      You just haven’t realized it until recently when it has become a hot topic and now it is easier to blame Republicans, but overlook everything else.

      They’ve been more shameless about it. As in this case, where they’re pretending that obstructing a government proceeding applies only to documents, and where you’re pretending that anything other than ignoring the statute entirely requires enshrining guilt by association into law.

          I’m not sure how or whether you gather that they are pretending that obstructing a government proceeding only applies to documents

          Because I actually read the article instead of immediately being like “buh whuubut BLM?!??!?!”

              It’s in the article that you ignored because you’d rather demonize BLM. Don’t bother me again.

                  Not it isn’t

                  From the article you will never read:

                  His attorney argues that Congress intended the obstruction law to apply only to instances where defendants tampered with physical evidence, such as destroying or forging documents used in proceedings.

                  The court is sympathetic to this bullshit argument. Since it’s not demonizing black people, you ignored it.

                  Have a good pipedream

                  Expecting you to quit whatabouting for Trump’s inbred violent minions is a bit of an unrealistic expectation, yes.
