Video DOJ Used to Prosecute Pro-Lifer Is Released – and They Have Some Explaining to Do

Mark Houck was awarded the Monday Prize by the Best news of his entire life After a jury found him not guilty of the FACE Act charges, he was released from prison. For shoving in a Planned Parenthood activist, the pro-life activist could face up to 11 years imprisonment “escort” He had verbally accosted his child.

Several others still face charges under the clearly unconstitutional FACE Act. This infringes upon the right to free speech to provide protections for abortion mills and infringes the right to free speech. In Houck’s case, despite the state charges against him being dropped and an argument for self-defense existing, the DOJ continued to pursue the prosecution as part of the Biden administration’s crackdown on pro-life activists following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

We are now looking at what happened to Houck and the DOJ needs to explain.

The surveillance video, which was shown on Sean Hannity’s Monday evening broadcast, revealed several important things. We see that Houck is in the video. Was not It is located at the entrance to the abortion facility. The FACE Act stipulates that the woman should not be more than 100 yards away. Furthermore, it is evident that the “escort” walked all the way down the sidewalk by himself in order to threaten Houck’s son. The pro-abortion activist wasn’t escorting anyone.

Houck appears not to have had any reason to be charged under the FACE Act. Remember, the question here wasn’t whether Houck shoved the man. That’s a matter that was dealt with at the local level as it should have been, and no one goes to prison for 11 years for pushing someone. Houck’s actions were a violation of the FACE Act, which provided the basis for federal charges being brought by the DOJ.

I don’t believe he did, and at best, the situation was ambiguous enough that the DOJ never should have gotten involved. They did it for political reasons. They wanted to discourage prolife activists by using the full power and weight of the US government to stop them peacefully protesting and praying outside abortion clinics. It is a clear indication of how compromised the DOJ has become.

The punishment makes the situation worse. This was The prosecution. Houck had to spend thousands of dollars and put his life on the line to defend himself from a malicious hit that was only carried out to push the far-left’s radical pro-abortion agenda. Lawfare has become standard fare for the DOJ, and it’s scary stuff.
