    That's considered when you 'call a spade a spade.'

    And even Ron Paul is able to do that.

    August 9th 2022


    The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is specifically designed to stop him from running for president again in 2024, legal experts have concluded.

    Trump’s Palm Beach property was raided by the feds last night as part of a supposed investigation into Trump taking classified documents when he left office.

    The Biden Regime dubiously claimed it had no advance knowledge of the raid, which has overwhelmingly been characterized by Republicans as politically motivated.

    According to legal experts, the raid is clearly intended to be part of an effort to charge Trump with mishandling White House records, which would stop him from being able to run for president in 2024.

    “If Trump is convicted under this federal statute, he would be prohibited from holding any office including the office of the president,” said former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.

    “That would be huge,” he added.

    Trump would face charges under US Code Title 18, Section 2071, which states, 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,” faces a fine and up to three years in prison.

    The provision mandates that the person responsible “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”

    It's hilarious this is all so similar to one of Hillary's worst faux pas, right down to happening in the bathroom. If all this keeps Hillary from running again, I say it's tax dollars about as well spent as you can hope for.

    Rep. Anthony Sabatini Calls for the Florida State Government to Break All Ties with the Department of Justice

    The days of America operating like a respectable republic based on the rule of law ended with the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s residence in Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022.

    Those who were led to believe that the FBI is a “neutral” and “impartial” institution received a hard dose of reality on this fateful day. Wishful thinking goes out the window when one stares down the barrel of gross tyranny

    Armed Federal agents busted into former President Trump's Florida house last night, ostensibly to seek classified documents that were to be turned in to the National Archives. What's behind this unprecedented move? Also today: Biden sends Ukraine $4 billion...to help with their budget! And finally: media races to claim Biden chalking up victories. Why?

    No, 18 U.S.C. § 2071 Cannot Disqualify Trump From The Presidency
    That statute disqualifies a person from "holding any office under the United States."
    https://reason.com/volokh/2022/08/08...he-presidency/
    Josh Blackman (08 August 2022)

    According to reports, the FBI searched Mar-A-Lago as part of an investigation about the handling of classified documents. Will this be the action that finally stops Trump? Several progressive commentators gleefully pointed to 18 U.S.C. § 2071. It provides:

    Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term "office" does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

    If Trump is convicted of violating this statute, can he be disqualified from the presidency? No. And my colleague Seth Barrett Tillman wrote about this precise issue in 2015. At the time, conservative commentators, including former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, argued that Hillary Clinton could be disqualified from the presidency due to the storage of classified materials on her private email server. Seth explained that Mukasey's argument does not work.

    Under Powell v. McCormack and U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton, Congress and the states cannot "add to the express textual qualifications for House and Senate seats in Article I." And that reasoning, Seth concluded, would seem to apply to the qualifications for the presidency in Article II. Several courts in the Seventh Circuit, and elsewhere, reached that same conclusion.

    On this blog, Mukasey later admitted that Tillman was correct, and he was wrong:

    [O]n reflection . . . Professor Tillman's [analysis] is spot on, and mine was mistaken. . . . The disqualification provision in Section 2071 may be a measure of how seriously Congress took the violation in question, and how seriously we should take it, but that's all it is.

    Tonight, Charlie Savage of the New York Times recounted this history in an article on the Trump search.

    Some Republicans were briefly entranced with whether the law could keep Mrs. Clinton out of the White House, including Michael Mukasey, a former attorney general in the administration of George W. Bush. So was at least one conservative think tank.

    But in considering that situation, several legal scholars — including Seth B. Tillman of Maynouth University in Ireland and Eugene Volokh of the University of California, Los Angeles — noted that the Constitution sets eligibility criteria for who can be president, and argued that Supreme Court rulings suggest Congress cannot alter it. The Constitution allows Congress to disqualify people from holding office in impeachment proceedings, but grants no such power for ordinary criminal law.

    Mr. Volokh later reported on his blog that Mr. Mukasey — who is also a former federal judge — wrote that "upon reflection," Mr. Mukasey had been mistaken and Mr. Tillman's analysis was "spot on." (Mrs. Clinton was never charged with any crime related to her use of the server.)

    Once again, Tillman rebuts an argument that conservatives favored as a way to get Clinton, that liberals now favor as a way to get Trump. There is nothing new under the sun.

    Back in 2015, Seth did not have to make the argument that the Presidency is not an "office under the United States" for purposes of Section 2071. But Seth and I did consider another statute, 18 U.S.C. § 2383, which also disqualifies a person from "holding any office under the United States." In an article published shortly after the inauguration, we addressed what happens if the Biden administration prosecutes and convicts Trump of insurrection. That article is suddenly relevant to our present moment.

    Also, this whole law business about concealing documents. Isn't that just a factor if it's the only copy of said documents ? As a mere question of law, not specifically related to this case, I'm just interested what the actual deal is.

    Most people on this cannot see past their political bias blinders.

    Fact is, it has nothing to do with political bias, either way. Trump knew for months they could do this. Did he set it up with Wray tipping him off ? Or did Wray not tip him off ? That matters. What else matters is that documents belonging to the United States are not the property of Donald J. Trump, they are the property of the United States. We can be sober-minded about this, and perceptive, or we can be mentally abused for political purposes, and that swings both ways. Don't be used. All I'm saying.
