Democrats cannot rely on Joe Biden defeating Donald Trump at the polls.
So they are relying on legal system trickery.
And Supreme Court Justices caught a top Biden official exposing themselves in a massive deception.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is preparing to hang January 6 around Donald Trump’s neck.
Before Smith can attempt to do so, the Department of Justice has to deal with the countless obstruction of justice charges against J6 defendants who have languished in jail for months and years.
J6 on trial
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar has had to argue before the Supreme Court in defense of sentencing guidelines for J6 defendants, and it is not going well for her.
Some January 6 defendants were released for time served in advance of the hearing.
During oral arguments, Prelogar misled the court regarding the duration of sentences for violating 1512(c)(2) i.e. “corruptly” obstructing official proceedings.
She claimed that the average sentence was around two years, but that omitted key details.
Independent Journalist Julie Kelly reported that “Prelogar failed to tell the whole story. Based on further analysis of the DOJ’s J6 sentencing chart, prosecutors have asked for an average of 40 months in prison in those same 55 cases. For a handful of defendants, prosecutors recommended prison terms as long as 78 months. Without judges who, for the most part, refused to acquiesce to the government’s excessive prison recommendations, a defendant convicted of 1512(c)(2) and other misdemeanors would be behind bars for over a year longer than what Prelogar represented.”
So, defendants “only” got two years because the DOJ prosecutors could not get the harsher sentences they wanted.
Political prisoners
After hearing Prelogar’s oral arguments, J6 defendant Will Pope accused her of lying.
Pope wrote on social media, “The DOJ wanted me to plead to 1512 with a range of 41 to 51 months even though their own prosecutor acknowledged that I was ‘entirely peaceful’ and didn’t destroy anything. Prelogar was straight up lying to the Supreme Court during yesterday’s hearing.”
Tim Hale, another J6 defendant, wrote on social media, “My sentencing guidelines were 20 months, time served. We beat the sentencing enhancements, too. So, in order to make an example out of me for fake thought crimes I got a massive upward departure of 4 years.”
That means a Judge went rogue and added time beyond the sentencing guidelines.
Hale added, “Thankfully President Trump signed the First Step Act or I wouldn’t have gotten out when I did. Not all sentences are as egregious as mine, but it’s very dishonest of the DOJ nonetheless.”
The DOJ clearly is trying to make an example out of right-wing protesters while leftists are essentially given free rein to protest whenever and however they want.
