New in PJ Media:
From the beginning, the Biden regime has wanted to render Donald Trump politically dead. Now they’ve opened the possibility of death of a more physical variety. With their latest kangaroo court charges, their bête noire now faces the death penalty. Yes, that’s right: drug dealers, murderers, and rapists walk free in blue cities all the time, but a former president and current presidential candidate who dares to stand up to the political and media elites could now get the big sleep.
It has been clear from the beginning that the indictments of Donald Trump are brazenly political, designed to discredit the Biden regime’s principal political opponent to the extent that he either cannot run again in 2024 or is so tainted in the eyes of the American people that it doesn’t matter whether he runs or not. A principal part of this strategy has been to exaggerate misdemeanor charges into felonies and split what would in ordinary circumstances have been one charge into many, such that Trump has now been charged with no fewer than seventy-eight felonies that could get him hundreds of years in prison. Or even, now, execution.
Breitbart reported Tuesday that “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.”
That one would be 18 U.S.C § 241, “Conspiracy Against Rights,” one of the most absurd aspects of this entire ridiculous indictment. The Washington Post explains that this statute was “originally adopted as part of the Enforcement Act of 1870. It was the first in a series of measures known as the Ku Klux Klan Acts designed to protect rights guaranteed by the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, collectively called the Reconstruction Amendments.” Why is Trump being charged under an anti-KKK law? Well, because he is America’s number one racist in the eyes of the Left, of course, so as far as Smith and his henchmen are concerned, the optics are good here. The idea is that Trump somehow hindered people’s right to vote by contesting the veracity of the 2020 election. No, it doesn’t make any sense to me, either.
This law was clearly designed to go after Klansmen who acted to prevent free black men from exercising the right to vote during the Reconstruction era. It calls for fines or up to ten years in prison “if two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

“This law ….calls for fines or up to ten years in prison “if two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person ……in the free exercise…. of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution…”

So any of the thousands of Democrat campaign workers who engaged in vote-harvesting, fraudulent voting, impersonation, bussing-in of out-of-state voters, destruction of ballot slips, mis-counting of votes, keeping polls open until they’d completed enough blank forms to out-weigh the Republican vote, prevented poll-watchers from doing their job etc etc – may now be going to prison? Didn’t think so…

Very insightful and damning, Copson. Bravo.

The Demonrats are soiling their underwear at the thought of DT running in the next election. They are coming up with increasingly fatuous things to charge him with. His supporters will not be fooled by the obvious dirty tricks campaign

For four years democrat party representatives, elected and un-elected, conducted a seditious conspiracy to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States, President Trump. We dont have enough rope to hang them all.

Precisely. I was watching Rob Schmitt last night on Newsmax, and he played a montage of people in previous cycles, starting in 2016, doing a lot of things:
‣ Hollywood actors appealing to Republican electors to flip their votes despite the people of their states voting for Trump
‣ Hillary Clinton’s statements about Trump’s legitimacy
‣ Statements of various Dems questioning Trump’s legitimacy and the election results
If they wanna execute Trump, they had better make all those other cases retroactive as well! Incidentally, first they’d have to yank his Secret Service coverage, and then arrest him. Have they even begun to think of what a precedent that might set? They never do, but I can see a future America-First president having the clearances of Obama & Bush yanked completely, & then going after them on treason charges, which have a lot more substance than Trump did
tgusa says
Yes sir. The reason they are after President Trump is for reasons like this,

They are all in on it in one way or another and have been for a long time.. The democrat party, traitors all.
Absent the gallows this comes to mind,

I watched Glenn Beck last night. He laid it all out; made it clear just **who** has committed treason; just **who** has interfered with the right to vote and cheated the citizens. He used their own words to show how they have planned and committed fraud to sit in the seats of power.
Mr. Trump and his attorneys should demand a change of venue for any trials….not in dc should they be.
tgusa says
It is very disturbing who biden and the demrats are trotting out to do their dirty work in going after President Trump. Demrats think that by doing this if anyone objects they can call them racists or anti-semites. The rats think they have some good ole human shields but many of us are done with that crap. The truth is the truth.
The DC judge, Chutkan, was born in 1962 in Kingston, Jamaica. Just what I would expect coming from demrats. This judge is presiding over our natural born American President. That is an outrage.
somehistory says
Appointed by bo…a total non-citizen, a mozlum interloper,…and she worked for the same law firm as did hunter biden….at the same time, and did work for burisma lobby.
If she was “honest” as someone claimed, she would recuse herself.
Pray Hard says
There was a line from a movie or TV show, maybe “Justified”, where the bad guy tells the good guy that he’s going to die and the good guy says, “Well, somebody is” …
I don’t remember that exactly, but it’s close.
Kepha says
Conspiracy against Rights–hmmm. Maybe we Christians ought to complain about this a lot against LGBTQ activists, college administrations, media, politicians…..

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
somehistory says
biden on video saying he had not done anything, had no part, regarding the indictment against trump, saying, “I’m honest.”
However, the nyt said differently. sources said he wanted charges brought re: jan 6
