As we’ve reported earlier, this is the most important First Amendment case in the country. The Biden DOJ is attempting to codify the disinformation scam into the criminal code. Mackey’s meme conviction, for which he could face up to 10 years in prison, represents the complete breakdown of the rule of law and constitutional norms in this country—we are in uncharted territory.
Mackey’s attorney has released the following statement:
“This case presents an unusual array of compelling appellate issues. I am optimistic that the conviction will be vacated.”
As we said in a previous article on this case, the stakes couldn’t be higher:
But just like the Rittenhouse trial, or Alex Jones’s case last fall, Douglass Mackey’s persecution matters. It matters because it is the test run for what the regime wants to do to all of its enemies: Circumscribe the acceptable range of activities and opinions until dissent is impossible, and create a few standout examples to inspire fear. The Biden DOJ brought this case for a reason, and if it gets away with it this time, many cases like it will follow. The left’s favorite slur — “Disinformation!” — will soon become its favorite criminal charge as well.
We will continue covering this story.

Mr. Mackey’s attorney Andrew J. Frisch, issued a statement regarding an appeal:
This case presents an unusual array of compelling appellate issues. I am optimistic that the conviction will be vacated…
It may choose to do so on first amendment grounds, or on the government’s suppression of exculpatory information, or on the insufficiency of evidence of venue among other issues. We are optimistic about our chances on appeal.
