The Biden/Harris corrupt DOJ has a nasty trick up its sleeve for J6 political prisoners…
• https://revolver.newsThe latest move involves the regime's favorite target: J6 political prisoners.
As you know, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the J6 defendants in the recent Fischer case. If you need a refresher, here's what happened.
Lawfare Media:
On June 28, in a six-to-three ruling, the Supreme Court found that to prove a violation of Section 1512(c)(2), the government "must establish that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or other things used in an official proceeding or attempted to do so" in Fischer v. United States.
The Court's decision reverses that of the D.C. Circuit's, which had adopted a much broader interpretation of the statute.
At issue in the case was the charge of corruptly obstructing an official proceeding under 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2). Joseph Fischer, an alleged Jan. 6 rioter, was indicted on seven charges, including one count of obstruction of an official proceeding under 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2) in 2021. Fischer later filed a motion to dismiss several of the charges against him, including the count under § 1512(c)(2), arguing that the statute "does not criminalize the obstruction of legislative action by Congress" and that any "alleged obstruction of the certification of the Electoral College vote is simply outside the scope" of the statute.
On March 15, 2022, U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols granted Fischer's motion to dismiss his obstruction charge. The judge's ruling essentially found that the government could not charge Fischer with corruptly obstructing an official proceeding under § 1512(c)(2). The government subsequently appealed the decision before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
