Elizabeth Prelogar, Joe Biden's appointed solicitor general, attempted to downplay prison sentences associated with J6ers convicted of 1512(c)(2) during oral arguments. But did she tell the truth?
It's obvious that the Obama lawyer, the wise Latina and the token who doesn't know what a woman is will all back the government. All of their questions were in search of a rationale to uphold the Appeals Court. I couldn't follow Comey Barret's questions, so who knows which we she goes, and Supreme Johnny is always a question mark. It's a shame since these prosecutions are such an obvious abuse of the statute that the decision should be 9-0 to overturn, but it could end up 5-4 to uphold.
If the Supreme Court does not render the just and legally correct decision then where does this all end? Already, Graves’ depraved mind is thinking in terms of “ upward variance”, “ upward departure”, who thinks like this? Only a deranged individual, a sociopath , perhaps. What will satisfy these evil lunatics? The “ horrifying event”, more than the protest which devolved into riot, is right here in front of our eyes
I wonder if it is judicially sound, noting government's obvious, consistent, Dependable, overreach, to prosecute said government with an "exceptional" degree of leaning in the favor of "over-correcting" governments persecutorial bent?
There is a colloquial two-word verb that I will leave it to your imagination to guess and will not express myself here, because in 3 weeks time I begin selecting my Lamberth J6 jury May 6th for the 4 misdemeanors and realize the NSA FBI DOJ is still "digging through my garbage to accuse me."
Ronnie didn't make a lot of mistakes in his 8 years, but I'm sure this one appointment he would like to have back. Just because he has no desire to do humanitarian work means that you can't either. For those of you watching at home, the charges against the hardened criminal Glenn Brooks are "entering and remaining and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds," and "disorderly conduct and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building." Next time you want to "parade" carry a Hamas flag. That way you will get a medal.
Pat Smith our government has technology to diagnose hemroids on the fleas of my dogs from space. Did they need to bring 18 SWAT tactical FBI agents to get what they needed?! 4 misdemeanors. They coulda shoulda woulda just asked mr to stop by for questioning. My neighbors were interviewed on CBS news saying "I thought it was a war zone!" Divorce papers derved on me, 3 weeks following the assault. Poor wife & 2 of 4 daughters dragged from bed 6am
Home forced sale lost $500k.
SSSS travel papers mean TSA must apply their hands upon your body including groin 6 times sweeping groin for trave nitrate residues like C4 or whatever...dehumanizing & inhumane. They do it in public at TSA screening machine. I flew 20-40 times while under SSSS & have PTSD still from me.
You thing Reagan regrets him? I love the guy & pray for him often. Love my prosecutor Marshall too & pray for him. Only by Jesus!!
You're a better than me Glenn. Hopefully the jury sees it that way as well, and the biased scales fall from Royce Lamberth's eyes allowing him to conduct to a fair trial. God Bless.
Disclosing to the public the delineation between judicial proceeding and government function is entirely material and substantive.
DOJ Graves standard overreach to tell the world that the 1512 legislation crafters could not have anticipated J6 and therefore the door is wide open for any misinterpretation that DOJ chooses to SELECTIVELY misapply - is just exactly what infuriates the Supreme Court Justices.
The arrogance is mind-boggling!
Who is this government?! And how have they run so far a foul of classic common law and jurisprudence precedent in the nation?!
Thank you Julie, no one in the media is even touching the oral arguments at SCOTUS right now. How do the Democrats twist the narrative so many times like this Solicitor General, and actually gaslight SCOTUS. So,we'll see if the court has the courage to throw the book at the DOJ. Using laws that are untended for what the left is introducing as criminal activity is against our rights as citizens. All of them, Garland, Smith, Bragg, and James are pulling laws apart to find some nugget to bring to a case which in itself is legally unjust on its face. Using Enron documents case to jail on obstructing Senate proceedings, while the left is in an uproar since 2020 causing chaos, injuring thousands of law enforcement officers and killing one officer, Lt. Dorn, along with 36 deaths and $2 billion in damages has to be weighed by the Court.
How does the Court not compare January 6 to the George Floyd riots? Why have the federal judges jailed protesters for over 2 years awaiting trial, while the riots after Floyd were tossed in every state where mayhem ensued. J6 defendants received sentences that were and still are beyond comprehension while, the DC courts destroyed their lives and those of their families, to satisfy the feeding frenzy against Trump. On top of jail time, most received lectures from the judges to further add insult to injury. It is without a doubt that the federal judges overseeing such injustice should themselves be disbarred. Last month, Contreras, who has been dictating illegitimate sentences to January 6 defendants like Jeffrey Sabol, a geophysicist, who Contreras recently doled out a sentence of more than 5 years in federal prison. It should be noted that Jeffery Sabol has been in jail since January 11, 2021. While the rioters a year before were charged with violating curfews and failure to disperse.
