He made a 'meme'.............................

[JoSixChip]

This is a joke, right?

[Red Badger]

No....................................

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So do we have any “victims” who sent text messages in lieu of voting?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Took the words right off my keyboard...

[JoSixChip]

To all of you that thought it was funny to post that the election was on a Wednesday: DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR!

[Lod881019]

This is the onion right?

[Red Badger]

If people are THAT STUPID, they shouldn’t be voting in the first place......................

[ExSES]

So..., are we to assume that the candidate he was promoting was Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck??? Since the candidate is not named..., I must draw my own conclusion... HRC?

[Red Badger]

DOJ PRESS RELEASE......................

[Red Badger]

You will need a new door.........................

[9YearLurker]

Does at least sound like a bogus claim and offer.

[Fido969]

On or about and before Election Day 2016, at least 4,900 unique telephone numbers texted “[Candidate’s first name]” or some derivative to the 59925 text number,

Did any of those people think they were actually voting, or didn't go to the polls? What was the actual damage here?

[FreedomPoster]

Here's the meme he's being prosecuted for. DO NOT POST THIS WITHOUT A DISCLAIMER, FEDERAL AGENTS WITH BADGES AND GUNS MIGHT COME ARREST YOU! THIS IS NOT COVERED BY 1A ACCORDING TO THE DOJ. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO VOTE BY TEXT!

So do we have any “victims” who sent text messages in lieu of voting?

Probably 500 FBI Agents

[WASCWatch]

The DOJ press release fails to cite a statute that this guy allegedly violated. He is apparently being prosecuted for a crime that doesn’t exist.

So why aren’t the people at FB, Google, and Twitter not being prosecuted?

[P-Marlowe]

Show me one person who actually was deprived of their voting rights because they took this joke seriously.

This is really scary. The KGB in their darkest days would have laughed at this but our “Justice” Department is now prosecuting jokes.

[LibertyOh]

Hillary will now claim this is why she lost. Her people were too stupid to actually vote at the polls.

[The Antiyuppie]

I don’t think that the complaintant has standing.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If they don’t have at least one “victim” the FBI has no standing.

I just made that up, but it felt good saying it.
