List of Trump Crimes That Could Earn Him Ten Years In Prison ....... to date

THE ACTUAL LAWS TRUMP HAS BROKEN, JUST WITH THE UKRAINE AND CHINA AFFAIRS, COULD LAND HIM 10 YEARS IN PRISON
Take 18 U.S. Code § 872: “Extortion by officers or employees of the United States.” Or 18 U.S. Code § 610: “Coercion of political activity.”

IN THE FACE of an overwhelming pile of evidence suggesting that President Donald Trump pressured a foreign country to damage a political rival, most Republicans have chosen either to remain silent or to deny outright that anything out of the ordinary occurred. Others have taken a more sophisticated route: Concede his wrongdoing, but argue that it’s not impeachable.

“Donald Trump should not have been on the phone with a foreign head of state encouraging another country to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden. Some Republicans are trying, but there’s no way to spin this as a good idea,” wrote Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel recently in The Daily Caller. But, they add importantly, that doesn’t mean his error rises to the level of an impeachable offense.

They are, however, indictable. A variety of felony criminal statutes plainly implicate Trump’s behavior, and come with lengthy prison sentences — the types of sentences doled out for high crimes, to say nothing of misdemeanors. Indeed, many of them are straightforward. Altogether, if the impeachment inquiry is limited simply to Trump’s pressure on Ukraine, the charges could amount to more than 10 years in prison.
 

LOL!!

That was already tried in Congress...and it was dismissed. Give it up.

I didn't go any further in that nonsense article.

Look what is still on the table and waiting for the right moment……. THERE ARE 5 ARTICLES STILL ON THE TABLE AND MORE HAVE SURFACED TO BE HEARD BY GRAND JURY.

Republican Mueller did the hard work! 7 Articles of Impeachment
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/06/03/here-are-seven-reasons-trump-should-be-impeached/


Case For Trump Impeachment Goes Beyond Ukraine
Trump Ukraine impeachment: The case extends to six other countries.

A president of the USA practicing*Extortion which*is a criminal offense should be prosecuted accordingly.
*
A president of the USA requesting assistance from a foreign*government*that*could impact an election is against the law. Threatening to*withhold tax dollar subsidies if the*foreign*government*refused is extortion which is*a criminal offense which should be prosecuted accordingly. Impeachment is the easy way out for Rump.

Could STILL be some conspiracy charges coming out*of this as well and of course a certain amount of PERJURY.

Take 18 U.S. Code § 872: “Extortion by officers or employees of the United States.” It’s not hard to grasp:

“Whoever, being an officer, or employee of the United States or any department or agency thereof, or representing himself to be or assuming to act as such, under color or pretense of office or employment commits or attempts an act of extortion, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”

The only question, here, is the definition of extortion. The law describes it as “the extraction of anything of value from another person by threatening or placing that person in fear of injury to any person or kidnapping of any person.” Was the Ukrainian president, or any other person, put in “fear of injury” by Trump’s move?

As Trump’s envoys made clear in their since-disclosed text messages, Ukraine’s cooperation in the investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden was driven by the promise of a White House visit for President Volodymyr Zelensky and the threat of withholding military aid. That’s not just wrong, as Carlson and Patel rightly acknowledge, it’s also a felony, as the president and other Ukrainians no doubt had “fear of injury.”

Attorney General William Barr’s Department of Justice has declined to press charges against Trump, though the House of Representatives is pushing forward with its impeachment inquiry. In the meantime, Trump has said that he will refuse to cooperate with lawful subpoenas — itself a prima facie violation of 2 U.S. Code § 192, “Refusal of witness to testify or produce papers,” punishable by a year in prison.

Coercing his deputies into joining in the conspiracy would also runs afoul of the law. “As I said on the phone, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,” Bill Taylor, the top American diplomat in Ukraine, reiterated in a text message to Trump official Gordon Sondland, strongly suggesting he was pursuing the strategy against his own wishes.

If Taylor felt coerced into helping with “a political campaign,” that implicates 18 U.S. Code § 610, which covers that crime rather clearly under the title: “Coercion of political activity.”

The law reads: “It shall be unlawful for any person to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce, any employee of the Federal Government … to engage in … any political activity.” The sentence caps at three years.


