Jack Smith’s Charges Against Trump Include
Potential Death Penalty

Original Article

Posted By: Harlowe, 8/2/2023 1:25:07 AM

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment Tuesday against former President Donald Trump for his role in attempting to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election includes several weighty felonies, including one for which death may be a penalty. 18 U.S.C § 241, “Conspiracy Against Rights,” includes a penalty of up to 10 years in federal prison. But it adds that if death results from the actions covered under this provision, the offender may be executed: If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person...(Snip)...in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws

Comments:

Under this title, “acts committed in violation of this section” include death and attempt to kidnap that would result in fines or imprisonment for any term of years, life, or both, or sentenced to death. The author mentions Ashli Babbitt being shot by a law enforcement officer and died, which Jack Smith said is the result of President Trump’s claims about the election. Democrats blame President Trump for unrelated deaths of other protesters and Capitol Police officers; some anti-Trump Republicans, along with Democrats, are trying to blame him for rioters attempting to kidnap Vice President Pence and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

Reading the indictments it mentioned "criminally" attempting to overturn a legitimate 2020 presidential election. That sounds like an insurrection (sedition), and by law any person in the U.S. convicted of sedition cannot hold public office. That is one of their end goals. And in DC 9 out of 10 perspective jurors vote Democrat, and Trump's judge has been doling out stiff sentences to J6 defendants.

Look for additional charges that will include sedition (attempted insurrection to overthrow the government).

This is rediculous! From the start the Dems have persecuted this man, this is more like a third world communistic country where the political opposition is jailed or killed. This is what the Clinton/Obama/Biden caball has brought us to. I hope they, and all their minions, all go to hell, the sooner the better. There will be no fair trials because it seems all the judges, even some in the supreme court, are all in on this persecution. God help Trump, God help us all. MAGA

What recourse does Trump have? All of this has been illegal from the start. They are making up things as they go. Trump is being persecuted for things he never did. Isn't there a court or judge who can stop this?

Death penalty? This needs to go the opposite way. These people are so far out of control they need to be reeled in, brought to the taxidermist, and mounted on Trump's wall.

I’ve been traveling since Monday night, so I haven’t had much time to comment here on the DC Trump indictment.(Snip)The indictment may make out a persuasive case that Trump lied in the post-election period about election fraud, and disregarded the warnings of his most trusted and most loyal confidants that what he was saying was not true, but that doesn’t equate to a crime. The core of the alleged crime is disruption of the electoral count, but that took place because of the riot, and Trump has not been indicted (yet) for inciting the riot.

I can imagine the sound of champagne bottles popping from Martha's Vineyard to Washington D.C., as President Donald Trump's haters celebrate this third, historic federal indictment. If only they were able to drop their partisan blinders and see the grave damage this legal lunacy is doing to our country! On Tuesday, U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith revealed felony charges against the former president for allegedly subverting the will of the American people and attempting to overturn the results of an election. Yes, Trump's behavior following his 2020 loss was wrong. But was it criminal? Not on the basis of what I've seen thus far.

(Children’s Health Defense) - A major increase in spontaneous abortion among pregnant women was directly linked to the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in Switzerland, according to a new analysis by statistician and University of Lucerne professor Dr. Konstantin Beck. Beck, a former adviser to the German Minister of Health and the Swiss Parliament, analyzed publicly available Swiss and German data from scientific publications, health insurance companies and the Swiss Federal Office of Statistics (FOS). He found that miscarriages and stillbirth rates in 2022 corresponded directly to COVID-19 vaccination among pregnant women in Switzerland nine months earlier.

COLUMBUS — The fraught politics of abortion have helped turn an August ballot question in Ohio that would make it harder to change the state constitution into a cauldron of misinformation and fear-mongering. State Issue 1, the sole question on the ballot, calls for raising the threshold for passing future changes to the Ohio Constitution from a simple majority to 60%. Starting next year, it also would double the number of counties where signatures must be gathered, from 44 to all 88, and do away with the 10-day grace period for closing gaps in the total valid signatures submitted.

NBC is reporting — with a supposed sense of shock — the results of a Monmouth poll that nearly one-third of Americans think the 2020 presidential election was rigged. And they further reiterate that there is no evidence for fraud. There's no evidence widespread fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election, but Trump and allies have spent years undercutting the election's legitimacy. Wow! It must be so. The main stream media assure us that the election was honest. Yet one third of Americans still believe the election was a fraud. I am shocked, shocked.
