Revelations about Republican Members of Congress, seeking Presidential Pardons, for their Roles in Trump's attempted Coup, could Disqualify them from Office and Jail time, according to a Top Legal Scholar.
Ambassador Norm Eisen, who served as Co-counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during Trump's first impeachment, shared his thoughts on Twitter following the hearing.
"Congressmen helping Trump on & before 1/6 & then demanding pardons. Makes me think of 18 USC 201: A public official who corruptly seeks anything of value in return for an official act or colluding in fraud shall be imprisoned for up to 15 years & disqualified from office," Eisen wrote.
Here's the List:
Andy Biggs (R-AZ, 5th District)
Mo Brooks (R-AL, 5th District)
Matt Gaetz (R-FL, 1st District)
Louie Gohmert (R-TX, 1st District)
Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA, 14th District)
Scott Perry (R-PA, 10th District )
And they may Not be the Only People with Legal Liability under the Statue.
Law Prof. Jennifer Taub, Author of the Book, Big Dirty Money: Making White Collar Criminals Pay, wrote that it may also apply to Jeffrey Clark.
"I just heard what sounds like bribery of a public official under 18 USC 201 -- when Jeff Clark allegedly said he would not take Rosen's job as Acting AG if Rosen and the Acting DAG would sign the lie-filled letter to be sent to Georgia," she wrote.
