Special Counsel Jack Smith leaked another report The New York Times on Wednesday evening.
This comes after the House Oversight Committee produced $17 million in bank evidence and testimony in the Biden Family bribery, corruption and influence schemes with foreign regimes.
Jack Smith will likely use the same Civil War Civil Rights Violation that Merrick Garland and the DOJ used to send January 6 protesters to prison for non-violent crimes for years.
Again, this leak was reported Wednesday evening after this afternoon’s damning testimony.
Federal prosecutors have put a new spin on the Jan. 6 investigation by suggesting in a targeted letter that they could charge former President Donald J. Trump with violating a civil rights statute that dates back to the post-Reconstruction Civil War era, according to three people familiar with the case.
The letter to Mr. Trump Special counsel Jack Smith referred to three criminal statutes as part of the grand jury investigation into Mr Trump’s efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss, according to two people with knowledge of their contents. Two of the statutes were aware of the criminal referral by the parliamentary committee of 6 Jan. and months of legal debate: conspiracy to defraud the government and obstruction of official proceedings.
But the third criminal law mentioned in the letter came as a surprise: Section 241 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which makes it a crime for people to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person” in the “free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege conferred upon him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”
Congress passed that statute after the Civil War to provide federal agents with a tool to go after Southern whites, including Ku Klux Klan members, who engaged in terrorism to prevent formerly enslaved African Americans from voting. But in modern times it has been used more widely, including in cases of vote fraud conspiracies.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to D.C. Attorney Marina Medvin in April 2023. Marina represents several J6 defendants. Medvin described the unusual use of this Civil War-era law to be used on January 6 protesters. It’s unprecedented.
The lawless Biden DOJ is currently using the charge to jail peaceful protesters for up to 20 years.
Marina Medvin: There are four offenses that everyone is charged with, and those are offenses associated with offenses. And then there’s a felony, 1512.(c)(2) It’s a felony that impedes Congressional impeachment… It’s not an indictment we’ve ever seen in this kind of case. I think if you had spoken to a lawyer before this happened, or they thought 1512 c two would apply, they’d probably say, no, I’ve never seen a charge… If you look at that code section, it has to do with documents and document modification. It has nothing to do with actually going in and protesting. We have offenses for that. So be accused of these misdeeds. But no, now I don’t think you would be charged with that crime. And then all of a sudden we saw this felony indicted with people just going in, taking selfies in the Capitol, not touching documents or doing anything with those documents. And you have a lot of those people who are accused of 1512(c)(2)s. That is a crime with a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
The 1512.(c)2 charge the administration is applying to all Trump supporters is more serious than assaulting a law enforcement officer. Now Jack Smith is threatening to use this against President Trump.
We really do face evil here in America.
Earlier this month, lawyers for J6 political prisoner Jake Lang filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court to drop this controversial 1512 obstruction charge against January 6 prisoners.

Julie Kelly has more on this DC lawlessness.
Gosh, it’s almost as if Biden’s DOJ is bastardizing and distorting the law to criminalize political dissent and jail their political opponents. (See 1512(c)(2) and seditious conspiracy for examples) https://t.co/QbXAFkdKr0
