IF Trump is prosecuted and found guilty of mishandling classified documents.....he will be excluded from ever holding office again.
And as far as the "if" goes, remember that the FBI was only able to search Mar a Lago after presenting enough evidence that a crime had been committed to a judge.
"THREAD: “What’s the difference between this and Watergate?” Donald Trump raged in a statement Monday night after FBI agents.
Well, as a Watergate and FBI historian, four things stand out to me:
1) The idea the FBI launched a raid on a former president would have been approved and monitored at the highest level of the Justice Department; hard to even imagine how high the bar of probable cause must've been for the Bureau to initiate such a politically sensitive search....
2) A search warrant means an independent federal judge ALSO signed off on the probable cause and, independently, believes evidence there was likely a crime committed AND that more evidence would be found at Mar-a-Lago. That's huge too.
3) The fact the search apparently didn't leak until basically when word came from Donald Trump himself shows the FBI and the Justice Department conducted this search by the book and a high degree of integrity. No leaks? Impressive. Surely only a small team knew inside DOJ...
4) Taken together, this is one of the most significant, sensitive, and politically explosive actions the US Justice Department and FBI has ever taken—one of a tiny handful of times it's ever investigated a president.
Bottom line: The FBI & DOJ must've known they had the goods."
They would have pondered the ramifications of raiding the home of an ex-president for a long time before deciding to drop the hammer. Garland and Wray knew before they asked for a warrant that they had way more than enough already to prove the case to a jury.
The FBI is raiding the home of a former President because they feel he has classified documents there, of which a President has extraordinary power to decide what is classified, what is not and what he wants to take.
Isn't this no more than what Hillary Clinton did with having an illegal server on her property which then allowed the housing of thousands of classified documents illegally, BUT she was NOT the President and did not have that same executive privilege?
Funny how there are two different sets of rules depending on political party.
I may be wrong, but it isn't just classified documents that are not the property of the President.
Not unless you committed the unprecedented very serious crimes of Obstruction of an official proceeding of congress, Conspiracy to defraud the United States, Seditious Conspiracy, and Wire fraud
Bull. Parents attending school board meetings have been labeled as domestic terrorists via the patriot act under Garland’s regime. Intimidation, humiliation. Shut them up.
Naaaa... they are fan letters from all those wonderful Trump supporters who just got more joining in to support Trump.. the left is so desperate and so banana republic looking for a crime , they proved they are corrupt to the whole nation who is not brainwashed by the communist deep state.
Judges don't issue search warrants of former Presidents for that
