Did JAG just arrest Colorado Supreme Court Justice Melissa Hart for striking Donald Trump from the state’s primary elections?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : JAG Arrested Colorado Supreme Court Justice Melissa Hart!

On 1 April 2024, Real Raw News posted an article (archive) which claimed that JAG arrested Colorado Supreme Court Justice Melissa Hart for striking Donald Trump from the state’s primary elections!

As usual, the article is long, rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

JAG Arrests 4th Treasonous Colorado SCJ Melissa Hart

Colorado Supreme Court Justice Melissa Hart, one of the four justices who ruled in favor of striking President Donald Trump’s name from the state’s primary ballot, received an unexpected visitor Sunday morning, and it wasn’t the Easter Bunny.

A White Hat source told Real Raw News that JAG investigators had discovered where Hart had ensconced herself—400 miles south of Denver, at a three-bedroom, two-bathroom Pueblo-style casa in Santa Fe, New Mexico—and decided to pay her a courtesy call.

He said investigators confronted Hart with a military arrest warrant when she stepped outside to retrieve the previous day’s mail. She incredulously told investigators they had the wrong woman and identified herself as Lissa Mather, a semi-retired elementary school teacher who relocated to the Santa Fe area following the tragic death of her husband, Brad.

They handcuffed Hart and drove her to a JAG processing center, where she will stay until flown to Guantanamo Bay to stand trial along with her three co-conspirators, Richard L. Gabriel, William W. Hood, and Monica Márquez—who have been in pre-trial detainment since earlier this year. JAG has said all four will be tried jointly.

On February 23, Gabriel returned to Denver International Airport, where JAG criminal investigators awaited him. They allowed him to leave the airport and rent a car before pursuing him along Pena Blvd toward downtown Denver. They’d been prepared to sideswipe him, to send his car careening off the road, but Gabriel simplified their mission by stopping at a convenience store a mile from the airport, in the northeast suburb of Montbello. He spent five minutes in the store and returned to his rental, only to find himself staring into an open window, behind which sat, in the driver’s seat, a JAG investigator pointing a pistol at Gabriel’s forehead. As he turned to flee on foot, three more investigators advanced on him from behind and placed him in handcuffs.

Our source said Gabriel will soon join Hood and Marquez at Guantanamo Bay.

We asked our source why JAG hasn’t yet held tribunals for the other two.

“Because Admiral Crandall will try them jointly. And that means we need all four, and we’ll have Melissa Heart soon enough,” he said.

Truth : JAG Did Not Arrest Colorado Supreme Court Justice Melissa Hart!

The truth is – this is just another fake story created by Real Raw News, just to generate page views and money.

Fact #1 : JAG Did Not Arrest Supreme Court Justice Melissa Hart

This is really silly, but it has to be said – the Judge Advocate General did not arrest Colorado Supreme Court Justice Melissa Hart.

In fact, no Colorado Supreme Court justice was arrested for voting to remove Donald Trump from the state ballots in the upcoming 2024 US Presidential elections.

When Real Raw News first claimed that US Marines arrested Colorado Supreme Court Justice Monica Marquez, Colorado Judicial Department spokesperson Rob McCallum said that “there is no legitimacy” to the claims.

Justice Márquez has not been arrested by the Marines, and is not in custody.

To be clear – no Colorado Supreme Court Justice, not even Justice Melissa Hart, was not arrested for any reason, by the JAG (Judge Advocate General), the US Marines, or any law enforcement officials.

Fact #2 : JAG Has No Powers Over Civilians

Regardless of the reasons, it is really silly for anyone to claim that the JAG officers arrested all four Colorado Supreme Court justices.

The Judge Advocate General’s Corps is the military justice branch of the American military. It has no powers or jurisdiction over civilians, even if they are American citizens. The civilian justice system is separate from the military justice system. JAG officers can only prosecute US military service members.

Only in rare exceptions are JAG officers allowed to prosecute civilians. For example, if the civilian committed a crime on a military base, or while working in a foreign country and the local laws allow it. They can also prosecute civilians with special authority from the President, or Congress.

Fact #3 : JAG Officers Cannot Arrest Anyone

In addition, JAG officers are not law enforcement officers. They are really military lawyers, and have no powers to arrest anyone – not even military personnel.

They can investigate crimes, defend or prosecute service members accused of those crimes. But JAG officers cannot actually arrest anyone. So it’s really silly for anyone to write stories about JAG officers arresting anyone. What a ridiculous fantasy!

Fact #4 : Real Raw News Is A Fake News Website

Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.

To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.

That disclaimer, which is not clearly mentioned in his articles, lets him keep creating fake news to go viral, and generate money.

His articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from his website. Here are some of his fake stories that I debunked earlier:
