Jack Smith’s Charges Against Trump Include Potential Death Penalty
Breitbart ^ | 1 Aug 2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 08/01/2023 6:38:40 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment Tuesday against former President Donald Trump for his role in attempting to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election includes several weighty felonies, including one for which death may be a penalty.

18 U.S.C § 241, “Conspiracy Against Rights,” includes a penalty of up to 10 years in federal prison. But it adds that if death results from the actions covered under this provision, the offender may be executed:

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

One person — Ashli Babbitt, a rioter shot by a law enforcement officer — died as a result of the Capitol riot on January 6, which Smith said Tuesday was the result of Trump’s claims about the election. But Democrats have blamed Trump for the unrelated deaths of several protesters and Capitol Police officers.

No wonder Nixon didn’t challenge the 1960 election.

I think the Deep State would like to get Trump into the District of Columbia gulag, where he will get the Jeffrey Epstein treatment or, even worse, the fate of Whitey Bulger.

“Jack Smith’s Charges Against Trump Include Potential Death Penalty”

Good test for DeSantis - let’s see if a potential Death Penalty against Trump bothers him.

Tired of losing yet? Wait until they either lock up Trump or have him suffer a mysterious death.

America has died. This is a very sad time for our country. We must all take to the streets and call on all of our elected officials both Republicans and Democrats and tell them that they need to stop weaponizing elections.

Well, it only took a couple hours for this to hit the media. I posted the code text earlier this evening and kept my mouth shut, but wondered how long it would take someone would pick up on it. Who wants to place a wager that Bannon opens his show tomorrow morning with a clip of Morning Joe talking about the death penalty for Trump?

Michael Byrd executed Ashli Babbitt without just cause. It is Byrd who should be prosecuted for first degree murder.

[America has died. This is a very sad time for our country.]

I wish I could disagree. It seems the Globalists shall have their New World Order.

Daniel 7:23 says they shall be successful. It will not last. Jesus Christ will destroy it at His Second Coming.

Completely nonsensical stupid article.

Some people must have too much time on their hands.

The federal government has died. The country is still here. A nation is a land and it’s people. Governments are replaceable, and this one is long overdue for a replacement.

“ or have him suffer a mysterious death.”

Wouldn’t put it past them. That will be their last recourse if the prosecution-persecution doesn’t work out. They will off him and let some Joe Shmoe take the hit.

If they jailed Trump, what happens to the Secret Service who is to protect him for the remainder of his life?
