It may well come down to this or an Obama pardon.
Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey tells MSNBC that not only is Hillary Clinton’s private email server illegal, but that it “disqualifies” her from holding any federal office.
Such as, President of the United States.
“If you do this or that bad thing, you’ve essentially disqualified yourself as being the leader of the free world,” said Mukasey, referring to the illegal server and the illegal handling of classified materials.
Mukasey specifically points to one federal law, Title 18. Section 2071.
For those of us who do not have United States Code committed to memory, here’s what it says:
“(a)
Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b)
Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.”
Yes, it explicitly states “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”
Shouldn’t voters know that? The media won’t tell them. So it’s up to us
Thanks for the post. It was straight forward to the point.
This (what HRC did w/her server) is disobeying the law, to the letter.
I don't see where the ambiguity is. Plus, she signed the NDA upon assuming office as SOS.
It feels like we are in this synthetically suspended reality, waiting to see if real reality will impinge upon our synthetic one.
Three years each; thirty thousand illegally handled emails.
Yeah, I say let her run after her 90,000-year prison term is completed.
Who has the standing to file court action to enforce this?
What would happen if we file in every County or other jurisdiction that has an election board or election authority?
Then we go through a discovery process before the court hearing.
