This very week as we celebrate our nation’s Independence Day, hundreds of political prisoners are being denied their freedom in the United States of America. These citizens serving prison time for trumped-up (no pun intended) charges, mainly misdemeanors such as unlawful entry (although the Capitol Police held the doors open and encouraged entry) and trespassing, just received some encouraging news. Last week’s Supreme Court decision in Fischer vs. U.S. held that the most severe law cited in the January 6 prosecutions -- insurrection -- does not apply to riots or protests, which means the accusations of “insurrection” have been downgraded to mere trespassing.

House Speaker Mike Johnson will supposedly make a motion in federal court to enforce the subpoena against Garland to obtain audio recordings of President Biden after the Justice Department declined to act on the House’s contempt referral. We shall see.
From Mike Davis, Article3Project.org:
“We’ve had Constitutional Executive Privilege for 250 years going back to George Washington, so presidents can get candid and confidential advice from their presidential advisors both inside of the white house and outside of the white house without fear that their advisors will get hauled before courts or Congress to reveal those discussions, and the whole point is if you don’t keep it confidential, if you don’t have that executive privilege, you’re going to destroy the president’s ability to get good advice; you’re going to destroy the presidency; you’re going to destroy our country.
There was a Constitutional Executive Privilege with both Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon. The Biden Justice Department eviscerated that to get Trump, and at the same time that they put Navarro in prison and they’re sending Bannon to prison now, they turned a blind eye to Hunter Biden, who did a drive-by political press conference at the capitol and ignored a congressional subpoena. They ignored, Merrick Garland ignored a congressional subpoena and said he had a get-out-of-jail-free card because he has Constitutional executive privilege, which is absolutely nonsense. Merrick Garland released the transcript of special counsel Rob Hurr’s conversation with President Biden but he’s refusing to release the tape. How can you release the transcript but not release the tape, so Garland is making a legally frivolous claim of executive privilege and refusing to cooperate with Congress, contempt of Congress, yet Garland is sending Navarro and Bannon to prison. There must be consequences to this. The House Republicans must hold Merrick Garland in inherent contempt of Congress and send the House sergeant at arms to go get him and arrest him and put him in the capitol jail until Garland turns over those tapes.”
So enjoy your fireworks, your barbecue, and your family. But remember those who are being politically persecuted, and pray that our Justice Department will be restored to a fair and impartial system under the 2025 Trump administration. If it is not, we will no longer be a free and independent nation.
As President Trump said, "They're not after me. They're after you. I'm just standing in the way."
