.thereidout Blog: Trump's flagrant disregard for the law might give the attorney general a chance to pursue justice without appearing political.
I’ve always found Garland’s vow to depoliticize the DOJ somewhat understandable on its face and completely unfeasible in practice.: Trump’s mishandling of classified documents could be Garland’s best bet yet at holding Trump accountable without seeming explicitly political.
Kirschner said Trump likely violated a law known as 18 U.S. Code 2071, which prohibits the “concealment, removal or mutilation” of federal documents. As Kirschner noted in his conversation with Reid, the crime is punishable by either a fine or three years in prison. And — notably — offenders are barred from holding office in the future.
Personally, I’ve always found Garland’s vow to depoliticize the DOJ somewhat understandable on its face and completely unfeasible in practice. At a time when the Republican Party — led by Trump — is waging an assault on democracy, it’s foolish to think any methods of holding its leaders accountable will be seen as anything but political.
But Trump’s flagrant disregard for the law — generally, but certainly in this case — gives the attorney general an opportunity to pursue some form of justice against Trump while maintaining an outwardly apolitical stance.

The RNC voted on Friday to censure Cheney and Kinzinger for accepting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s invitation to join a House panel looking into the events that led to and took place during the siege of the Capitol for the first time since the Brits set fire to it in 1814.
