Persecution, Not Prosecution

More on the Houck case:

The state court dismissed Love’s private criminal complaint after he failed to show up for a required hearing, only to have the Department of Justice take up the case. But as a matter of law, the facts of the private criminal complaint sworn out by Love do not constitute a violation of the FACE Act because Houck was standing at a corner away from the abortion facility, no clients were involved, and the alleged assault had nothing to do with so-called reproductive services. And that conclusion flows from Love’s version of the facts, ignoring Houck’s allegation that Love was harassing his 12-year-old son.

Peter Breen, vice president and senior counsel at the Thomas More Society, told The Federalist that Houck is innocent of the charges and that Love was the aggressor, approaching Houck and his son. In addition to Love being the aggressor, the allegations in Count 1 are also “absolutely false,” Breen told The Federalist.

Given that in the private state criminal complaint Love filed, he made no mention of the facts alleged in Count 1 of the federal indictment and instead claimed he was pushed while “waiting” for clients, the DOJ’s decision to charge Houck is beyond baffling — absent a desire to intimidate pro-lifer protesters, innocent or not. And that was precisely the purpose the fleet of FBI agents descending on Houck’s home served as well.

Go here to read the rest.  This is a nothing burger simple alleged assault case that the Feds have taken up, for purely political purposes, to raise the abortion issue prior to the midterms.  Completely despicable and predictable.  Meanwhile the Feds are right on the job with the hundreds of attacks on pro-life centers:

Domestic Terrorists.
That’s all they are, the fbi, lower case intentional.

I pray that their unwarranted behavior backfires in added fuel to demolish blue candidate’s come November.

The Gestapo must cease and desist.

It is chilling to think that Biden’s AG, Merrick Garland, came very close to being given a seat on our Supreme Court.

Evidently, the lawyer in the U.S. Attorney’s office egging the FBI on is one Anita Eve. She is 64 years old and has been employed in the U.S. Attorney’s office since 1994.

Detroit, Washington, Philadelphia, Buffalo. The list of FBI offices which should be cleaned out by mass dismissals gets longer.
