Jack Smith Suggests He Will Ignore Supreme Court if it Reverses ‘Obstruction’ Statute

Special Counsel Jack Smith suggested he ignore the Supreme Court if it reverses the obstruction statute this summer.

The US Supreme Court recently announced it will hear oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue is statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2):

Whoever corruptly—

(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or

(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on Fischer v United States this summer which means hundreds of J6 cases could be upended.

Biden’s corrupt DOJ has charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case are conspiracy to obstruct so the Supreme Court’s ruling could torpedo the special counsel’s case against Trump as well.

Jack Smith suggested he will find a workaround if the Supreme Court reverses two of the charges against Trump.

Smith claims the ‘obstruction’ charges will still stand against Trump because the alternative electoral certificates represent “documents” that were fraudulently used in an “official proceeding.”

These papers weren’t even sent or signed by Trump!

Excerpt from The Federalist:

A decision in Fischer’s favor would seemingly negate the two 1512(c)-related charges against Trump and “upend hundreds of charges filed by federal prosecutors against those present at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot,” according to Justice.

In an apparent attempt to sidestep such a ruling, however, Smith argued in his Monday brief that even if SCOTUS deems the DOJ’s use of 1512(c)(2) unlawful, the related charges filed against Trump should still stand because Trump somehow impaired evidence for use in an official proceeding.

“Petitioner asserts … that the grant of review in Fischer v. United States … suggests that the Section 1512(c)(2) charges here impermissibly stretch the statute. But whether the Court interprets Section 1512(c)(2) consistently with a natural reading of its text or adopts the evidence-impairment gloss urged by the petitioner in Fischer, the Section 1512 charges in this case are valid,” Smith wrote, additionally claiming that “the use of falsehoods or creation of ‘false’ documents satisfies an evidence-impairment interpretation.”

Jack Smith isn’t the only one who is threatening to circumvent the Supreme Court.

Last month US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court – and J6ers serving time for 18 USC §1512(c)(2), the ‘obstruction’ statute pending before SCOTUS.

Will Jackass Smith ignore it when someone comes to make him into a lamppost decoration?

[PGR88]

Jack Smith’s argument: The intel and DC deep-state are the highest executive power of the USA. Our random and political designations and proclamations are the final law of the land

[Regulator]

Mad Jack the Grand Inquisitor now preens and declares himself the ultimate arbiter of the law

When will Little Jonny Roberts bow down to him?

[blackdog]

The left basically said they had no regard for our constitutional system of checks and balances when first the Hillary 800 Raw FBI files were taken by her for weaponization against her colleagues, and then when Fast and Furious was launched, and again in Crossfire Hurricane.

Same with the Federal Reserve. They are purely political now. Powell even admits it. We are in very deep poop right now.

[DeplorablePaul]

Both Graves and Jack Off Smith should be persecuted for prosecutor misconduct.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

seems to be SOP for the chyna joe/hussein cabal & their apparatchiks.

F the constitution & middle finger salute to the SCOTUS

[Singermom]

So Jack Smith is a SCOTUS DENIER? Shame on him.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Kabuki theatre at its finest. 😏

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t think this guy is sane.

[butlerweave]

so there’s no point , well grab Trump and drag him off to prison but watch out for the baseball bat

[frank ballenger]

Laws are for the little, powerless people. Not the ruling elites.

[griswold3]

Rubicon crossed?

[frank ballenger]

If that happens please remember to mail me a message.

I love lamp post decorations like around Christmas or for history celebrations.

Hope I don’t miss the “swingers” someday.

[Singermom]

So Jack Smith is the new LAW OF THE LAND? Arrogant dems think THEY are gods.

That is exactly what the want. They need a "White Nationalist" MAGA supporter to do something stupid so they can declare martial law and permanently cancel the election.

[cowboyusa]

Helocpter rides.

[RoseofTexas]

If he does, then all bets are off the table! Why should we even obey the laws on the books? If the scumbags can do whatever they please why should we the American citizens obey the written laws? They are destroying the fabric of the American laws which have kept the people in check and once that goes over the cliff all hell will break loose.

[Vaduz]

Something tells me it’s going to be a hell of price for the left to pay being above the law.

Even communists outside of the country don’t stand for it to many hands in the pot of gold.

[small farm girl]

Why not ignore the SC? The entire admin does 😡
