Back during the 2016 election, he reposted a few some memes regarding Felonia von Pantsuit. As you would expect, Felonia von Pantsuit took offense. However, she lost the election and the Trump DoJ ignored it. However, thanks to the Tainted Election of 2020 and Merrick Garland becoming Attorney General, and his weaponizing the DoJ against all enemies of the Democrat Party, Joe Biden and the Democrat elite, Douglas Mackey was charged and convicted for daring to exercise his 1<sup>st<\/sup> Amendment rights. Now, thanks to a successful appeal, his conviction hs been thrown out. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/09\/1-million-and-9-years-later-court-tosses-conviction-of-man-who-tweeted-hillary-meme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Here are the details from the Federalist<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>D<\/b><b>ouglass Mackey, the man <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/10\/18\/viral-meme-maker-who-joked-about-hillary-clinton-sentenced-to-7-months-in-prison-for-election-interference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sentenced<\/a> to seven months in federal prison for reposting some Hillary Clinton-themed memes in 2016, told The Federalist it \u201cfeels incredible\u201d to learn his conviction has been vacated and he will be acquitted.

Reviewing the details, it was a blatant assault on Mr. Mackey\u2019s constitutional rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>It is a victory for free speech, and yet another sickening reminder of how, under former President Joe \u201cAutopen\u201d Biden, the Department of Justice (DOJ) spent much of its time going after average citizens for political speech, such as Catholics, Trump supporters, parents at school board meetings, and pro-lifers, as my colleague Brianna Lyman <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/02\/heres-who-bidens-fbi-decided-to-persecute-rather-than-hunt-down-real-terrorists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously reported<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Looking back, it\u2019s terrifying how close we came to the institution of a full blown police state. Garland and Wray\u2019s actions came close to causing really bad things to happen. People, and not the whackos, were starting to consider that it might be time to fire on Federal agents, especially the FBI. (Most people still want the FBI disbanded) Now here are the details on how this nightmare started.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The DOJ charged Mackey in 2021 \u2014 five years after he posted the memes \u2014 with a post-Civil War era law, Conspiracy Against Rights (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/crt\/statutes-enforced-criminal-section\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">18 U.S. Code \u00a7 241<\/a>), which can lead up to 10 years in prison. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>To say this was a stretch is a classic understatement.

Anyone with two functioning brain cells would know that this was a load of horseshit. (Well that does let out most Democrats.
