Smith had managed to slap Trump with a hefty four-count indictment back in August for supposedly daring to question the legitimacy of the 2020 election results. Oh, the nerve of Trump! But hold your horses, folks, because the real showstopper might just be around the corner. The Supreme Court has decided to take a peek at Fischer v. United States, a case that focuses on the obstruction charge Trump is facing. Oral arguments are set for April, and boy, oh boy, is the drama building up!
McCarthy, in his wisdom, pointed out that the real game-changer here is the obstruction case. You see, while everyone’s busy watching Trump’s legal battles, there’s another case lurking in the shadows that could spell disaster for Smith. If the Supreme Court decides that the Justice Department has been playing fast and loose with the obstruction statute, Smith’s entire case against Trump could go up in flames. Talk about a political prosecution turning sour!
Now, let’s not forget the chaos of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. The Justice Department has been on a rampage, throwing around charges left and right under 18 USC Section 1512(c)(2) for obstructing official proceedings. It’s a wild ride, folks! And guess what? Attorneys for Joseph Fischer, a poor soul caught up in the aftermath of the riot, are crying foul. They argue that the D.C. Circuit’s interpretation of the obstruction statute clashes with other court rulings. Ah, legal battles – they never fail to entertain!
And remember when Smith tried to take down former Governor Bob McDonnell in 2016? Well, the Supreme Court wasn’t having any of that nonsense. In a unanimous decision, they tossed out Smith’s conviction like yesterday’s leftovers. Seems like Smith just can’t catch a break with the high court! Will the tide turn against him once again in the Trump saga? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – the legal drama continues to unfold, and conservatives everywhere are keeping a close eye on the twists and turns of this political witch hunt.
