From the Washington Examiner

quote:

The first subsection says: "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." The following passage that says anyone "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," was the one Elias highlighted.

That law does not disqualify you from running for or being president.

ETAL again, only if he is convicted of a crime by the senate after being impeached by the house. This part is in the constitution.

So, what were his "willful and unlawful" intentions here?

Yeah. None of those elements have been met even if what the Media alleges occurred (which it more than likely didn’t).

You have 11 posts today; 7 of them are asking why Trump hasn’t released the warrant.

Most likely because his attorneys have advised against it.

Does that finally answer your question?

This shows what an idiot this lawyer is and how he's just trying to get the dim's hopes up. Unless this is a Constitutional Amendment he's referring too, this passage you listed doesn't apply to the President. The rules to be President are outlined in the Constitution and nothing can override that except a Constitutional ammendment.
