So, the juror from the recent Oath Keeper trial who gave the long interview on CSPAN said that the defendants "Obstructed Congress" merely by being on the Capitol grounds. That was the view she pushed on the other jurors. I don't know any case where DOJ has used that rationale.
@shipwreckedcrew And yet, they approved demonstration permits for the zones on and around Capitol Hill. The map is public information. So this juror is in error. uscp.gov/sites/uscapito…
@shipwreckedcrew Hhhmmm wonder if she made calls to anyone in the DOJs office during her time as a juror
@shipwreckedcrew She saw it on Morning Joe. I’m sure Mika’s said something like that. With a heavy sigh for affect too. 🤷🏻♀️
@shipwreckedcrew The juror created their own legal standard? Does she think she's Pelosi?
@shipwreckedcrew IQ tests should be required for jurors.
@shipwreckedcrew Prosecutors and Jurors have been using that rationale in many other cases. It is bullshit!
@shipwreckedcrew then there are literally 10's of thousands of people who "obstructed congress"... and would not the CPD be co conspirators as they helped people "obstruct congress"?
@shipwreckedcrew @mirandadevine They should apply it to the protest at Tennessee Capitol building - I witnessed people obstructing the police, looks like they were grabbing at the folks the police were escorting, and possibly striking police. Seems like the FBI should be on this case….. where is Ray Epps?
@shipwreckedcrew @mirandadevine If THAT THE CASE THEN EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN KY AND TN SHOULD HAVE THEIR PHONE RECORDS SM AND BANK RECORDS COLLECTED IMMEDIATELY AND THROWN IN PRISON PRETRIAL FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS! But WE DONT LIVE IN A FAIR COUNTRY SO NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN - we SO SCREWED
@shipwreckedcrew @KurtSchlichter So it is the juror's fault? I don't know, but maybe the DoJ'judge should have made clear in their instructions to the jury that was not the case they were making...
