Why, for inexplicable reason it doesn’t bar him from being president. Hell, I don’t think an inevitable conviction would do it either. He’s raking in the money, why would he stop?

I feel like a conviction from the espionage act should absolutely bar you from holding public office. It shouldn't be up to Congress to disqualify someone. Especially when the GOP would rather dive into full fascism before helping anyone who isn't a billionaire.

Republicans win 2024, immediately convict the top 10 Dem candidates for “espionage”.

It’s frustrating, but imagine how, if it were otherwise, trumped-up charges with convictions in favorable jurisdictions and courts would be used by opposing administrations.

That judge in the 5th Circuit in Texas who keeps issuing abortion and contraception rulings would happily railroad Biden for a Trump DOJ.
