Last week US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court – and J6ers serving time for 18 USC §1512(c)(2), the ‘obstruction’ statute pending before SCOTUS.
Graves threatened to seek more prison time for the J6ers if the Supreme Court reverses the obstruction statute this summer.
The high court announced it will hear oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue is statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2):
Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on Fischer v United States this summer which means hundreds of J6 cases could be upended.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ has charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case are conspiracy to obstruct so the Supreme Court’s ruling could torpedo the special counsel’s case against Trump as well.
If the Supreme Court reverses the statute and jailed J6ers ask for release, the DOJ will respond with a request for consecutive sentences and enhancements.
Now this…
Matthew Graves is fighting to keep J6ers charged with the ‘obstruction’ statute jailed pending the SCOTUS decision because it’s an election year.
“The Court would be releasing defendant into the same political maelstrom that led him to commit his crime in the first place,” Graves said about J6 defendant Kevin Seefried after a judge ordered him released in May.
Add this to the "political hostage/prisoner" files.

Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, ordered Kevin Seefried released in May after serving 12 months of his 36 month sentence
McFadden called out the Biden DOJ’s political approach to keeping the J6ers in jail because it’s an election year.
“Ultimately, none of the Government’s arguments involve any facts specific to Seefried. Instead, they are purely class-based. People who have already gone to prison, as a class, cannot be released. January 6th defendants, as a class, cannot be released during an election year,” McFadden wrote.
McFadden continued, “In the end, if specific facts about Seefried lead the Government to believe that he is imminently likely to engage in criminal conduct, options remain open to the Government. But without those facts, the Court cannot deprive a citizen of his liberty based on guesswork alone.”

So Graves can just whip up more jail time?
This is not justice. And Graves is the one that belongs in jail.
I think most of us share your mindset.
If all issues are reduced to the lowest common denominator, that would be “Satan”.
“following Trump’s re-election.”
As if ...
Trump might (probably will be) re-elected. He won’t be inaugurated. (Pelosi: “You can take that to the bank.”)
GRAVES IS PURE EVIL!! ANOTHER DEMONIC DEMOCRAT!!
Eventually, this type of stuff in going to result in some of these prosecutors getting killed. And these folks have no idea that that could happen.
Prosecution Statistics:
Under Graves, the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute 67% of those arrested for crimes in DC, including 72% of misdemeanor arrests and 53% of felony arrests.
The Dems are always Guilty of what they accuse the Rs of.
It’s quite telling.
What they conjecture Trump might do, is what they have already done, are doing now, or will do if they can...
The J6 committee destroyed records in order to impede investigations of their investigation. Lock ‘em up.
I figured Seefried would be one of those given a break since he is one of the useful idiots the left actually loves to see attending Trump rallies.
Is it true, or not true that there are people in the D.C. gulag who have not yet been charged with any crime?
If the answer is "yes" can you tell me how many there are and the basis for holding them?
the whole dc court system needs to be broken up it is obvious that there cannot be fair trials in the district because of the political nature of every one that works there... people need to be tried in the states they come from, and the city needs to be broken up with the residences picking one of the three states that the dc district originally came from being the state that douse judicial remedies.
Add this guy to the list of people who need to disappear through a hole in the ice...
Our Nation’s enemies are on full march and I feel like we have yet to respond in kind.
She made a similar statement about Trump in 2016. Evidently YOU take her seriously!
Virginia, Maryland, and I guess you mean W Virginia?
“She made a similar statement about Trump in 2016.”
Oh, yes. That’s why I said it. When she said that in 2016 it sent shivers up my spine! I will never forget it.
If they keep ignoring the law, attacking our country, and trying to whip the country into their control, then it will be well deserved and should happen.
was wrong about how many state the district was made fro its just Maryland and Virginia
WV used to be part of VA but didn’t give land for DC. I would rather have a WV jury than MD or VA.
