Exactly!

Eric Holder is the most god-awful creature on the planet. Wherever you look in modern day history, he’s there in some decision-making capacity. Like a time traveler. From the clenched fist from his college days to the Oklahoma City Bombing to Waco to Ruby Ridge to Elian Gonzales to Marc Rich to Trayvon Martin to Ferguson to INTERPOL to Judge John Roll to Fast and Furious to distribution of PIGFORD II billions to contempt of Congress to the millions of illegal aliens. And of course fooling around with voter changes in key states thru their Supreme Courts. There he is. How can it be? How can it all be? His wife, the younger sister of the Civil Rights icon who Democrat Alabama Gov George Wallace attempted to block from the U of A, owned a building which housed the offices of a notorious abortion doctor.
Eric Holder is knee-deep in the chaos our nation has faced. Obama could never have done it without Him.

You, Biden, Clinton, Obama and your ASSociates should be in jail, Eric! Isn’t shipping guns to criminals groups in Mexico a crime?

They are terrified he will run again.

Disagree with that. They're aren't afraid of him running again, and they hope he does. They think that there are millions of voters who will happily vote for DeSantis or Pence, who won't vote Trump.

They are doing this to Trump because they hate him and want to make an example of him, and are actually willing to reduce their chance of winning in 2024 to see him in jail.

This is the same Eric Holder who illegally ran guns to Mexican cartels and blamed innocent Americans for his crimes.

He's directly responsible for those killed with those weapons, including a Border Patrol agent.

The Myth Trump Wouldn't be Allowed to Run for President, with Alan Dershowitz and Harmeet Dhillon

Even if DOJ were to indict and convict Trump, it would not stop him from running for President.

I suspect that Obama, Holder and Jarrett are running the White House and are orchestrating the AG and FBI.

See my post #86. Dershowitz said Trump could even run from jail. Elias started this myth pointing to the Constitutional provision in the 14th Amendment. It was intended for those who participated in the Civil War.

Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3:​

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

Could the disqualification clause prevent Donald Trump from running for president in 2024?

Theoretically, yes. Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment gives Congress the power to disqualify someone who has already held a public office from holding "any office" if they participate in an "insurrection or rebellion" against the United States.

But since this mechanism has never been used against a president, there are still questions to resolve. The disqualification clause applies to current and former federal officials, state officials, and military officials. However, legal scholars are split on whether the disqualification clause applies to the presidency. It's likely the 14th Amendment will continue to come up in conversations approaching the 2024 presidential election.

Nonetheless I hope they realize there could very well be blood in the streets if they do this

They don't care.

They arrogantly and stupidly don't believe it will include their blood...

Holder would know in that he’s one of the ones orchestrating it.

They stole the 2020 election. By making it a crime to say that the 2020 election was stolen, they make it easier to steal all future elections.

If they really thought that the 2020 election was won honestly, they would have welcomed a bipartisan investigation of the results (particularly in the swing states which had Trump winning until the overnight ballot dumps for Biden), just to convince the people who voted for Trump that it was an honest outcome.

Or a Catch-22?

Trump is going to jail. The Deep State controls all institutions. Why would they relinquish power? They have proof of Trump’s criminal behavior. They have a dossier. What do you want in it? Maybe the fact that Trump fathered a child with a space alien. Nothing is too absurd to be included.

Holder was indicted for contempt of Congress and ignored it.

And, indictment means absolutely nothing in regards running for office. But, the idiots who watch CNN will believe that it does.

Dershowitz outlined the four factors any pres candidate must satisfy to run and hold the Pres office. And, not having been either indicted or convicted is not part. A candidate can serve time for a felony and still be elected. This is theater.
