What buffoons our side is but they aren’t fooling us anymore.
Are they intentionally trying to lose the House knowing that Trump is going to win?
Looks that way to me.
Well @Bookwormroom gotta admit I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this myself. Kudos for a great analysis.
Jack Smith admits he’s guilty of 1512(c)(2), the most common felony in J6 cases and one that has resulted in lengthy prison time for J6ers.
Time for charges. https://t.co/7ttiGgMdP7— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) May 10, 2024

Jack Smith has admitted to violating the same law used against J6 defendants
By Andrea Widburg
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has just admitted that he and other DOJ and FBI minions manipulated documentary evidence underlying the Mar-a-Lago case against Donald Trump. Everybody from Judge Aileen Cannon on down realizes this is bad. Still, I wonder how many people have noticed that Smith has admitted to doing what the J6 defendants are accused and have been convicted of doing: Violating 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2). The statutory charges against the J6 defendants are a specious abuse of the law but they perfectly fit Smith’s admitted conduct.
One of the main tools in the DOJ arsenal against anyone near the Capitol on January 6, 2021, is § 1512(c)(2), which the DOJ claims means imprisonment for a person who “corruptly...obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding...” That is what the DOJ claims happened when ordinary Americans (a) exercised their rights of free speech and (b) usually inadvertently, entered onto Capitol land after masked agitators had removed “no trespassing” signage and fencing and after the Capitol police had opened the building’s doors. The penalty is fines and/or imprisonment, with the latter potentially as long as 20 years.
The Supreme Court, though, is hearing Fischer v. United States, which sees one of the DOJ’s victims contesting the DOJ’s assertion about § 1512(c)(2)’s applicability to the J6. The argument is that § 1512(c)(2) manifestly applies to a very narrow fact set; namely, corruptly interfering with evidence in an official investigation. Heck, it’s in the statute’s title: “Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.” Every section of the statute manifestly deals solely with efforts to destroy or otherwise manipulate evidence in a matter intended to lead to a criminal indictment.
Nevertheless, to imprison ordinary Americans, the DOJ came down hard on subsection (c)(2) of the statute because it contains the phrase “official proceeding.”

Smith also has blood on his hands as 3 or 4 of the J6 defendants have committed suicide😡😢
The Supreme Court, though, is hearing Fischer v. United States
I understand that thi Fischer ruling is every bit as monumental as the Immunity one will be🙏

@TrumpWarRoom
Rep. @ByronDonalds: These Biden Trials are foolishness.
They *STILL* haven’t identified a crime in New York.
The “Documents” case is now fully blown up because Jack Smith is overzealous.
The January 6 case? Oh, please. That’s so ridiculous.
Then you have Fani Willis down in Georgia—she might get kicked off that case.
It’s all BACKFIRING.

Sad to say the suicide count of J6 Patriots is now 5.
The 5th suicide was just recently.

Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon is headed to prison after an appeals court upheld his conviction for contempt of Congress.
He was handed a four-month sentence in 2022 for refusing to give evidence to a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
But it was put on hold as he appealed, saying that he acted in good faith by following legal advice.
The decision came on Friday.
‘Bannon insists that ‘wilfully’ should be interpreted to require bad faith and argues that his non-compliance does not qualify because his lawyer advised him not to respond to the subpoena,’ wrote Judge Bradley Garcia...
Bannon was one of a string of Trump allies who refused to obey a subpoena to testify before the House investigation into the Jan. 6 violence, claiming ‘executive privilege’ protected conversations and other information related to the presidency.
He was held in contempt by the House on a largely party lines votes in October 2021.....
They can’t silence Steve Bannon with prison time.
It should only fire up the base even more.
Natalie Winters will carry on in Bannon fashion in his stead.
BREAKING: Judges Reject Bannon Legal Appeal, But It’s Not Over…
Former presidential aide Stephen K. Bannon’s conviction for refusing a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee was upheld by a federal appeals panel of three judges on Friday. Bannon had previously been found guilty of ignoring the subpoena but had appealed on the grounds of receiving poor legal advice. Far-left congressional activists had sought to coerce Bannon into testifying against President Donald J. Trump and the MAGA movement. Bannon’s conviction has roused discussion around the potential for legal consequences faced by those resisting the committee’s legislative subpoena power.
Although Bannon’s legal counsel raised arguments regarding the legitimacy of the subpoena served, the federal court found the subpoena to be valid. This decision strongly indicates the judicial branch’s response to the oversight powers of Congress and the seriousness of refusing a legislative subpoena. While left-wing accounts on social media were quick to gloat over the matter, Bannon still has multiple avenues of appeal, including to the full 11-member bench of the appeals court, and the Supreme Court.
Good morning Granny and all!
Oh how I pray that this admission by Jack Smith will grow into a needed prosecution of HIS SELF!!
... oh so sad. Fighting for justice takes strength and fortitude.
This is so WRONG!
...but I'm singing this morning a stanza in " This is My Father's World"......
..........."and though the wrong be oft so strong, He IS THE RULER YET".....
May righteousness PREVAIL.
Have a great day!

Steve Bannon is heading to JAIL as appeals court upholds his conviction for defying the January 6 committee subpoena
😡😢TOUGH heartbreaking news, Jane!!! Didn’t realize that this was so imminent. Sounds like Steve has run out of time and options to appeal. Will keep him in my prayers, along with Peter Navarro.🙏
Hard to imagine losing Steve’s vital voice during the THROES of the final campaign months; I don’t know if Natalie Winters is ready to hold down the fort almost full time.
Me too, pollywog.
It’s time that the law comes back to bite those who have misused and really broken it.
Jack Smith in an orange jumpsuit would be a nice look, don’t you think?
Good morning to you, pollywog!

Elon calls out the DNC for using illegals to win elections 👀
What used to be considered a far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, is now widely accepted as a reality.
The world can now see why the Dems are so in favor of an open border. It’s not about humanity. It’s about power.

We are so ready for this NJ Trump Rally.
However, I have to admit yesterday was a very good day in court for Trump.
The whole week has been very good as lawfare continues to FAIL epically.
Not so fast, edie.
Read my post #1669.
Bannon is not out of options to keep him out of jail yet.
