As I noted yesterday, Elizabeth Prelogar totally misrepresented (lied?) how DOJ routinely handles sentencing requests for those convicted of 1512c2.
Under questioning from Kavanaugh about prison sentences, Prelogar tried to make it sound like 1512c2 defendants with other nonviolent offenses (common misdemeanors) only get about 24 months in jail.
She quickly mentioned the "Brock" case--referring to Larry Brock, a man from Texas convicted at bench trial of 1512c2 and 5 misdemeanors--and the "enhancement" recently overturned by DC appellate court in 1512c2 convictions.
So what did DOJ ask for in Brock case? Not 24-26 months as Prelogar attempted to mislead Kavanaugh into believing.
NO--DOJ asked for 60 months in prison.
This is far more representative of what DOJ has requested in similar cases. And yes it included the now unlawful enhancement but that was the enhancement DOJ ASKED FOR.
Judge Bates, who convicted Brock, sentenced him to 24 months using 1512c2 felony as basis for the two-year prison term. Fine--but that doesn't erase how or in what manner DOJ asked for FIVE YEARS in prison.
Here is how DOJ got there...by using an "administration of justice" enhancement the appellate court last month concluded was unlawfully applied.
Prelogar forgot about that part:
Further--even after Brock's victory at the appellate court--DOJ STILL OPPOSES HIS RELEASE FROM JAIL.
Brock, who has no criminal record and is a decorated military veteran, has been in federal prison since May 2023.
Why?
Because DOJ considers him a threat to society because he is exercising his 1A rights from jail.
Here is DC US Attorney Matthew Graves just last week
Now with that background, listen again to Prelogar’s response and you decide if she was being truthful…

Hmmmmm? Did the SCOTUS catch it?“
That’s what matters in this. The nerve of these bastards, misleading the SC. There is no bottom.

Law school lesson on Day One: “never lie to a judge.”
All liberals lie, because they have only a subjective view of everything.
Even when they are honest, it is a fluke, because it corresponds to their subjective view, at just that instance.
There are no absolutes, nor morals or ethics, with liberals.
There can’t be—they would then be conservatives.
Every breath of hers is a lie. She does not need to say a word.
I hope her arrogance works against her case.
It is unimaginable to me to act in such a way before any judge.
Unf it will probably be wiped away in female privilege.
Like the justices believing 5000 women died from back alley abortions cannard...they believe what they want.
