Trump's Post Election Fallout: Legal & Obstruction actions

Exactly. Trump was a dirtbag when Archy voted for him in 2016, he was a dirtbag in 2020 when voted for him again. This wasn't a surprise.

It's okay to admit that they got scammed. Instead voters like Archy are squirming in uncomfortable reality while everybody says "I told you so". Maybe they should try some self reflection. Stop engaging in politics. Stop voting.

He's a f#&%ing felon now and they voted for him. They need to come to terms with it.

In order to be squirmy and uncomfortable you'd have to be self aware.

You really should feel this way considering he's a rapist, career con artist who tried to undermine the world's greatest Democracy. The fact that you don't see the damage tells me a lot. You really should step aside and stop engaging in politics because what you vote for is dangerous.

And honestly I didn't read your post, it's the ramblings of somebody trying to come to terms that they've voted for a felon, adjudicated Rapist, insurrectionist who tried to overthrow a Democratically elected government who's also dangerously stupid - after being told you were being scammed back in 2015. You're grasping at anything that maybe, kinda sorta will let you off the hook for voting for that. But validation in your beliefs isn't coming for you. You did, in fact, knowingly vote for a career con-artist, adjudicated Rapist, and guy who orchestrated a scheme to undermine Democracy. You have to deal with that on your own terms. Good luck.

Honestly, I've stopped blaming Trump at this point. Sometimes even Don seems amazed people are buying his s#!t.

Yeah, I mean, the shill operation is insane. Trump sneakers, gold coins, NFTs. There seemingly isn't a grift Trump can endorse that his supporters won't buy. It's not like there's a lack of warning for these people to see. The number of red flags around Trump rival military parades of the Soviet Union.

Trump supporters want to be grifted because they've been wrapped up in culture war identity politics to the point that buying Trump endorsed bibles is simply part of an existential battle against the left - and not some scheme for people to make a quick buck. 

 
SCOTUS rules in favor of the insurrectionists 6-3.

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former police officer who is seeking to throw out an obstruction charge for joining the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, in a ruling that could benefit former President Donald Trump.

The justices on a 6-3 vote handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants — including Trump — who have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding over the effort to prevent Congress' certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory.

 
The court concluded that the law, enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act after the Enron accounting scandal, was only intended to apply in limited circumstances involving tampering with physical evidence.

The court sent the case back to lower courts for further proceedings on whether the Justice Department could still prosecute Fischer under the new interpretation of the law.

The statute in question, 18 U.S. Code 1512, carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years.

To what extent the ruling favors Trump remains to be seen. Prosecutors in Trump’s case said that even if Fischer wins, Trump’s conduct would still be covered by a narrower interpretation of the statute.

Fischer faces seven criminal charges, only one of which was the focus of the Supreme Court case. Even if the obstruction charge is ultimately dismissed, the other charges, including assaulting a police officer and entering a restricted building, will remain in place.

The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has in the past been skeptical of prosecutors when they assert broad applications of criminal provisions.

In his election interference case, Trump faces four charges, including one count of obstructing an official proceeding and another of conspiracy to do so.

This illustrates my beef with full on Trump supporters:  they tend to be either insanely stupid or spiteful a$$h@!es.

Not people I want to be around.
