    maga twitter is discussing the prospect of civil war. 

    i hate this timeline.
    We’re talking the national security of the US and every elected repub needs to be put on the record as to who and what they support. Might be time to convene the senate select intelligence committee gang of 8 and brief them on what was missing and needed to be returned.

    They think the military is on their side and the police.

    they aren’t totally wrong. I’d imagine a lot would switch sides or refuse to carry out orders 

    our military can’t defeat insurgents in other countries, and it’s impossible to defeat an ideology.

    Anything is going to play to the cult when it comes to the persecution defense.  Obviously justice needs to be served but I am really hoping for something more than a records violation that would feed into the paranoia of the right that trump is being targeted for purely political reasons.
    Nah, this is just softening them up for the real charges.  

    BTW, while the crime of destroying or otherwise compromising federal records is only a misdemeanor (I believe), it does make you ineligible to hold federal office.

    Not the presidency.  

    There have been people who have ran from prison before.  eugene debs got 4% in 1920 from prison. coincidentally jailed and convicted for violating anti-sedition laws

    The statute specifically states that you cannot hold federal office.  It also states you forfeit your current office. That's not true of other crimes.  So yes, a convicted murderer can be president because neither a statute or Constitution prohibits it.  This particular law does.  I'll see if I can find it.

    The constitutional requirements for president don’t include crimes as a disqualification.  I can’t imagine any federal court would allow any law to supersede that.  

    I guess a law is a law until it’s challenged.  I would think it adds a stipulation not listed in the constitution 

    the fact we need to determine if a convicted criminal can be president in the first place shows the mess we are in

    Anything not in the Constitution is left to either the state or the legislative branch.  In this case, the legislative branch addressed it.  

    Edit - in thinking about it, you may be right inasmuch as the qualifications are set forward.  It would be a helluva challenge.  

    §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

    Sandy Berger was fined $50K, had to perform 100 hours of community service, was put on probation for two years and lost his law license for removing a couple of documents related to his conduct as NSA director. This is a wee little bit more serious than that.

    Trump will probably sue the government for way more than that for damaging his beautiful house.  He’s probably angling for a free renovation.  

    Consequences to him are probably not even on his radar.  Getting something out of it probably is

    Anything is going to play to the cult when it comes to the persecution defense.  Obviously justice needs to be served but I am really hoping for something more than a records violation that would feed into the paranoia of the right that trump is being targeted for purely political reasons.

    Which is why the cult shouldn't set any of the criteria about what's suitable evidence for any of his crimes and which of his crimes deserve punishment. He committed multiple crimes out in the open and they laughed it off. Manafort just said he shared polling data with Russians, which was something also pointed out in the Steele Dossier. Not one of them is suddenly going to see this and say "wow, I guess the dossier had valid stuff in it".

    At this point I don't give a shit if anything blows up in anyone's face. I don't care if it's divisive and I don't want to hear about how we need to come to the center and heal the divide. Depending on how serious the classified info is, this could be one of his more minor crimes. If we can't have him held accountable just for this, we're screwed for at least the next 30 years.

    Yeah, I agree. Unfortunately, I don't see anyway the divide can be healed.  Letting 45 and his cult following off the hook would be a huge injustice and would play right into the hands of those who want to destroy democracy.  It would make no sense to do that.

    I do get get what static111 said about wanting to see more of the crimes brought to light in carrying out justice, but backing down to appease cultists is not going to stop them from being cultists.  If anything, it will encourage them.

    I’m glad the DOJ isn’t letting the fear of how tfg’s supporters may react dictate how they proceed.
