Did Trump Engage in a Conspiracy to Commit “Corrupt Obstruction?
<p>In a <a href="https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/government-wins-another-fragile-victory-for-key-felony-charge-in-jan.-6-cases" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">recent article</a>, Lawfare’s senior editor Roger Parloff carefully analyzed these two recent D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decisions. Parloff wrote that these two rulings are important not only because they affect all these convictions but because Special Counsel Jack Smith has also relied on that statute and its conspiracy equivalent <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1512" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">(18 U.S.C. § 1512(k)</a>) for two of the four counts in his<a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23893877/show_temp-2.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"> indictment</a> against former President Donald Trump for allegedly conspiring to overthrow the 2020 election.</p>
<p>Parloff warned that these appellate rulings are “fragile” because of the lack of unanimity between the exact holdings and because they were “wholeheartedly endorsed only by the two Democratic appointees who sat on either panel.”</p>
