Supreme Courtroom Might Resolve This Week to Hear Jan. 6 Defendants’ Case on DOJ 1512 Fees Used ONLY In opposition to J6 Trump Supporters | The Gateway Pundit

January sixth Defendant Jake Lang was arrested in January 2021 and is at the moment sitting within the DC Gulag in the present day after three years with out trial.

In July Jake Lang notified The Gateway Pundit that he’s taking his case to the highest court within the land.

Lang’s resolution to maneuver his arguments to the Supreme Courtroom follows a cut up ruling within the DC Courtroom of Appeals in April.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, two of three judges on the appellate panel dominated in opposition to U.S. District Choose Carl Nichols, who dismissed the 1512 felony obstruction cost in three separate instances in opposition to January sixth defendants.

Maybe most notable among the many affected was Jacob Edward Langextensively identified by TGP readers by means of a number of eyewitness accounts of his repeated efforts to save lots of lives through the onslaught of violence close to the U.S. Capitol tunnel the place Rosanne Boyland was killed.

The cut up ruling reinstated the felony obstruction cost in opposition to Lang and two others: Garret Miller, who pleaded responsible to 11 different prison fees and was sentenced in February, and Joseph Fischer, who, like Lang, continues to await trial.

Lang, who’s charged with a number of felonies, filed his petition to the USA Supreme Courtroom —asking that the 1512 felony obstruction cost be dismissed.

The submitting begins with a query:

“Whether the Court of Appeals erred in concluding that application of 18 U.S.C. Section 1512(c)(2), a statute crafted to prevent tampering with evidence in “official proceedings,” can be utilized to prosecute acts of violence in opposition to cops within the context of a public demonstration that became a riot, leading to so “breathtaking” an software of the statute as to run afoul of Van Buren v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1648 (2021).”

As was extensively detailed in The Gateway Pundit, the 1512 Felony Obstruction cost was repurposed particularly for January sixth defendants.

Though Lang’s submitting particularly seeks clarification in a case comparable to his (the place violence was concerned), a SCOTUS ruling on the matter is prone to have far-reaching influence on lots of of non-violent J6ers — Lots of whom are at the moment dealing with the prospect of years in jail, together with the everlasting lack of their 2nd Modification rights.

The ruling may also have an effect on President Trump’s case and the bogus fees filed in opposition to the previous US President.

The 1512 cost was a singular cost utilized by the DOJ to particularly goal Jan. 6 protesters, many whose solely crime was strolling by means of the open door on the US Capitol and leaving the Capitol after a number of minutes.  It’s undeniably a political cost used just for Jan. 6 Trump supporters.

Attorney Norm Pattis, who, together with Steven Metcalf, filed the petition on behalf of Lang, says the present software of the 1512 statute is one more instance of presidency misuse of legislation as a way to “crush dissenters.”

“We are asking the court to step up and rein in an out-of-control Justice Department,” says Pattis.
