Why Trump should be led out of office in handcuffs.

[Imallin4Joe]

Is he conspiring to cover up Putin's recent hacking of critical government computers and systems?

If so, he is in direct violation of the oath of office that he took..

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL ENEMIES, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."


That old saying..
The cover up is almost always worse than the crime.

To president-elect Joe. Please do the right thing. Have Trump arrested.

Prosecute his Fascist ass.

1. I'm all for prosecuting Trump for any and all lawbreaking he has done. But you need to cite

what law is broken and by what deed. Violating the oath of office -- outside of doing so in a manner which itself would be a crime for any non-oath-taker performing the same action -- is not a crime, AFAIK.

One could perform an act which is both/simultaneously a violation of the oath and a crime, but in that case he could/would just be prosecuted for the crime.

2. I disagree in this case

The crimes are the worst but the cover up shows guilt.

3. Handcuffs are fine but don't forget the leg shackles. I want to watch him do the leg-iron

shuffle!

11. Is that something like The E Street Shuffle?

Handcuffs, leg irons, a net, a tranc dart...

All if the above!?


Works for me!
Just don't let him get away! I want jail, then prison!!!

[abqtommy]

13. ...and a spit hood. Sounds good to me!

4. FYI, that's not the presidential oath.

8. Yeah, the outh for president is a little bit shorter.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

6. I'd rather not soil the Peoples' House or the Office of the President any more than it has been....

Now, I'd be perfectly fine the next day for Trump to be pulled out of Mar a Lago at 7AM by NY AG or NYC folks. Handcuffs will probably have to suffice although a taser shot or two to get him in them would be okay. I think leg irons are a prison thing, not an initial arrest thing but not my area of expertise.

7. He will be going after a mental breakdown

Very soon I think

[jmowreader]

9. That's the oath I took

The presidential oath basically says "I promise to try real hard."

10. Let us count count the ways?

A second of humour in a deeply disturbing, cruel, law breaking set of years.


Infuriating!

12. For humor, Joyce Vance sounded pretty emotional for a lawyer

when she said, "It is worth noticing what's going on and calling it out for the serious effort it is by this White House (get ready for it!) to infringe upon our constitutional republic."

Thought for a moment I was finally going to get to hear what word these attorneys are using to mean treason. But maybe that's it at the end.
