Supreme Court could throw out ‘obstruction’ charges against J6ers and Trump

Supreme Court Considers Challenge to DOJ’s Use of ‘Obstruction’ Charges Against J6ers and Trump

In a pivotal legal battle, the U.S. Supreme Court is deliberating a challenge to the Biden Department of Justice’s (DOJ) application of criminal code 1512(c)(2), a move that could potentially lead to the dismissal of charges against hundreds of January 6 defendants and former President Donald Trump.

At the heart of the matter lies the interpretation and application of the obstruction statute, which criminalizes actions that obstruct, influence, or impede official proceedings. Originally crafted in response to the Enron scandal, the law historically targeted individuals engaged in evidence tampering, such as destroying documents or altering digital records.

However, the DOJ’s broad interpretation of the statute has raised concerns about potential abuse, particularly in cases related to the January 6 Capitol riot and Trump’s post-election activities. Over 300 January 6 defendants have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding due to the disruption caused by the riot, prompting scrutiny over the DOJ’s use of the law.

One notable case involved a Trump-appointed judge, Carl Nichols, who dismissed an obstruction charge on the grounds of misuse by the Biden DOJ. This decision, now under review by the Supreme Court, highlights the broader debate surrounding the appropriate scope of the obstruction statute and its application in politically charged contexts.

Of particular significance is its implications for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s charges against Trump, which hinge on allegations related to his efforts to contest the 2020 election results. The Supreme Court’s ruling in this case could potentially shape the trajectory of Smith’s prosecution and have far-reaching implications for the legal landscape.

Initial indications suggest a divided court, with conservative justices expressing skepticism towards the DOJ’s expansive interpretation of the statute, while liberal justices appear inclined to support its use. A decision is not expected until the summer, but the outcome could determine the fate of roughly 350 January 6 defendants and reverberate throughout the legal sphere.
