Clarence Thomas is BACK at SCOTUS and He is Already Dropping the Hammer on Major J6 Case The critical J6 case of Fischer vs. United States is underway at the Supreme Court. One Justice who is back after a 'mysterious' absence on Monday, Clarence Thomas, asked the first question. "The question is whether the second part--very vague--is tied or independent of the first part: 'alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, with the intent to impair the object's integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding'," @julie_kelly2 notes. The felony "obstruction of an official proceeding" charge has been applied to hundreds of J6 cases, despite the lack of precedent. The 1512(c)(2) obstruction of an official proceeding statute typically applies to cases where a corporation destroys documents related to an ongoing court case. If the Supreme Court removes the obstruction of an official proceeding charge from January 6 cases, D.C. circuit judges have promised to issue more severe sentencing guidelines to make up for the removed charge.
@kylenabecker The outcome of today's hearing will determine whether charges can stand against those involved, including the biased political prosecution of Donald Trump.
@LeanRight6 @kylenabecker No, it only determines whether one specific charge can be used against the J6 defendants. And the court will apply stiffer sentencing on the remaining charges if that charge is removed.
