Saw a preview for ‘National Treasure’ earlier and it got me thinking

Detention

" YOU MEAN THAT WASN'T REAL???"-

AOC probably.

That movie is like 15 years old.

If you steal the Constitution you would be a hero to about 40% of country

quote:

---

I thought Obama already destroyed the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Only for 8 years. He just wiped his feet on them.



As far as what would happen, you would go to jail for a while, and longer if you damaged them.

Don’t know how accurate this is but

quote:

---

...the theft itself (leaving out any conspiracies, crimes beforehand, or crimes afterwards, as well as multiple counts for the same crime) would come under 18 USC 668 (theft of major artwork) and carry the full 10-year maximum sentence (the Declaration is rather valuable). You might get nailed for more time if tried in DC court, actually (theft in DC has a max sentence of 15 years)...

This is assuming you hide it before getting caught.

You get sent to Guantanamo Bay, where you are beaten to near death. Then you hear light footsteps down the hallway. You look up, and then you see your President Donald Trump. He ask you for the location of the Declaration Of Independence, and you refuse to tell him. He then tells you there is very important information on it, and he can make you a very wealthy man in Russia for it. You give him the info, and one day you find your cell door is open. You walk out to a private jet. Said jet takes you to Moscow, where you get out and are greeted by a 80s limo. In the limo is the one and only Donald Trump. You then get in and see Hilary Clinton stripping because she is a commie spy also. As the day comes to a close, you all laugh while both Donald and Hilary look at you and say “Hope you had a great last day on earth, because no one can know about this”. Bernie Sanders comes out of nowhere, pulls out his gun and says “socialism and dictatorship forever bitch” and kills you.



That’s about sums up what would probably happen.

if you were a democrat, saying you were sorry is all you need to get a free pass on it.

Seems even more far fetched than somebody actually stealing the document to begin with, if I’m being completely honest.
