18 U.S. Code § 1512

Yeah, there were around 300 arrested during the Kavanaugh hearings, no one was charged with interfering with an official proceeding. And the double standard doesn't seem to bother you commies one bit.

.
That's because you're pathetically comparing this...



... and this ...



with this ...



... and this ...



The former, a 30 second disruption as a non-violent protester was being arrested... the latter a 4 hour delay of the law being executed as all of Congress had to be evacuated to avoid being harmed or killed by a violent mob storming the Capitol.

Show me where the law makes that distinction.

The distinction is the disruption to arrest someone at the hearing didn't obstruct the Senate from executing the law. Not a single Senator had to get up from their seat. Whereas Insurrection Day led to Congress being obstructed for 6 hours after having to evacuate the entire Congress. Also, unlike Insurrection Day, there was no threat of violence with the Kavanaugh hearings.

So the distinction is in your pathetic little brain and only perceived political enemies are to be held to account. GOT IT!!!!!!!!!

The difference is arrests were made in both situations. However since the Kavanaugh protests were non-violent the charges filed against them were for lesser crimes.

In the case of the insurrection where the purpose of those breaking into the capital (Kavanaugh protesters didn't break in) was to threaten Congress to overturn an election. Cops were beaten up, the Capital and many Congress members' offices were vandalized and there were loud verbal threats to assassinate at least one politician if he didn't perform actions to satiate their moronic conspiracy theories.

What do you think should of happened to anyone who verbally threatened Trump's life while he was in office?

Nothing happened to several lawmakers and others that openly threatened Trump.
 
This appears to be the new shiny new thing pushed by the Committee after they got caught doctoring evidence.
 

(c) Whoever corruptly

(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or​

(2) otherwise 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.



(a) As used in sections 1512 and 1513 of this title and in this section—
(1) the term “official proceeding” means—​
(A) a proceeding before a judge or court of the United States, a United States magistrate judge, a bankruptcy judge, a judge of the United States Tax Court, a special trial judge of the Tax Court, a judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims, or a Federal grand jury;​

(B) a proceeding before the Congress;

(C) a proceeding before a Federal Government agency which is authorized by law; or​

(D) a proceeding involving the business of insurance whose activities affect interstate commerce before any insurance regulatory official or agency or any agent or examiner appointed by such official or agency to examine the affairs of any person engaged in the business of insurance whose activities affect interstate commerce;​


The 1512 statute has been used against a lot of the insurrectionists:


At issue is a statute the Justice Department has employed against at least 235 defendants accused of corruptly disrupting Congress’s certification of the 2020 electoral-college vote.

Prosecutors have brought the obstruction charge in many of the most notorious cases, including against members of the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and Three Percenters groups who allegedly conspired and prepared in advance for violence. The government has also leveled the charge against scores of individuals not accused of attacking police or destroying property but facing some of the most egregious allegations — such as occupying the Senate chamber, sitting in the vice president’s chair and targeting government officials.



But wait, it gets more interesting.

After reading the texts sent to Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows from members of Congress, Fox News celebrities, and Don Jr (which I'm sure you all heard about), Liz Cheney then asked this very tantalizing question in regard to Trump's inaction for over three hours to stop the insurrection:

"Did Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’s official proceeding to count electoral votes?”

Notice how she worded that question.
 
Why? I already know Schiff didn't alter the original email. He was sent a copy of the original, then made his own copy which he altered.
WTF?

So he made a copy, altered it, and used the altered evidence in the commission. But you claim he did nothing wrong because he didn't alter the "original email"? :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :cuckoo: :cuckoo:

Pretty sure that defense would get you laughed out of court, Halfwit.
