Trump Administration Felonies

[James48]

1. 18 USC 201

Last week Trump tweeted that If Federal Employees, who are now getting Social Security payroll taxes suspended from their paychecks- if they want that money forgiven, they have to vote for him for re-election.

That’s an attempt to bribe a federal officer. That’s a 15-year felony, plus a fine of 3 times the amount offered in the bribe. Any law-abiding Attorney General would prosecute that. Barr won’t. But it should be on the record for prosecution when Trump leaves office.

“ When we win I, as your President, will totally forgive ALL deferred payroll taxes with money from the General Fund,” he wrote. “Sleepy Joe Biden will do the opposite, he will raise your taxes and DESTROY our Country!”- Donald J Trump, Sept 10, 2020.

In a statement Friday, Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., who is among a group of lawmakers pushing for the administration to make the tax deferral optional, accused Trump of trying to “bribe” federal workers.

“The president’s mandatory payroll tax deferrals shows disrespect for America’s military and civil service, and Trump is making it clear that this is intended as a form of political blackmail,” Beyer said. “Trump’s openly corrupt message is, ‘Vote for me and I will pay you, otherwise your paychecks will decrease in January.’ This is corruption as public policy, and both the Constitution and the law make it clear that Trump cannot do what he says.”
