From behind bars at the District of Columbia Jail, a January 6 rioter awaiting trial on 11 criminal counts, Edward Jacob Lang, tells the Sun, “If we win this, it will clear the house” — meaning the jail — “and keep Donald Trump out of prison.”
Mr. Lang is referring to an appeal he has lodged at the Supreme Court, which he ventures “may be the most important case of the last decade.” It concerns the applicability to the mayhem of January 6, 2021, of a provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section 1512 (c)(2) of the United States Code, meant to combat financial crime.
