Imagine that during a Supreme Court argument, protesters angry about the case storm the court building.
Has the court proceeding been obstructed or impeded?
Prosecutors charge that by participating in the Capitol riot, Mr. Fischer corruptly obstructed and impeded the joint congressional proceeding to certify the election, in violation of 1512(c)(2).
More than 300 other Jan. 6 rioters have faced the same charge.
Because Mr. Fischer wasn’t charged with impairing the availability or integrity of any physical evidence, Judge Nichols dismissed the charge.
