President* Trump on Tuesday apparently began deleting his tweets supporting Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) in Alabama's Senate GOP primary runoff after Strange lost the race to former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore.It's probably illegal as all fuck for Trump to delete his tweets.
And it may be an impeachable offense for him to do that:
Subsection (b) of 18 U.S.C. § 2071 contains a similar prohibition specifically directed at custodians of public records. Any custodian of a public record who "willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys (any record) shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States."
I'm curious if an entire branch of the government can be arrested and impeached for obstruction of justice, for not doing anything about such obvious crimes.

Didn't Mr. Trump repeat the Nixon rule, "If the President does it, that means it's not illegal," or words to that effect? Or am I starting to hallucinate?
ReplyDeleteRoy Moore also announced “…my god-given politics have not altered one iota, not one biblical jot nor tiddle, don’t you give a widow’s mite credit to back-sliders who say otherwise. I fully support President trump’s plan to kill poor people, most of them trump voters, by spiking Obamacare in the head with a spike and tax reforming rich people richer and poor heathen people sincerley (sic) dead…”
