Trump Is Now on the Hook for 32 Counts of Mishandling Secret Documents

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Save it for the 2024 election!

It’s going to be a balls-out, no-holds-barred, utter shit fest of propaganda, lies, and disregard for any laws and/or ethics to get him re-elected.

Delay, delay and then steal the election to stay out of jail.

Great visual!💜

And shave your wrists!

Not a lawyer, but related to multiple and helped one study for the bar, so I know basically jack shit, but Section 3 of the 14th amendment:

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. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

In short, no.

We need the Jan 6th indictment and a conviction under the insurrection act US code 2383

Also those indictments for Jan 6th in the DC federal jurisdiction are expected any second now.

Nope. The only charges that might potentially block him are the ones related to January 6th, but at this time we don't even know what they are.

IANAL, but no. Even if he is found guilty and faces hard time, he can still be President. It would take Congressional action under the 14th amendment to prevent it, but a judge could still over rule that theoretically.

In a functioning democracy, a person like Trump would never stand a chance after his first term, never mind the evidence of his criminality.

Our democracy is broken from too many uneducated people who need someone else to tell them what to think about a topic. The cult of personality relies on emotional appeals instead of fact base reason.

Shit’s fucked, yo.

I think it's so you can't get your political rivals arrested to prevent them from running against you. Kinda like Lula in Brazil. I think it makes sense, even if it feels shitty right now. Congress could still do something about it, but good luck getting more than a handful of Republicans to hit their party's self destruct button.

The ancient for the most part rich white slave owners who wrote the constitution just didn’t think of the scenario where a corrupt imprisoned felon could be a candidate for president. They were all 18th century enlightened gentlemen and that was outside their reality. They were however very concerned that some Europe-born demagogue might gain power.

Eugene V. Debs ran for president from prison. There's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't. Ironically, though, you won't be allowed to vote.

"Its a double negative, which means Jack Smith is guilty of obstruction of justice now! SUCK ON THAT LIBS!"

So far. The problem is classified docs cases are very difficult to prosecute because everyone involved needs the clearance to view the evidence. Some documents he compromised may be so high level, it would be worse to grant clearance to a jury than to let him walk.

That’s how bad this is. 32 charges are likely the best we can do.

Don’t be silly. Rich people don’t pay fines.

Technically anywhere between nothing and 10 years per count depending on how the trial goes

No it will all magically go away with a wave of the money wand

[clutching pearls intensifies]

The most ridiculous argument ever. If they have some, then that would be a crime TOO. Even if they have truckloads, it doesn't make it any less of a crime for Trump.

1. The answer is zero. ;)

Had. They turned them in when requested, like any non-traitor would.
