It is true that you can't steal documents but declassed documents are not able to be stolen. They're in the public domain. The Constitution does outline that this prohibits running for office, but like all the FBI/DOJ "evidence" against Trump, it can't be made up nonsense for it to survive judicial review.
An FBI raid does not prohibit you from running for office! Possessing classified documents does not prohibit you from running for office! You have to be CONVICTED of a felony to prevent running for office! This raid is so far from meaning that Trump can't run for office, it's laughable.
That's not entirely true. The code is kind of up for interpretation, but it does not state at all that you have to be convicted, it just says if you have taken classified documents and not returned them and they are found in your possession that you're violating 18-2071.
Congress tried to use this to bar Killary from running for president, but congressional scholars argued against it at the time and that was accepted.
18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
(a)Whoever 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, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b)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.
The code does not override the constitution.
Huh?
So how come ol nasty nancy got to tear up the SOTU address with no backlash?
And dont forget Hillary...
OOH! OOH! I can answer this one! This is the BEST. Trump and Nancy negotiated that Trump would send her an advance copy of the SOTU speech, but he deviated from it. Remember him laughing at their exiense? "You weren't supposed to clap, there!" Trump played them, embarrassed them, and Nancy was pissed.... That's why she tore the speech. She was saying, "Here's what Trump's word means!"
Because it was one of 500 copies handed out to everyone in the room that evening and it was public record?
Why do you think Kash was talking about being Trumps rep and declassified docs being made available? I wonder if they're looking for the red folder? They step in thecteap everytime. Does anyone w half a brain really think Trump would give them anything true and real they could use against him? Theres no there there.
THIS!👆
Hillary was not a President, or former President. Presidents and former Presidents have a significantly higher level of discretion over possession of classified documents, especially since a President has the authority to classify a document as "top secret".
Presidents do, former presidents do not. They have a security clearance, but not the ability to declassify.
Hillary did both oh the Irony!
