The Department of Justice (DOJ) is being accused of using obscure conspiracy laws against conservatives.

For example, violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act ordinarily would bring a year in prison. But in the past year, a host of sidewalk counselors at abortion facilities have been charged with FACE violations and also Conspiracy to Violate Civil Rights for posting to Facebook about where they would gather.
