bullhorns yelling at crowds of protesters to enter the Bldg. Epps swore under oath he never entered the Capitol but a video exist showing Epps in the bldg. Was Epps a plant by the Feds and Pelosi?
