The word ‘#otherwise’ in the #obstruction statute & why it matters

The #law includes a penalty of up to 20 yrs in #prison for anyone who “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.”

Alvin Bragg Suggests Trump Should Face 30 Days in Jail If He Violates Gag Order Again https://www.mediaite.com/news/alvin-bragg-suggests-trump-should-face-30-days-in-jail-if-he-violates-gag-order-again/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Reminder: Trump is not on trial for having an affair with a porn star. He is not on trial for paying hush money to a porn star. He is on trial for cooking the books to hide the fact that he paid hush money to a porn star, a crime for which his former attorney Michael Cohen already went to prison.

The only way he avoids conviction is if the jury includes one of those crime-loving MAGAts who would never convict no matter how guilty the defendant is.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Western allies Monday to display the same "unity" toward Ukraine as they did toward Israel when they thwarted an Iranian aerial assault against the Israeli skies over this past weekend.

"By defending Israel, the free world has demonstrated that such unity is not only possible, but also 100% effective," he said.

Trump fell asleep at his criminal trial.

Looks like Sleepy Don is too old and low-energy to be president.

A Marvel character came up with a simple potato pasta dish sprinkled with smoked paprika.

It's called Loki's low-key smoky gnocchi.

An old man fell asleep this morning while sitting for his election interference case.
