Federal Judge Threatens to Punish Imprisoned J6ers by Adding Enhancements to Remaining Convictions if SCOTUS Reverses ‘Obstruction’ Statute
The Gateway Pundit ^ | March 28, 2024 | Cristina Laila

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.

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.

US District Judge for the District of Columbia Tim Kelly, a Trump appointee, is also threatening to add enhancements to remaining convictions if 1512c2 is reversed by the Supreme Court.

Judge Kelly threatened J6 defendant Gilbert Fonticoba, who was recommended a 62-month jail sentence for entering the Capitol building for 3 minutes.

The judge said he will add time to Fonticoba’s sentence if the Supreme Court reverses the ‘obstruction’ statute.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if the USA had its own playtime with guillotines like the French did?

Hmmmmmm….

...and we go around the world DEMANDING countries like Hungary, Serbia, Russia, and Israel ‘reform’ their Justice Systems to be as ‘impartial’ as ours.

SICKENING!

Don’t federal judges serve at the pleasure of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Ct.?

They have already neen convicted of or pked guilty to several crimes. If SCOTUS vacates some of the convictions, the judge merely wants to rearrange the punishments for the remaining crimes, e.g. making concurrent sentences instead run consecutively.

Seems to me the judge shouldn’t be able to do that.

It’s a good thing a liberal judge did not see your error. You’d be looking at 6 years.

The crime doesn’t matter to the judge. He has in his mind what the sentence is. Even if it is just jay walking. He should not be a judge. He isn’t qualified to be a dog catcher either.

“murderers in liberal cities have spent less time in jail than the J6 protestors!”

A reckoning is coming.

“How in hell can a judge bring charges against anyone?”

They’re not charges, they’re enhancements to the sentencing options the judge has after a guilty verdict.

That said, I would hope SCOTUS would bat that down viscerally.

"Federal Judge Threatens to Punish Imprisoned J6ers by Adding Enhancements to Remaining Convictions if SCOTUS Reverses ‘Obstruction’ Statute"

And how is this allowed under the Eighth Amendment prohibiting cruel and unusual punishments?
