Trump Meme-Maker Douglass Mackey May Get Ten Years in Prison for Making Fun of Hillary Clinton and Her Campaign!
"Friday, a federal jury in New York convicted 33-year-old Douglass Mackey of the grave offense of “conspiracy against rights.” This conviction means that Mackey is liable for as many as 10 years in federal prison at sentencing"
"Mackey made a Twitter meme mocking Hillary Clinton and the stupid people who voted for her"
"One also can’t help but notice that Mackey was arrested only a week after Joe Biden was inaugurated"
"As Mackey was being tried, a prominent Democrat did exactly the same thing and suffered no consequences."
33
IIRC, they got him on spreading a lie that tricks people into not voting. Nevermind the meme was absurd and nobody took it seriously, but that was the angle of attack.
With the precedent set here, they can only get you if you are trying to trick people into not voting or using a fake voting service.
"Douglass Mackey was indicted under 18 USC 241, for conspiracy to violate civil rights."
They could use this as a precedence for anything e.g. - Your anti-trans mem 'violated my civil rights to transition'
I am confident it will get overturned on appeal.
