The big knock on the "Insurrectionists" of January 6th - whom people like Lincoln Project founder/DC permaswamp goblin Steve Schmidt have claimed are worse than the purported Islamic terrorist 9/11 hijackers - is that they did something called "Obstruction of an official proceeding," tantamount to an assault on Democracy™ itself.
"The Justice Department has argued that the offense - punishing anyone who"corruptly" obstructs or impedes an "official proceeding" - clearly fits the conduct of the rioters who halted Congress' certification of Biden's 2020 election victory.
Does pulling a fire alarm on camera to prevent a Congressional vote on its "Stopgap" funding measure, as Rep. Jamaal Bowman did on Saturday, quality as "Obstruction of an official proceeding"?
"Whoever corruptly obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both".
"Whoever intentionally harasses another person and thereby hinders, delays, prevents, or dissuades any person from attending or testifying in an official proceeding or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 3 years, or both."
"I want to personally clear up confusion surrounding today's events. Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open. I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door. I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this caused My hope is that no one will make more of this than it was."
He's either criminally stupid or literally criminal.
