So... Trump Admits He Is Now Directly Resisting Funding The Post Office -- To Suppress Mail-In Voting. That's A 10-Year Felony Under 18 USC §§ 241 and 242.


I will make this short -- and direct.

Maybe he --and/or his chuckle-headed handlers -- will thus understand it: That's an on-video-tape admission, by the sitting president, of a. . . felony. 18 USC §§ 241 and 242 provide, as relevant here, that using state action -- including willful funding with-holdings, from the USPS, for the purpose of preventing qualified voters from voting (see pages 52-55 here) is a crime:

. . . .Section 241 makes it a ten-year felony to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate” any person in the free exercise of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States” – including the right to vote. The statute, which is discussed in detail above, has potential application in two forms of voter intimidation: a conspiracy to prevent persons whom the subjects knew were qualified voters from entering or getting to the polls to vote in an election when a federal candidate is on the ballot, and a conspiracy to misuse state authority to prevent qualified voters from voting for any candidate in any election. . . .

[For example, courts have found Section 241 was violated when the conduct included] intentionally jamming telephone lines to disrupt a political party’s get-out-the-vote or ride-to-the-polls efforts, and schemes to vandalize motor vehicles that a political faction or party intended to use to get voters to the polls. . . . In re Coy, 127 U.S. 731 (1888). . . .


That's from an official DoJ -- at doj.gov -- primer on "how to" prosecute election fraud -- that's why I linked to it on the web, not my server. This man is a straight up moronic. . . crook.

Onward -- grinning just the same -- after a bike ride by the lake, with my grown baby girl. Same as it ever was. . . .
