ANOTHER LEAK: Jack Smith to Charge Trump with Civil War Era Civil Rights Violation – Bastardizing the Law to Jail Biden Regime’s Political Opponents
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 7/20/2023 | jim hoft

Posted on 07/20/2023 8:21:59 AM PDT by bitt

Special Counsel Jack Smith leaked another report to The New York Times on Wednesday night.

This comes after the House Oversight Committee produced $17 million in bank receipts and witness testimony in the Biden Family bribery, corruption, and influence peddling schemes with foreign regimes.

Jack Smith is likely to use the same Civil War Civil Rights Violation that Merrick Garland and the DOJ have been using to send January 6 protesters to prison for years for non-violent crimes.

Again, this leak was reported Wednesday night after the damning testimony from this afternoon.

Federal prosecutors have introduced a new twist into the Jan. 6 investigation by suggesting in a target letter that they could charge former President Donald J. Trump with violating a civil rights statute that dates back to the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The letter to Mr. Trump from the special counsel, Jack Smith, referred to three criminal statutes as part of the grand jury investigation into Mr. Trump’s efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss, according to two people with knowledge of its contents. Two of the statutes were familiar from the criminal referral by the House Jan. 6 committee and months of discussion by legal experts: conspiracy to defraud the government and obstruction of an official proceeding.

But the third criminal law cited in the letter was a surprise: Section 241 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which makes it a crime for people to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person” in the “free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”

Congress enacted that statute after the Civil War to provide a tool for federal agents to go after Southern whites, including Ku Klux Klan members, who engaged in terrorism to prevent formerly enslaved African Americans from voting. But in the modern era, it has been used more broadly, including in cases of voting fraud conspiracies.

The Gateway Pundit spoke with DC Attorney Marina Medvin in April 2023. Marina represents several J6 defendants. Medvin described the unusual use of this Civil War Era law to use on protesters on January 6. It is unprecedented.

The lawless Biden DOJ is currently using the charge to put peaceful protesters in prison for up to 20 years.

FTA: “statute after the Civil War to provide a tool for federal agents to go after Southern whites, including Ku Klux Klan members”.

Still can’t bring themselves to call them what they truly are and represent...Democrats.

“All the guys who were saying “we need a civil war”, “we’re in a civil war” are mad that they’re being prosecuted under statutes created in response to a civil war.”

The continued abuse of federal power was inevitable after the disaster at Appomattox.

And, in case you missed it, the Media is saying that “Xi Jinping wants Trump to win.”

Now that Xi is baring his teeth to Yellen and Blinken and Trump is increasing his lead in the head-to-head polls with Biden.

That Russia collusion excuse is old hat now...

"The DOJ and much of the Beltway cannot survive the consequences of their own deeds if Trump makes it to the general election"

What have these people done, that would explain their bizarre, and unprecedented actions, against President Trump?

Does it have something to do with PDJT having, "caught them all"?

Because this is definitely NOT about disagreements over policy.

What are they so DESPERATELY trying to hide from Trump, and the people, that they would go this far to try and STOP him from running for office?

Have they stolen massive amounts of money? Are they drug traffickers? Human traffickers? Are they pedos?

🤔

Probably a lot of all those things plus some you haven’t thought of. 70 plus years of extreme corruption with no consequences leads to unlimited excess.

This is all immaterial. Only a conviction of insurrection can keep him out of WHouse.

Announce a plan. DJTrump for Pres, anyone else for VP. No matter where DJT is on Jan 20, the Veep pardons him of everything that PM. DJT then goes on a rampage. Use every executive power to shut down every Fed office within sight. Shut down DC. Keep SService and military around the actual WHouse (and wherever the Veep hangs out) and let the rest of DC burn to the ground. Do what the Brits tried to do in 1812.
Reboot. Scatter all Fed offices across the nation and move them around on regular basis. Destroy the enormous Fed gov’mt. Forever. SCOTUS can meet in any state house they choose.

“Still not a Trump fan, but the Democrats are pulling every rabbit out of the hat to stop him. Its obvious Trump has something on them. I wish he would just play the “Trump Card” and put this all to rest.”

The leftists are tripping over themselves to be the one to come up with the most audacious violation of the constitution in their ongoing persecution of all things Trump.

It’s positively surreal to witness in a nation that I had always previously thought, mistakenly, was immune to such tactics and criminal deeds. I made a fatal mistake and broke rule #1. I underestimated our opponents. I never gave them credit for the apparently unending depths of evil they could or would sink to. I miss my old naive ‘self’. I was happier and a lot less stressed out.

Election tampering and conspiracy as outlined in their own “Operation Crossfire Hurricane “, and all those that you mentioned, and any crime committed by democrats, as they have a free pass excuse, which is exactly what you get when government is corrupted.

What makes you think the left won’t “burn things to the ground” should Trump miraculously win again? I suspect they’ll be the ones destroying government, since they’ve proven what sore losers they are (even worse than the sore winners they are). And what would they have to lose? Nothing. If Trump were to win again, they’d assume that their @sses are toast and would act out accordingly. It would be a mess of unrest, no matter what... going forward.

No, we have to face reality of what we’re up against even “if” Trump won the presidency. Be ready, be prepared.

Someone should charge Smith and Garland under that law.