SCOTUS is charged with upholding the law. We can only hope they will do so in the case before them, and soon, rule against Jack Smith on Presidential Immunity and that is a most if not "the" most important right of a President while in office. If they choose to hold Trump accountable, the Presidency will become a titular head position since decisions made during conflict, making unpopular policy decisions and choosing his cabinet, etc., will be gone, and so is his authority to lead.
So, it is a travesty of justice and if SCOTUS rules against the DOJ, let the lawsuits proceed from every defendant from coast to coast against the DOJ and Biden himself (and, oh, let's throw in the dingbats from the January 6 illegitimate sub-committee).
Parading in the Capitol. I didn't know that was such an offense. Members of congress do it all the time while they're wasting our money-or making money from insider trading. 99% of the J6er's didn't do shit! A few bad eggs but in comparison to all of the riots that took place in 2020, what happened at the Capitol was worthy of a newscycle. You want fireworks, look at other countries where they get physical inside the chambers. I believe J6 was all set up and evidenced by Nancy and Bowser NOT bringing in the national guard. THEY are the ones who endangered lives, even causing the death of officer Brian Sicknick. Oh wait, that didn't happen. Just a lie. His family should be pissed that he was used as a prop for the democrats-even having his funeral inside the Capitol-all for show. He was used.
Back to the free people who disagreed with the election results. Do you have to be Maxine Waters to deny election results and get away with it? When people invited inside the Capitol are arrested and charged with such bogus shit to put them behind bars for years you know you're living in a third world shit hole country. I hope the Supremes (all nine of them), are able and willing to see this for what it is and take all of the manure people like Elizabeth Prelogar are spewing and grow some fact from it and do the right thing.
Once again, Julie, thanks for this update. And, at the risk of being redundant, I can't help but wonder when that Solicitor General attended the mandatory course in Soviet style justice? Based upon her lies given to SCOTUS in the oral arguments on Tuesday, 04/16/2024, she must've received very good grades. I suppose it's almost anticipated that the Stasi-style-Secret-Police, guided by their comrades inside the DOJ, will create out of whole cloth more unconstitutional sentencing for those who dared to oppose the elites inside Moscow-on-the-Potomac. Perhaps I'm incorrect, and with few exceptions,but I don't ever recall so many political prisoners incarcerated in the United States of America. Stalin must be very proud of his disciples...
I do not understand why the J6 insurrectionists did not pull the Capitol's fire alarms, which is a nonviolent and protected act under DoJ guidelines. Had they done so, so criminal indictments would have occurred.
Regarding the Jan. 6 fiasco. I'm confused. I see one video that shows chaos and destruction, and another that shows welcome committees and guided tours. Were these on different days?
No, the fiasco is the video they want you to see, but it is counterbalanced with the mostly peaceful protesters that the Capitol police WILLINGLY let inside who are now OVER CHARGED for things that shouldn't apply. The welcoming video was withheld for a long time not allowing the public to see the whole truth.
No, they were all within 4 hours one afternoon. I can’t believe people are still being prosecuted for a riot. The Capitol Police should have arrested anyone who was violent on the spot, broken up the crowd, and that should have been it. This is an absurd waste of time, money, and people’s lives.
The Epoch Times has a series of three videos posted, with the final one on its way. There are narrators explaining what is happening and what should be happening from a professional perspective.
Pat that Jesus guy seems to pushed some stuff around inside to cause me to enjoy these guys. I don't think it's normal for this. My 1st words to Lamberth 11-2-21 in DC court room 16 (accross the hall from Lamberth's 15) were about his being a Texan, an Army guy, & a Reagan appointee. I said I liked those 3 things. He does seem to be a twinge heavy on J6'rs but he is a gentle & kind man from my experiences so far.
Prosecutor Marshall seems lije a real decent guy. I met him 1 on 1 outside Lamberth's #15...nice guy.
One of things I regret about being banned by Twitter (F the X) is I don't get to see Bill Shipley pick on Julie's (always excellent) analysis and reminding us that she's not a lawyer. (I love fighting his nonsense!)
But I gotta tell ya, Julie; he aced you on this one.
You have it right, but yesterday Ship's substack highlighted even more significant deceit in Prelogar's cherry picked response to Kavanaugh's question.
