NEW: As I have reported for months, DOJ is still seeking ways to keep J6ers convicted under the unlawful use of 1512c2 in jail even with the charge being tossed AND that conviction driving excessive prison sentences.
On Thursday, DOJ admitted it would drop the 1512c2 count against Thomas Robertson, who was sentenced to 87 months in prison on several counts including 1512c2. The obstruction count resulted in the 7+ year prison sentence.
BUT DOJ under Matthew Graves is asking Judge Chris Cooper (Obama) to keep Robertson in jail for the full term by adding several new upward departures/enhancements on his other convictions.
Rotten to the core.
DOJ had also added the now unlawful adm of justice enhancement, tossed by DC appellate court earlier this year, to Robertson's sentence.
But now DOJ/Matthew Graves argues Robertson's role in J6 demands his ongoing incarceration in federal prison for 87 months DESPITE admitting without the 1512c2 charge his sentence would be 24-30 months.
HE HAS ALREADY BEEN IN JAIL FOR 3 YEARS which included 10 months in pretrial detention before his April 2022 conviction by DC jury.
As you read this outrageous garbage, keep in mind that Matthew Graves could very well be Kamala Harris' attorney general if she wins.
Graves' wife Fatima Goss Graves is close with Harris; her niece serves on the board of Goss Graves' radical nonprofit in DC.
And as I also have observed, what's happening in UK related to criminalizing social media posts has already been happening here for years to J6ers.
This is batshit crazy talk.
Graves has yet to charge a single pro-Hamas demonstrator with federal crimes--including those who unlawfully entered Capitol buildings, assaulted federal police, and vandalized property.
The DC judges feel no shame for sending Americans to jail on a bogus charge and being overturned by SCOTUS. Instead they are working hand in glove with DOJ ONCE AGAIN to punish J6ers.
Two judges here--Trevor McFadden and Tim Kelly--were FedSoc recommendations appointed by Pres. Trump. He must do better after he wins.
