New Mexico governor should face federal charges for gun control power grab: former prosecutor
Fox News ^ | September 13, 2023 | Andrew Mark Miller

Former prosecutor Andy McCarthy wrote a column this week suggesting New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham should face federal charges under the same statute the Justice Department is using to charge former President Donald Trump over her move to suspend constitutional gun rights in her state

In a National Review column Monday, McCarthy, a Fox News contributor and former assistant United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, explained that Section 241 of the federal penal code, which is being used by Special Counsel Jack Smith to charge Trump, could be used for Grisham.

"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[,] … [t]hey shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both," the statute says.

I’m sure Merrick Garland will be right on that.

Well it certainly won’t be the Brandon DOJ, you can count on that.

She should be arrested by a joint team from local sheriffs depts and the state police. Handed over to the Feds all wrapped with a pretty bow.
