So the Michael Popoc, Legal A.F. We're watching the Department of Justice adjust their tactics on how to deal with obstruction of an official proceeding to use it 28 U.S.C. 1512 B1 to use that statute which was one of their big parts of their arsenal against Jan 6 insurrectionist against Donald Trump how to use it

since the June decision in US versus Fisher,

in which the United States Supreme Court said you basically can't use that

unless you have some sort of actual fake evidence being used in the certification process.

That opened up two avenues.

One of them has to do with Donald Trump, I'll talk about here,

and the other one has to do with all the other Jan six defendants, including ones that just got sentenced,

including Michael Sparks, who has the infamy of being the first Jan 6th insurrectionist to go through

the window into the capital, leading the mass chaos behind him,

and he just got sentenced to 53 months in jail, well above what even the US probation Department recommended to the judge, Judge Tim Kelly,

a Republican appointment. How is the Department of Justice handling the cards they've been dealt

by the United States Supreme Court in their

63 decision. In that decision they said even though the expressed language of

the statute that was passed by Congress in 2002, even though it says literally that somebody who did exactly what the Jan 6th

insurrectionist did, which was tried to obstruct the official proceeding of the certification

and the count of the Jan six certificates,

even though that literally is what it says, that's not what it meant.

Supreme Court said, you could only use it in a similar destruction of evidence type role. So if you don't have the facts that support

destruction of the actual physical certificates, although we all know that's what the

Jan 6th insurrectionists are trying to do, they were trying to hang

Lynch in an angry mob and burn down the capital and stop the count.

That was the purpose of being there, but not to this United States Supreme Court, which sits in some hermetically sealed right-all right-wing ivory tower.
