Trump could be BANNED from holding public office if he is found guilty of mishandling classified White House records
UK Daily Mail ^ | 8/9/2022 | Natasha Anderson

Posted on 08/09/2022 2:55:18 AM PDT by fruser1

Federal law prohibits someone convicted of mishandling documents from holding any office in the United States,

Trump, in his dramatic announcement of the raid, did not specifically say what the federal agents were looking for, just that his home was 'under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.'

Trump could be facing 'significant criminal exposure' if the FBI raid determines he destroyed government records, Rahmani, who is president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, told DailyMail.com Monday night.

He said Trump would likely be charged under US Code Title 18, Section 2071 which involves concealment or destruction of US government documents.

The code states that anyone who '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' could be fined and sentenced to a maximum of three years in prison.

I am worried they will plant some “kiddie porn” or worse. Probably use Hunter’s photos with his nieces him snorting meth and photoshop Trumps head on it.

I’m thinking that everyone who has said they’d never be herded into government cattle cars may soon get the opportunity to make good on their patriotic claims of defiance.

I'm not sure I'd call it "an opportunity" but you maybe be correct with your prediction.

I'm speechless at this outrageous abuse of political power.

The demonRATs have gone beyond abuse, they are giving us the finger and taunting all of us.

Thanks, doing what we can. Which is not much, but not nothing.

If you feel the raid on Mar-a-Lago was a travesty, just wait until you see what the newly expanded IRS does to conservative leaders, organizations and individuals.

I bet the NRA is one of the first targeted by this new, more powerful IRS.

The Dems are screwing themselves by knocking out Trump. DeSantis is the stronger candidate,

Maybe. I don't doubt that either republican candidate will win many millions more votes than any democrat, but I do worry about the election cheating. The democrats have proven again and again, but most particularly yesterday, that's there is no level to which they will not stoop. Corrupt people will not cease their corruption on election day.

Don’t forget, you are in Florida. You can make a stink down there.

You also have a following, you can serve as a leader.

I can, too.

That has been the end game ever since President Trump came down that escalator back in 2015.

If anything happened, what probably happened was that some of the material was reclassified after he left office. Reclassified, just to keep him out of office.

Won't work. If it was reclassified, you cannot arrest / raid someone for that. They must be notified. If they fail to deliver, THEN you can arrest / raid.

They went on a fishing expedition, looking for anything illegal. NY state police were also with the FBI on the raid.

We know that and it will come out in trial, if the evidence is above reproach. It is all about delaying Trump for as long as possible until they find a way to keep off.

Pray for his safety. He is in danger now.

Law? America is clearly beyond such trivial matters as being a nation of laws.
