EXPERTS REFUTE CLINTON-LINKED LAWYER’S SUGGESTION THAT FBI RAID MAY BAR TRUMP
FROM PRESIDENCY

A prominent Democratic legal operative perhaps accidentally revealed the true
motivation behind the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago
estate in Florida.

Marc Elias, who worked as an attorney on the 2016 Clinton campaign, cited U.S.
Code Title 18, Section 2071, to argue that Trump could be banned from being
president again.

“The media is missing the really, really big reason why the raid today is a
potential blockbuster in American politics,” he said on Twitter.

“Yes, I recognize the legal challenge that application of this law to a
president would garner (since qualifications are set in Constitution). But the
idea that a candidate would have to litigate this is during a campaign is in my
view a ‘blockbuster in American politics,’” he added.

This seems to be the new talking point from Democrats.

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss appeared on MSNBC and said he agreed
with Elias.

“That’s a real law, and if Donald Trump violated that law … that has real
penalties, including the fact that he may never be able to serve in federal
office ever again,” Beschloss told MSNBC.







Several other prominent legal experts insisted the legal block had long been
ruled not applied.

“If Trump is convicted of violating this statute, can he be disqualified from
the presidency? No,” insisted Josh Blackman, a constitutional law professor at
the South Texas College of Law Houston.

Blackman also cited those same laws that were examined in 2015 when Hillary
Clinton was accused of storing classified materials on her private email server.
He noted that a potential block had been ruled out.

Law professor Seth Barrett Tillman — one of those who wrote about the applicable
laws in 2015 — noted Monday that the only restrictions on presidential
eligibility were citizenship, residence, and age.

“Although the former president may be at legal risk, depending on the facts, a
criminal conviction would not bar him from another run for elected federal
office, including the presidency,” Tillman tweeted.





Other experts warned that the raid will only further strengthen the support of
Trump’s followers.

“If they raided his home just to find classified documents he took from The
White House,” one legal expert said, adding, “he will be re-elected president in
2024, hands down.

“It will prove to be the greatest law enforcement mistake in history,” the
expert added.

Beyond that, FBI Director Christopher Wray broke his silence on Wednesday and
refused to directly address questions about the raid.

Asked to respond to Trump’s suggestion, Wray declined to jump into the fray. “As
I’m sure you can appreciate, that’s not something I can talk about,” he said.
Wray then referred such a question to the Department of Justice.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Biden Justice Department to produce a
copy of a search warrant executed at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where the FBI
conducted a nine-hour-plus search on Monday.

Federal Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered the DOJ to “file a Response to the Motion
to Unseal” the warrant after requests were made by the Times-Union, a newspaper
located in Albany, N.Y., as well as the conservative legal group Judicial Watch.

The judge said that the DOJ must respond no later than Aug. 15, reports said.

Reinhart signed off on the FBI’s warrant to search the former president’s
palatial home in South Florida in what he said was an “unannounced raid on my
home.”

He took a leave of absence from a local U.S. Attorney’s office more than 10
years ago to represent employees of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein after
they had gotten immunity during the lengthy probe of the now-late financier for
sex trafficking.

Trump attorney Lindsey Halligan said that the warrant was “sealed” when agents
showed up to search Trump’s estate.

Another Trump lawyer, Christian Bobb, meanwhile, told streaming network Real
America’s Voice: “When I arrived and kind of announced myself as the legal
representation for President Trump. I asked to see a copy of the warrant.”

Trump revealed on Monday that his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida was raided by a
“large group” of FBI agents.

The FBI’s unannounced raid was allegedly tied to boxes of classified information
that Trump had supposedly taken to his Florida estate.
