Supreme Court rules in favor of Jan. 6 defendant in dispute over obstruction charge

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former Pennsylvania police officer charged for his alleged participation in the U.S. Capitol attack, saying a felony obstruction charge was improperly applied in his case. This ruling makes it harder to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction, a charge that also has been brought against former President Donald Trump.

Using a statue meant for financial crimes with J6, mostly peaceful demonstration, is sickening, folks.

Your reporter doesn’t know that the Supreme Court has agreed to work into July since they have 11-12 remaining cases to hear.

Does this decision telegraph what decision the Supreme Court will make on the most important ruling on whether Trump has Immunity?

[ginobennett]
