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.”

p
DOJ = America’s KGB
Can’t let this organization stay whole, or it will destroy the Republic.
Meanwhile for those democrats who tried to prevent a Presidential inauguration on Jan.20th 2017..........
How many times in the past did the CodePinkos interrupt hearings with placards and chants? LOTS! Can’t wait for Trump47 to return and turn this back onto the extremists.
These extreme radical judges are the problem, never the solution. There should be an avenue for redress. At the very least a way to sue them in civil court.
If no republicans in Congress bothers themselves to speak out about the abuse of these prisoners or take up their cause, why should I?
I write that with frustration, but there are only two Rs that I am even aware of that has even addressed this issue. Cowards.
ah so DA’s can go on personal vendettas if they don’t get their way huh?
A new POTUS and a new AG and Matthew Graves needs a new home once the J6’ers are emptied from their cells.
Political Prosecutions won’t end until there are consequences for Political Prosecutors.
Speeches about Hillary going to prison seem to lead to nowhere but there must be action here in regards to those responsible.
or whatever the attorney is- sounds like he is threatening the SC AND all the people that got convicted of vile retributions if he doesn’t get his way
What a Constitution loving administration this is: If you don't allow us to borrow billions of dollars to give to Ukraine, we will send your children to fight a hopeless bloody war there ... If you try to emphasize the Constitutional rights of these Jan 06 political prisoners we will just extend their sentences punitively!

The judge has just written the classic definition of a political prisoner!
This including elderly grandmothers and even people not involved in the Jan 06 la-di-la! It is painfully obvious that our opponents are determined to win to the point of overthrowing our Constitutional Republic. The people we hired to work for us have decided instead to use all the resources we have provided them to establish themselves as our masters.😬

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This does not apply to the hapless J6 participants/hostages, but it should be applied to Hillary Clinton and the Mueller Attorneys who wiped servers and smashed cell phones in order to impare investigations.
I think there are three, i.e., MTG, Gaetz, and Gohmert.
DC juries are a problem too. I believe that DC is not US territory.
” 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 ...*
You mean wipe it, like with a cloth? Or smashing hard drives? Like that?
“If they’re freed, they might re-insurrect in January.”
Uh, no. They were stupid for entering the first time. Though dull they have learned the verities of touching hot stoves.
The only insurrectors in the future will be masked fit men in khaki pants.
If I can't have a retirement chaos it will be. Why not, living in the eye of a hurricane between cancer cured yet told it's return is inevitable...but am at peak in the meantime with no family to worry about or held over my head?
These people have no morals, ethics nor regard for our nation, just lust for power over the rest of us like the fascists, communists and Nazis of the last hundred years responsible for multiple millions murdered for failed ideologies.
That we see this usurper administration doing all it can to wreak destruction on all that's good SHOULD tell anyone with any sense it's evil...but between the corrupted public and higher education, bombardment of lies and "redefinitions" of morality and even gender from news, entertainment and social media plus the loss of religious influence I regretfully say this generation is almost totally enslaved by evil without even realizing it.
Instead of the vast catalogue of fantastic music true artists have provided us over time they prefer monotonous rap that extols misogyny, violence and materialism as pornographically as possible.
Rather than see the wonder God provided their physical selves they see insufficiency needing tattoos and piercings to shore up their insecurities while those most in need of mental health care are instead encouraged to mutilate themselves striving to defy their chromosomal definition while we taxpayers inevitably finance it.
They've already got our military serving as a machine to surgically process "transgender" operations on our dime while those mentally ill spend their terms of service recuperating then out.
Didn't mean to go off on a rant but too few stand up for the obvious. Blessings and good wishes to you and yours.
“US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court”
The Supremes need to pimp slap him HARD. Also... another Ivy lawyer, 45 years old, no wife, being vindictive?
Sounds like another DC faggot.
