The Washington Post Runs Article That Petitions Congress To Block Trump From Running in 2024
By Michael Robison
Published June 24, 2022 at 8:25pm

On Thursday, The Washington Post published an op-ed entitled, “There is a better option to keep Trump out of office than prosecution,” petitioning Congress to block former President Donald J. Trump from re-election in 2024.

The article was written by NBC News analyst Edward B. Foley, who argued that Congress should weaponize Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against Trump to prevent him from running again.

“If the goal of prosecuting former President Donald Trump is to protect American democracy from a Trump comeback in 2024, there is a better way to go about it than filing criminal charges,” Foley wrote.

“Instead, Congress should exercise its constitutional authority to prohibit Trump from seeking the presidency again,” he continued.

Section 3 of the 14th amendment explicitly authorizes Congress and the DOJ to ban people who have “engaged in insurrection” from running for office. Something Foley repeatedly called on Congress to exercise.

How? Another Kangaroo Kommittee appointed by Nancy? She facilitated the riot but is not being held responsible at all.

from an email:

“Garland is head of the DOJ. He was not deemed suitable by republicans to serve on the SCOTUS. He is exacting revenge upon conservative SCOTUS members by allowing lawbreakers, via non-enforcement of the law, and his has motive. He is angry. He needs to go.

Long ago he should have reclused himself publically in matters involvting the situation with the SCOTUS justices at their homes. His poor judgment in executing his duties, and protection of the SCOTUS means he should be impeached immediately.”

Turning this Foley argument around would include Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Fartwell, AOC, Maxine Mad Max Waters, the Squad, and all the rest of those swamp dwellers.
