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.

How is this enforced?
1) Forcing States to keep Trump off ballots?
2) Refuse to count ballots cast in Trumps name?
3) Refuse to certify/swear-in Trump?
4) Institute a system where only certain people are allowed to run for election or they will be arrested?

#1- What happens if a State doesn’t comply and allows the people to vote?
#2 That opens a whole can of worms and would destroy the system by selectively counting ballots, disenfranchising millions.
#3 That is open warfare where government decides it can throw away the vote if they don’t like it.
#4 That is the USSR, one party state

2024 will be the US citizen vs the US government.

The commander in chief determines what is or is not classified.

We must marginalize ALL members of the FBI. They are all complicit. There are no good ones, or they would have already resigned in protest.

The reason that the Dems are so emboldened is that, despite Trump’s rhetoric, there were never really any consequences for their increasingly outrageous defiance of him while he was President.

Nancy’s backside should have been in jail or at least out of the Speakership for this stunt, but she knew she had nothing to fear…notice the ugly little smirk.

Trump was a paper tiger when it came to dealing with the Dems, partially, I think, because he honestly couldn’t conceive of an American political party or political figures acting in such bad faith. He talked about the Deep State, but one of the negatives of his never having been in government before was that he had never experienced it.

That won’t be true the second time around. And it won’t even be true for some formerly squishy elected representatives if we win the House in November. This raid has really brought it home to a lot of people. I hope we can keep the momentum going and sweep the elections.

This is an attempt by the FBI/DOJ to smear all the primary candidates endorsed by Trump ahead of the midterms. The morons running the FBI/DOJ for the benefit of the Dems think this will work. It won’t. It will backfire spectacularly.

Following the midterms, Congress *must* investigate and defund the FBI. It is a corrupt organization that cannot be allowed to continue to exist. A national police force was a bad idea from its inception; always subject to the accumulation of power thru force and unchecked corruption.

I am sorry that Mar Lago was not sufficiently fortified. The FBI must be stopped.

I am afraid to think they have either already decided not to have elections, or they have set the cheat so high that every democratic congressional candidate will get 81 million votes.

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.


HAHAHA the puffy-chested ones, the armchair-generals, and the fair-weather patriots will be protesting right up to the moment the box car doors close. Same for all those who, oh so loudly, proclaim they are 2Aers.

People who might actually do something, say nothing.

You two are smart. So I am sitting here trying to think of the differences between the CCP and DNC and finding very little difference. Can you see any differences?...DNC

To: Seeing More Clearly Now

The slime can quickly disappear down the drain, if the American people say “no,” and refuse to be herded into Communism and cattle cars.


Too late ... the doors are already closing or have closed. It no longer matters what the “American people” say, and has not since Nov 2020.
