DOJ looking for alternative ways to punish Trump for January 6 after SCOTUS ruling
On Monday federal prosecutors requested stays on pending January 6 court cases in order to evaluate a recent Supreme Court ruling that limited their prosecutions of the rioters. On Friday the Supreme Court made it harder to charge defendants with obstruction in cases related to the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill.
However, charges can still be brought if prosecutors can prove that rioters were intentionally trying to stop the arrival of certificates used to certify electoral votes during the riot.
The Supreme Court said in Fischer v. United States that the obstruction statue, under which hundreds of rioters have been prosecuted, was intended to punish people who destroyed, manipulated, or concealed physical documents in an investigation. But Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who ruled with the majority, said physical documents could have been impaired by defendant Joseph Fischer’s actions during the riot.
“If so, then Fischer’s prosecution [for obstruction] can, and should, proceed,” Jackson wrote. “That issue remains available for the lower courts to determine.”
The prosecutors are requesting 30-60 days to evaluate the impact of the ruling in Crowl’s case. Their request for an indefinite delay in a second case to consider the Supreme Court ruling has already been approved by a different judge.
The 2024 election has been over for weeks now, but Kamala Harris is still fundraising.
Despite raising and spending more than a billion dollars in this election cycle, Harris ended her campaign with more than $20 million dollars in debt. Even more shocking, the DNC laid off a massive number of staffers and didn’t pay senior campaign workers at the end.
Now Harris is still fundraising in a desperate attempt to retire her campaign debt and other members of the party believe this is very damaging.
Politico reported:
Dems fear Harris’ continued fundraising ‘erodes trust’
The emails themselves don’t mention debt, instead citing the organization’s support for recount efforts in close races and legal challenges. And the Harris campaign denies that the campaign or affiliated joint fundraising committees had outstanding debts on Election Day, and says they won’t report debts owed in future Federal Election Commission reports due in December.
But the fundraising appeals have still continued, and some Democrats fear she may be compounding the party’s problems with the tone of some of her appeals — damaging relationships with online donors who have long powered the party. In just a few months, the vice president built up a record-breaking fundraising operation. She raked in funds from millions of online donors within the first week of her candidacy, and continued to hold fundraising events well into the fall. Now those same donors who helped her raise more than $1.4 billion are among the people being asked to give more. The emails still come two or three times a day.
This is going to be a serious issue for Democrats going forward. Their own donors don’t trust them anymore and who can blame them?
