On January 26, 2021 – six days after Joe Biden was inaugurated – eight FBI and other law enforcement agents showed up at Douglass Mackey’s home and arrested him. He was charged with felony election interference, a crime that could have put him in prison for up to ten years.
But the alleged election interference had not involved the recent Biden vs. Trump election, but rather the Clinton vs. Trump election more than four years earlier. In fact, the memes (sample above) that Mackey was being charged over had appeared on the internet nearly five years before the arrest.
Despite living in Florida, Mackey was prosecuted and convicted in the Eastern District of New York before two liberal judges. In October, he was fined $15,000 and sentenced to seven months in federal prison to be followed by two years probation.
This politically-motivated persecution of an American citizen abused 18 USC 241, known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, a law which was passed in the aftermath of the Civil War to stop violent deprivations of civil rights. The law was used to prosecute some of the most infamous crimes that were part of the backlash to the 1960s civil rights movement. The Biden Justice Department is now using it to punish people – including Donald J. Trump and various pro-life activists – for disagreeing with Democrats.
Mackey just won an important victory in his appeal, which put a stay on the scheduled start of his prison sentence in January. Connecticut-based federal District Court Judge Omar A. Williams also ordered that the appeal, which he said presents “substantial” and “debatable” issues of law, be expedited.
If Mackey ultimately loses the appeal in the Second Circuit, he intends to take his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. This case is being used by the corruptocrats as a trial balloon. It is vital that Mackey win. You can donate to his defense fund @ https://www.memedefensefund.com/.
