The political prisoners from January 6th are in dire need of assistance, and it appears Congress won’t be the ones to provide it. Therefore, it’s time to appeal to the highest authority – the Supreme Court of the United States. Should the high court agree to hear this case, it could turn the tables on everything the regime has done to unjustly punish and abuse these American citizens.

Newsweek (emphasis ours):

A new petition to the Supreme Court could upend hundreds of cases related to the January 6 Capitol riot if the Court’s conservative majority decides to hear an appeal from a New York man who is awaiting his sentencing for assaulting a police officer, among other charges.

Edward Lang, who was arrested and charged for his role in the riot after he posted photos and videos on social media placing him at the Capitol that day, filed a petition with the Court on Friday. He is asking the justices to hear his appeal of one of the 11 charges he was indicted on: obstruction of an official proceeding.

The charge in question has been deployed against hundreds of defendants involved in the January 6, 2021, riot, including Jacob Chansley (aka QAnon Shaman), Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and former Olympic swimmer Klete Keller. The charge was also cited by the House committee investigating the riot when the panel issued criminal referrals against Donald Trump. The official proceeding refers to Congress’ certification of the Electoral College votes that elected Joe Biden president.

Norman Pattis, Lang’s attorney, told Newsweek that he believes the use of the statute that the litigation is centered around could upend the cases of “hundreds of defendants.”

“The government misuse and abuse of the federal penal code in the [January 6] cases is shocking,” Pattis said.

The statute that Lang’s legal team is arguing has been too broadly applied in his case comes from a federal law that states an individual who “corruptly alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document” or “otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so” can be imprisoned for up to 20 years.

In the appeal to the Supreme Court, Lang’s lawyers are claiming the other side did not prove anything “corrupt” went down. Many believe the lower courts have screwed this up six ways from Sunday, thanks to activist judges. They’ve politicized interpretations and created a tangled web of opinions and a pile of unanswered questions. January 6 political prisoner Jake Lang joined Real America’s Voice to discuss this promising move.

The White House counsel’s office met with a top aide to Special Counsel Jack Smith just weeks before he brought charges against former President Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents — raising serious concerns about coordinated legal efforts aimed at President Biden’s likely opponent in 2024.

Jay Bratt, who joined the special counsel team in November 2022, shortly after it was formed, took a meeting in the White House on March 31, 2023, with Caroline Saba, deputy chief of staff for the White House counsel’s office, White House visitor logs show.

They were joined in the 10 a.m. meeting by Danielle Ray, an FBI agent in the Washington field office.

Nine weeks later, Trump was indicted by Smith’s office on June 8, 2023.

Bratt, 63, also met with Saba at the White House in November 2021, when Trump was mired in negotiations with the National Archives, who were demanding the return of presidential records from his Mar-a-Lago estate before a formal investigation had not yet been opened.

Bratt had a third meeting in the White House in September 2021, this time with Katherine Reily, an advisor to the White House chief of staff’s office.

The logs offer no information about what was discussed at the meetings.

Critics and legal experts questioned why Bratt was taking meetings at all with the White House counsel’s office while part of an active investigation into President Biden’s likely 2024 Republican opponent.

“There is no legitimate purpose for a line [DOJ] guy to be meeting with the White House except if it’s coordinated by the highest levels,” said former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a one-time top federal prosecutor in the Southern District.

When asked if he believed the White House and special counsel were coordinating the prosecution of Trump, Giuliani said: “You’re damn right I do.”

“What’s happening is they have trashed every ethical rule that exists and they have created a state police. It is a Biden state prosecutor and a Biden state police,” he continued.

The former mayor, who represented Trump during special counsel Robert Mueller’s 2018 probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, was indicted last week in Fulton County, Georgia in connection with attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said the March meeting was particularly troublesome and “raises obvious concerns about visits to the White House after [Bratt] began his work with the special counsel.”

“There is no reason why the Justice Department should not be able to confirm whether this meeting was related to the ongoing investigation or concerns some other matter,” he said.

Peter Carr, a spokesman for the special counsel, said Bratt was at the White House for a “case-related interview” but declined to comment further.

The FBI declined to comment.

A person with knowledge of the 2023 visit insisted that it was “an interview of a career official who was also working at the White House during the Trump Administration.”
