Man convicted for memes in New York

Good day all. The weaponization of the Department of Justice has reached a new low. Friday, March 31^st, a conservative meme creator, Douglass Mackey, was convicted of voter suppression. His tool? Using a meme he created in 2016 telling people to text in their votes foe Felonia von Pantsuit.

For the record, I’m only vaguely aware of the case. I first head about it a couple of weeks ago and a cursory look at it led me to believe that no jury in it’s right mind would vote to so flagrantly violate someone’s 1^st amendment rights. Of course, this is New York and the residents are morons. Here are the details from Fox News:

A self-styled far-right propagandist from Florida was convicted Friday of charges alleging that he conspired to deprive individuals of their right to vote in the 2016 presidential election. Douglass Mackey, 33, of West Palm Beach, Florida, was convicted in Brooklyn federal court before Judge Ann M. Donnelly after a one-week trial. On the internet, he was known as “Ricky Vaughn.”

I did a quick check of who this judge is, Care to guess who appointed her?

In 2016, Mackey had about 58,000 Twitter followers and was ranked by the MIT Media Lab as the 107th-most important influencer of the then-upcoming presidential election, prosecutors said. He had described himself as an “American nationalist” who regularly retweeted Trump and promoted conspiracy theories about voter fraud by Democrats.

This yo-yo was considered an influencer? He had 58K followers and most of them probably were bots or like minded individuals. Until recently, I had never heard of him.

Mackey, who was arrested in January 2021, could face up to 10 years in prison. His sentencing is set for Aug. 16.

Considering this is a corrupt Obama judge, I have little doubt she will sentence him to the maximum.

His lawyer, Andrew Frisch, said in an email that the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan will have multiple reasons to choose from to vacate the conviction.

“We are optimistic about our chances on appeal,” Frisch said.

Right off the bat is the clear violation of the 1^st Amendment. Of course, the Deep State Democrat operatives in the Judicial branch don’t see it that way, since Mackey’s target was their Sainted Felonia von Pantsuit, aka Hillary Clinton.

U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a release that the jury rejected Mackey’s cynical attempt to use the First Amendment free speech protections to shield himself from criminal liability for a voter suppression scheme.

“Today’s verdict proves that the defendant’s fraudulent actions crossed a line into criminality,” he said.

So, when are you arresting Felonia von Pantsuit for the fake Russia Dossier that was used against the Greatest President of the 21^st century, Donald Trump? Or how about all the republican voters who were flat out prevented from voting in places like Maricopa County and other states where the polling places ran out of ballots, or had their machines mysteriously fail?

Prosecutors told jurors during the trial that Mackey urged supporters of then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to “vote” via text message or social media, knowing that those endorsements were not legally valid votes.

That is a variation of one of the oldest election jokes in the book. “Republicans vote on Tuesday and Democrats vote on Wednesday.” That has also been reversed as well. Now if you want true voter suppression, there is that case against the Black Panthers that had garnered a plea agreement that was vacated by…wait for it…The Obama DoJ under Eric Holder.

Anyone who fell for this clowns memes and comments about voting by text is to stupid to be allowed to vote in the first place. I hope the appellate court throws this conviction out and sanctions the Doj, the U.S. Attorney and the prosecutors in this case. If they don’t, then we are one step closer to bad things happening. People are already enraged at what they see as a two tier system of justice and that if you are a pro-American, Support the Constitution as well as President Trump, you have no chance in the courts.

We have been seeing this for roughly the last 15-20 years as Progressive liberal lawyers have been digging into the DoJ like ticks, and using the resources to go after people who they don’t like. One of the most egregious cases was the one brought against the late Senator Ted Stevens. The prosecutors in that case flat out lied to the court and hid exculpatory evidence to get a conviction.

When this came out, the conviction was vacated, however there were no real actions taken against the prosecutors in the case. By rights, they should have been prosecuted, and at the very least, disbarred permanently. What actually happened to them was nothing.

It’s cases like Mackey’s and Stevens, along with the imprisonment without trial of hundreds of people from the January 6^th protest, and now the political charges being brought against President Trump that tell people that they have no rights if they oppose the Progressive Narratives. Once again, the Progressive Liberal Democrats are not thinking things through and looking at what may happen if they continue abusing their authority. How can this be corrected? Shutting down the DoJ, firing every single employee, and then very carefully rebuilding it from the ground up would be a good start.

You will also have to get rid of 90% of trial lawyers and completely overhaul all the law schools. Students need to have it beaten into their thick skulls Sir William Blackstone’s Formulation:

“It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer”.

Right now, thanks to people like San Fran Nan Pelosi, this has been reversed. She recently said that President Trump should have the opportunity to “Prove his innocence.” She has been rightly vilified for saying that an accused person is presumed guilty and must prove their innocence. This is why she has no problem with the hundreds of Trump supporters held without trial or the announcement by the FBI that they plan on rounding up another thousand people for supporting president Trump on January 6^th. Statements like this are what leads to “Bad Things” happening.

Hopefully, the 2^nd Circuit Court of Appeals will quickly dispose of this travesty of justice. If not, then it will have to be the Supreme Court once again slapping down the DoJ for abusing it’s authority once again.

Thatisall
