DOJ and DC US Atty Matthew Graves now warn if 1512c2 reversed and those convicted seek reduced or vacated prison sentence, the govt will ask for MORE time

In an effort to stem a flood of requests by J6ers serving time for 1512c2, the obstruction count pending before SCOTUS, DOJ and DC US Atty Matthew Graves now warn if it’s reversed and those convicted seek reduced or vacated prison sentence, the govt will ask for MORE time

This is why exuberance over recent appellate court ruling overturning a sentencing enhancement for 1512c2 was unwarranted. DOJ and judges have plenty of options to extend prison time—either based on offense or “upward departures.”

Make no mistake—this is Graves’ way of threatening J6ers sentenced for DOJ unlawful use of 1512c2: if you ask for release or reduced sentence based on SCOTUS’ likely reversal of obstruction count, we’ll figure out a way to make you serve MORE time.

And most DC judges will be only too happy to comply

The judge in this cited case—former chief judge Beryl Howell, the source of the rot in DC legal/judicial system—recently acknowledged the forthcoming tsunami of court motions if 1512c2 is reversed this summer.

She suggested the new enhancements also cited in the screenshot above. They will not accept defeat on 1512c2—in fact, they will instead punish those seeking justified relief.

Shut down this court and US Atty office. So to recap: if a J6er is in prison now on 1512c2 and other offenses (mostly misdemeanors) and asks for release, DOJ will respond with request for consecutive (not concurrent) sentences and enhancements where applicable on other offenses.

For now, those seeking release under Brock (the appellate order reversing one enhancement), DOJ will respond with a request for other enhancements.

Isn’t that Double Jeopardy. They can’t charge you again for the same crime?

There is a thousand different charges they can come up with for the same crime, it’s just and end around the Constitution.

They are not charging you for a second time. They are increasing the punishment for the crimes for which you have been convicted. Not double jeopardy.

Empty threat. 1512c2 reversal frees a J6 prisoner? This blowhard has to find a new avenue of prosecution, and he knows he exhausted every avenue in either the original trial or the original plea.

If he were to find something specious for a new charge, then you simply post bail and you kick the ball down the field until TrumpII.

Speaking of TrumpII, this arrogant frog would be a perfect test case of reviving Exile as punishment for lawfare.

I wonder if these people have plans for a new job come January. They’ll need it!

Ah... Matthew Graves... Married to Fatima who visited the White House 28 times in that many months.
He also prosecuted Navarro and Bannon.

“According to government records, Goss Graves has visited the Biden White House at least 28 times since her husband was confirmed. Some appointments and events have involved the president, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Democratic lawmakers, and top cabinet officials.Oct 5, 2023”

Is he suggesting that those citizens who attempt to exercise their legal rights could be punished? No wonder people have no faith in our government or legal system.

They are definitely trying to provoke a reaction as they can't wait to start killing Trump supporters.

Jeebus.

These "people" in the District of Selective Prosecution of The Republican Enemy are psychopaths and rabid dogs.

I know what the Sioux and the Apache would have done with Matthew Graves and his evil pals in DC.

And I would enjoy watching video of it.

They need to be careful what they wish for. Those who provoke such things often die horribly and in mass numbers.

The House Judiciary Committee should invite judge Beryl Howell to explain her actions.

I think you need more than exile to deter these types of vile lunatics. Something that brings it home to them that they have serious skin in the game as a ‘public servant’.
