The Political Prosecution Of Douglass Mackey

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Portfolio Armor

Long before the Biden DOJ indicted Donald Trump, their first target was Douglass Mackey, as pseudonymous ZeroHedge contributor Blue Apples pointed out earlier this year ("Douglass Mackey Convicted For Posting Political Memes From 2016"): 

There's that phrase again: election interference. Although the term has been forced down the public's throat, the level of doublethink conjured up about what does and doesn't constitute election interference to do so has grown to such an absurd extent that it would make the Politburo Commissar of Propaganda blush. While falsifying intelligence, spying on a presidential campaign, and politically motivated criminal prosecutions are decidedly not election interference according to the those beholden to the Democratic Party, making memes apparently is. That creed was consecrated upon the conviction of Douglass Mackey on charges stemming from a satirical series of tweets from 2016 in which he jested that supporters of Hilary Clinton should vote by text ahead of that year's presidential election.

Mackey was arrested in West Palm Beach, Florida on January 27th, 2021 -- just one week following the inauguration of President Biden, highlighting the apparently priority mandated upon Merrick Garland's Department of Justice to pursue political opponents.