It’s also illegal, according to 18 U.S. Code § 595, when a government official, “in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States, or any department or agency thereof, uses his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President.” That statute could add another year to the sentence.

Prosecutors, in trying to pressure defendants into a plea bargain, often engage in what’s known as “stacking,” where they find every conceivable charge and stack them to the ceiling, threatening decades in prison if the defendant contests all the charges.

A prosecutor who wanted to stack charges against Trump could ding him for 18 U.S. Code § 607, “Place of solicitation,” and 52 U.S. Code § 30121, “Contributions and donations by foreign nationals.” Essentially, it’s illegal to solicit contributions to your presidential campaign from the Oval Office and illegal to solicit from foreign nationals no matter where you do it from: “It shall be unlawful for an individual who is an officer or employee of the Federal Government, including the President … to solicit or receive a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election, while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an officer or employee of the United States, from any person.”

That’s another three years.
 
Donald Trump is not going to be prosecuted for crimes after leaving the presidency. Joe Biden himself has said that such prosecutions would be "troubling" and make future democratic transfers of power in the U.S. difficult.

Joe Biden is not a dictator and Donald Trump Should Be Prosecuted = the bottom line. Politicians need to be prosecuted every time they commit a crime and should not be investigated by their own. Sweeping their crimes under the rug must cease no matter what party.

Don't worry. Prosecuting him will lead to outrage from the moronic community, so it won't happen soon.

'The Intercept' just isn't the same without Greenwald adding his measure of journalistic integrity to balance things out.
He left The Intercept in October 2020. Greenwald is a journalist, constitutional lawyer, and author of four New York Times bestselling books on politics and law.​
Seems that this particular insane asylum has been taken over by the inmates.
 
Donald Trump is not going to be prosecuted for crimes after leaving the presidency. Joe Biden himself has said that such prosecutions would be "troubling" and make future democratic transfers of power in the U.S. difficult.
Biden has no authority to prevent to state of New York from prosecuting Trump.

Reference, please.
 
I think that lots of accusations against The Donald should be investigated...and charged.

Oh, wait? Accusations arent enough? LOL who cares, he doesnt seem to understand that difference anyway...or just doesnt care?

Cool, just take him down on the legal fees.

If the Trump Organization is guilty of any crimes, they shouldn't be ignored simply because he is a former POTUS.
 
Trump is done no matter that he loves making a fool of himself at taxpayers expense ...........

The USA should freeze his assets STAT and maybe that would encourage Trump to excite to Russia although Putin may no longer want the lying fool.

There is more evidence that Joe Biden "interfered" in the Ukraine, than there is Trump did anything wrong at all.

Yet the Media, and the "disloyal opposition" feed on false narratives as if their political lives depend on it.

Yes, and I don't know what to think of all that. Bush and Cheney got away with war crimes and wiretaps of American citizens for the same reason. It just seems that if you are a criminal and want to get away with serious crimes you have two options: escape across the border into Mexico or get yourself elected to the presidency of the United States.

No there isn't. Firsthand witnesses disagree with you, random internet guy, in fact there has been no evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong, but you guys keep sayin' the truth is coming. Where is the indictment again? Oh, that's right, another lie that got thrown out of court. Sheez, these people.

Spare me. :rolleyes:

Biden admitted it himself...or were you NOT aware of his proud refrain "I told them they had to fire that Prosecutor or I would not give them the Billion Dollars...and they fired him?"

THAT is known as a "quid pro quo," in FACT.

Now we have all those allegations of his son's using the association for his business interests in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere...which of course have almost no play in the Media.

However, had this very same scenario involved one of Trump's children, it would be front page news blared out all day every day prior to the election...and AFTER if he had been the "President-Elect."
 
If the Trump Organization is guilty of any crimes, they shouldn't be ignored simply because he is a former POTUS.
I was trying to post 'tongue in cheek' about how all it should take is an accusation for full-on, stop the train, investigations and charges...like The Followers are all lining up for regarding the election results.

Made up nonsense, again, where's the indictment? It's getting thrown out of court. Do you have any idea how desperate you look?