Yeah, but if you pay for anything, pay for this. While Bill p*sses me off on his unwillingness to see the DOJ deep corruption, he is giving his time to defend many (upwards of 50?) J6 defendants who can't afford good representation. His substack $ all go to paying for expenses and support, a very good cause. His articles makes it worth your $$. Having said that, here's a teaser:
"The Solicitor General saw the obvious need to downplay the significance of the fact that Sec. 1512(c)(2) has a 20 year maximum, while many other subsections of Sec. 1512, and other obstruction statutes as well, have much lower statutory maximums — some as low as 3 years.
In attempting to take the focus off the 20 year statutory maximum — by representing that relatively “short” sentences she claimed have been imposed for Sec. 1512(c)(2) offenses make the statutory maximum something that should not concern the Court — what the Solicitor General did not confess is that DOJ prosecutors have advocated in writing and at sentencing hearings for sentences far longer than the 24-26 month sentencing figures she gave the Court.
The 50 specific cases she referred to in order to come up with those numbers — cases where Sec. 1512(c)(2) was the only felony conviction according to her — almost exclusively involve defendants coerced into pleading guilty to that offense pursuant to a plea agreement where the government dictated the terms with a “take it or leave it” offer. Because they were guilty pleas, the defendant benefitted from having done to the tune of about 18 months compared to defendants who go to trial and are convicted. So her “cherry-picked” data set of 50 out of 350 — the number who have been convicted on Sec. 1512(c)(2) — produces the lowest possible numbers in terms of mean and median sentences imposed that she could have come up with."
Julie, thanks for all of your work. I did some looking back at past events in light of the SG's oral arguments on what disruptions would fall under the statute according to her construction. I think she would have to admit that many of the Kavanaugh hearing disruptions would certainly be subject to her definition, which seemed to mainly require willful disruption of a government proceeding.
Specifically, the portion of the transcript below lays out her interpretation, and to me it implies squarely to these 70 protesters, who clearly planned ahead and organized with intent to disrupt an official proceeding when they each stood up in succession and shouted during the approval hearings for Justice Kavanaugh: https://apnews.com/supreme-court-of-the-united-states-98857708aff04091bb2f414dfdfeb0d8
Here's the core of Prelogar's attempt yesterday to distinguish general protest that disrupts from chargeable activity:
Yes, I remember the protests, screaming, and disrupting of Kavanaugh’s confirmation, in the chamber and in the hallway and elevator when Senators were trying to get to their private party meetings for discussion. (Another official proceeding?) My thought is that Kavanaugh will have that in remembrance as he deliberates. I’m also considering that the facts of the cases and the laws applied by DOJ are being looked at with fresh, unprejudiced eyes. This has not been a daily issue for them for years, so they will have no preconceived conception of, as the SG put it, “the typical January 6 prisoner” in prison garb. I am hoping they are shocked that “citizens petitioning their government to redress grievances were actually treated this way.”
What is really needed is a comprehensive investigation of all parties actions and time lines on the Jan 6 events including all prior actions by government and all their agents so that the truth of Jan 6 and the actions of all parties involved is fully and independently investigated and disclosed by independent court appointed masters.
The deceit perpetrated before the SC by our DOJ in her obvious attempt to disguise the consequences of the DOJ’s interpretation of the law justifies the SC action in expanding their investigation into a very critical political event on Jan 6th buty documenting actual events perpetrated by the DOJ on Jan 6th prisoners from home raids, to full accountability of all government agents and agency’s participation in the events leading up to it, during it and after it. God knows the nation needs to be told the truth by the SC, not just to rectify one of the many illegal acts taken by the DOJ et al before, during and after that day. We owe it to all Americans to see the truth so that voters truly understand what is at stake in November and just how corrupt our federal agencies can become, with crooked politicians , judges, AG’s, some state legislatures cooperating to silence and/or jail a presidential candidate on charges, no one has ever faced before.
One thing is consistent .....liars keep lying. It's all they know.
Especially when they are celebrated for doing so.

Mark Twain famously requoted the following "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." The Solicitor General hit the trifecta.

Here's the core of Prelogar's attempt yesterday to distinguish general protest that disrupts from chargeable activity:
JUSTICE GORSUCH: They intend to do
it, all right.
GENERAL PRELOGAR: Yes. If they
intend to obstruct and we're able to show that
they knew that was wrongful conduct with
consciousness of wrongdoing, then, yes, that's a
1512(c)(2) offense and then we would charge
that.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH: What does
"corruptly" add in your view?
GENERAL PRELOGAR: So "corruptly" adds
the requirement that the defendant's conduct be
wrongful and committed with consciousness of
wrongdoing.
Yes, I remember the protests, screaming, and disrupting of Kavanaugh’s confirmation, in the chamber and in the hallway and elevator when Senators were trying to get to their private party meetings for discussion.
