The case against Douglass Mackey was always a sham. A weaponized DOJ tried to turn a meme into a federal crime. The same DOJ has also gone after January 6 prisoners and President Trump with political prosecutions. Different cases, but the goal was the same. It had zero to do with justice. It was all about political punishment, intimidation, and total control.
Yes, Mackey’s conviction was tossed out by an appeals court months ago… and overwhelmingly, by the way. But the story didn’t end there. In the days that followed, prosecutors had the chance to fight back, to appeal, and to try to reinstate the conviction. They didn’t. They knew they were beaten. They knew the case was flimsy and political and could never survive real scrutiny.
Even so, the official entry of Mackey’s full acquittal dragged on for nearly three weeks. Twenty days of silence before the court finally entered the judgment and actually issued an apology for the delay. That apology says everything about how weak and embarrassing this case was.
BREAKING: After a 20-day delay, judgment of acquittal has finally been entered in my case.
Thanks to all, especially attorney Andrew Frisch and the team at Jones Day led by Yaakov Roth and Eric Dreiband.
The long nightmare is over.
My rights are restored.

Mackey then triumphantly posted his total exoneration on X.

Revolver reached out to Doug directly, asking him how this exoneration impacts his life, his family, and his future. Here’s what he told us, in his own words:
“Although personally satisfying, this victory is for the American people. This victory is for all who donated and prayed and lawyered and spread the word to help win this case. It was an honor to stand for free speech.
After pouring many hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars into this case, I look forward to winning a settlement with the Trump DOJ, which is doing a great job righting the wrongs of the last administration. James Burnham of King Street Legal, who I’ve retained, is the right man for the job.
I’m also excited to announce I’ve retained Milbank LLP to pursue accountability and reforms within the DOJ and FBI. At the personnel and policy level, accountability is extremely important to ensure the DOJ can no longer do to any other American what they did to me.
My family and I are excited to move on with life and to have my freedom back. Freedom to vote, freedom to bear arms, and freedom to travel at home and abroad. I’d like to thank my wonderful wife and family for standing by me and supporting me in this fight.”
What happened to Douglass Mackey should have never happened in America. A young husband and father nearly had his entire life destroyed over a meme… all because the DOJ wanted a scalp.
Greg Gutfeld even mentioned Mackey’s case during last night’s monologue.

And now, with Doug’s official exoneration, the tide is finally beginning to turn. Slowly. Doug’s case will go down as one of the most glaring examples of the left’s weaponized lawfare falling flat on its face.
But this victory is bigger than just one man. It’s about free speech, political freedom, and accountability. Mackey’s fight is a warning to every single American about how far the left is willing to go, but it’s also proof that the truth can still win.
This is only the beginning. Investigations, civil suits, and political fallout are coming for those who weaponized the justice system. Exposing them, stripping their influence, and making them face real justice is just the tip of the iceberg and will be a healing moment for America.

The wheels of justice turn far too slowly
Excellent news. But sometimes injustice cannot be undone. Some of the J6 defendants were so maliciously railroaded into the DC Gulag that they committed suicide. Congress should dissolve the DC Circuit for what those judges did, but I’m not holding my breath.
“Congress should dissolve the DC Circuit for what those judges did, but I’m not holding my breath.”
Good thing as policing the federal judiciary is yet another duty they can’t be bothered to do.
Yup. This administration should reach a very public settlement with Mackey where it admits bad faith prosecution and an intentional weaponizing of government to unlawfully deprive a citizen of his 1A constitutional right. In the settlement, the administration should also loudly chastise the judge for failing to protect a constitutional right.
Aren’t these suits covered by taxpayer dollars? I wish it were only the Defendants personal responsibility. They need skin in the game on such malicious actions
Sadly, the first point is "yes." If the DOJ or US government are named in a civil suit. But if those named in the suit happen to be the individuals who did these things, that's a different ball game. Were I acting pro bono for individuals like this one slandered "under color of law," I would name the individuals as defendants.
Look back to the Democrats' pursuit of Lt. General Flynn. That's a model to follow in the inverse.
He’s a hero for fighting through to an acquittal.
Here are some memes, usually published daily.

Sometimes it’s easier to give a broad range of examples of a thing than to try to give a verbal definition.
In this case the meme was sly, arguably a very well-hidden joke or prank. In general, some of the best memes are high satire.
