In a recent interview with Brannon Howse, attorney David Shestokas discussed the shocking indictment of Reverend Stephen Lee, a Lutheran pastor from suburban Chicago. Lee is one of 18 individuals who have been indicted in connection with alleged activities surrounding the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
Shestokas began by clarifying Lee's background and emphasizing his significant contributions to various crises throughout the United States. "Reverend Stephen Lee has been a chaplain and counselor to law enforcement victims and survivors of major incidents like 9/11, the Columbine shooting, Hurricane Katrina, and Hurricane Irma," Schoen said. He highlighted Lee's unique blend of law enforcement and ministry experience, which has made him a prominent figure during times of crisis over the past three decades.
The interview took a critical turn as the discussion delved into the indictment itself. Lee's alleged "overt act" in question was knocking on the door of Ruby Freeman, a central figure in a controversial video depicting election workers processing ballots during the 2020 election. Shestokas highlighted the irony of such a basic action being considered a criminal act. "If this indictment were to result in criminal convictions, we won't have any legal system," he remarked.
The indictment includes 41 counts and a whopping 161 "overt acts" related to a supposed criminal conspiracy to overturn the presidential election in Georgia. However, Shestokas pointed out that many of these acts are protected under the First Amendment, such as lawyers providing legal advice, individuals lobbying state legislatures, and even sending tweets. "It's really baffling," Shestokas added, as he questioned the validity of these charges.
Shestokas expressed his disbelief at the charges against Lee, given his history of service and his previous interaction with the authorities. In fact, Lee had previously been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, but the judge overseeing the case ruled that he wasn't even a material witness. To Shestokas' astonishment, despite this finding, Lee woke up one day to find himself indicted and facing charges related to the same incident.
One of the most concerning aspects of the indictment is the high bond set for Lee, an ordained minister with limited financial resources. Shestokas mentioned that a defense fund had been set up to help cover Lee's legal expenses. He also criticized the lack of negotiation in such cases, noting that the authorities typically present defendants with a "take it or leave it" deal, leaving them little room for negotiation or fair treatment.
When asked about the influence of the prosecutor's background, Shestokas acknowledged the concerns raised by some regarding the prosecutor's family ties to radical ideologies. He drew parallels to Stalin's chief of police, Lavrentiy Beria, who famously said, "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime." Schoen suggested that this mentality might be reflected in the indictment's attempt to turn ordinary actions into criminal offenses.
As the interview concluded, Shestokas emphasized the seriousness of the situation and the potential ramifications if these charges were to lead to convictions. He also expressed skepticism about the trial timeline, speculating that the trial might not even begin before the next presidential inauguration.
In a climate where the line between protected expression and criminal activity seems blurred, the case of Reverend Stephen Lee raises questions about the erosion of legal rights and freedoms in the United States. The interview sheds light on a troubling trend of overreach and criminalization of basic actions that should be protected by the Constitution.
