Trump indictment #3: 2020 election & January 6th [US / federal]

[spudea]

[Trump indictments: index of threads]

Today Jack Smith indicts Trump for Jan 6th. Merely questioning election outcomes is now illegal. In 2018 and 2019, Kamela Harris declared voting machines cannot be trusted and to prevent Russia hacking our elections we must use paper ballots. Not to mention the many people that to this day say Hillary Clinton was the rightful winner of the 2016 election. No indictments for them tho...

You didn't even read the indictment did you? It explicitly states that questioning the outcome IS legal. His actions are what he was indicted for.

Yeah that is about the response I expected. Was it also for the half of Republicans that don't poll for Trump?

Ze plot thickens...

I was pondering this last night: what does Trump have on these people?

Anybody else would have died from lead poisoning long ago.

Well I'll be dipped...turns out there IS a law against violating the people's rights under the constitution and Bill of Rights.

But wait, there's more: if a death, attempted murder or sexual assault results, the penalty can be death.

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.

This is Jack Smith's "crown jewel" of charges against Trump.

My only question is: where has this law been hiding all my life, and why haven't a half a million motherfuckers before Trump been charged with it?

In the time took to read the law, I thought of twenty, right off the top of my head.

Well, I actually did charge a couple of "public officials" (a Justice of the Peace and a deputy sheriff) with violating that very statute way back in like 1985 in a civil suit. Needless to say the suit was dismissed and no criminal charges were ever pursued. Imagine that.

He is worth more to them alive. His candidacy ensures a win for Biden.

I cant imagine them not getting a conviction.

Is a unanimous jury decision required? There may be 1 holdout but I doubt it.
