In reply to the discussion: Could Trump be prosecuted and disqualified from office for destroying White House records? [View all]Celerity
(54,015 posts)31. I never once claimed that there were not potential penalties from violating the PRA, for you
to try and claim I did is sophistry. I simply and correctly stated that the PRA itself contained no such language.
And you still have not withdrawn your incorrect positing that a POTUS can be banned from holding the office again via statutory law alone, law that materially alters the US Constitution's clearly stated qualifications for POTUS.
That is basic logic that one does NOT have to be an attorney to easily grasp.

For someone who claims to be an attorney, you seem to not understand basic US Constitutional law.

I am sure that Trump can be indicted. Whether he can be convicted is another thing.
