The Majority Report with Sam Seder · 3676 - How Protest Became Terrorism; Supreme Court Run Amok w/ Sufia Khalid, Chris Geidner · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

They charged multiple attempted murder accounts against all of the demonstrators, even the ones who weren't there at the time of shooting under this

theory, the Pinkerton liability theory, which basically means if it was foreseeable to anyone that was there that violence could occur, they could be held liable for attempted murder.

The jury rejected all of those counts.

The jury found for all of them, except for Benjamin Song, found them all not guilty on the multiple attempted murder counts, on the discharging of firearm counts, of course, because they were not involved in that activity.

But

It comes out of that National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, where it's the administration dictating to the Department of Justice to charge as domestic terrorism activities that now include trespass, property damage,

and doxing can all be considered domestic terrorism now.

So you're seeing this very rarely used in the domestic context statute being applied on American citizens involved in nonviolent protest activity, which leads to this cascade that we see afterwards and how they achieved what they achieved legally here.

These charges and then using all of these sentencings enhancements, the terrorism enhancement to get these

Massive, massively disproportionate and disparate sentences for these defendants.

So that's a great question.

And that is why we took on this case, because this is a dangerous expansion of how the terrorism laws are being applied.

And it's pushing what is First Amendment activity, essentially, into the national security space.

This statute, it's 2339A.

titles it as providing material support to terrorists.

Those acts, which can be property damage, causing property damage on federal property, can be charged as providing material support to terrorists.

That statute does not require that you are a member of a domestic terrorist organization

or foreign territory.

It doesn't require any tie to any organization.

This can be used against anybody now at any protest where there is federal property damage.
