OP
The specific punishment of 18 U.S. Code § 2071 might be why they are in a panic.

Whether it is a latrine, cesspool, septic tank, clogged toilet--- all "roads" end with Trump and his BS.

(7,655 posts)6. It reminds me of when Trump made the absurd statement
about having to flush the toilet 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once. Now we know what he was taking about. I always just thought he was having so much difficulty because he is so full of shit.

I guess that's just an indication of how exhausted we were. "Trump's shits are so big he has to flush 10-15 times... and he just up and told the world about it?!?! Well, okay...."

(58,785 posts)9. One hoot is that Fox can't just quick-flush it away --
it exploded into public awareness so fast they're forced to cover it, big headlines of denial:
Trump denies report claiming he regularly clogged White House toilets by flushing documents: Fake story 'Categorically untrue and simply made up by a reporter in order to get publicity for a mostly fictitious book,' Trump said
Loyalists will be eager to swallow that, but the yucky visual and sheer ridiculousness may mean some won't be able to make it go away even with 10 or 15 attempts.
