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.

They can’t stand it.

Any such ruling will be overturned by SCOTUS

Trump is in the vernacular chickenshit and will never fight to save himself

Republican House members MUST shut down the House’

Biden doesn’t get his stinking bill.

The only thing they can do along stopping the Bill is to flip 4 daemon-rats, short of that they are just so much noise.

Hillary Clinton had illegal possession of over 1,000 FBI files.

Two-tier justice systems are so cool!

We pretend to have fair elections, they don’t pretend.

Old joke:

A Russian and an American get on a plane in Moscow and get to talking. The Russian says he works for the Kremlin and he’s on his way to go learn American propaganda techniques.

“What American propaganda techniques?” asks the American.

“Exactly,” the Russian replies.

President decrees what is and isn’t classified. He was President.

If he has it, it’s de-classified. How stupid are these people?

He never had the opportunity to return to the White House after 1/21/21 to get stuff after he was President.

“what probably happened was that some of the material was reclassified after he left office.”

They don’t have that power, per Pete Hoekstra who was head of the Intelligence Committee.

The documents were not taken by him personally, but gathered by the GSA and sent to him. This same documents were looked at by the FBI 2 months ago and nothing wad done.

This is not about documents - its about bringing a criminal felonious charge to try to prevent him from running again.

This desperate action says to me that Ron Klein, Biden’s Chief of Staff and the architect of the 2020 election subversion, is worried he cannot pull it off a second time. Chain of command: Klein told Garland, who told Wrey, who ordered the raid. The Usurper may have had a hand in there somewhere also.

It also should say to everyone that the outcome of the Fall elections are hugely in doubt, and despite the prognoses, could easily become a Blue Wave - as that is the only way these vile people, who value power above all else, can survive.

Judicial Watch was already suing to have the documents released. Seems the feds want to pick and choose what they leak.

I'm of a mind that the raid was simply cover. They have already created what they need and will at some point present it as evidence, saying "Look what we found in that raid."

Anything else wouldn't be a certainty for conviction.

Don’t know about FEMA but there was a time 40 years ago when many of us commercial salmon fishermen were sent of Federal prison for the crime of fishing commercially.

People here laughed at me, demanding links and so forth, when I said your day will come ... and it has ... now its your turn.

You will share that bunk with two other guys in a building meant to house X number of people, but instead houses 10X people. Enjoy.

Yep, Nancy Pelosi is guilty of destroying the State of the Union speech handed to her as an official document. Trump even said so.

That law cannot bar someone from running for and holding the office of the President of the United States. It can keep someone from being nominated to lesser offices.

Federal law is not superior to the Constitution. The qualifications for the presidency are clearly laid out in Article II of the Constitution, and federal law cannot amend that.

The only bar to holding the office of President is impeachment and removal, the 14th amendment prohibition via a finding of insurrection, or the 25th amendment finding of incapacitation.

This will go nowhere.
