Clinton Lawyer: FBI Raid Designed to Disqualify Trump from “Holding Any Office” Ever Again

According to Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, the FBI raid would disqualify Trump from “holding any office” ever again.
This comes from Marc Elias, the man who was responsible for spreading the (debunked) rumors of Trump-Russia collusion.
Elias points to code 18 U.S. Code § 2071:
(a)Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b)Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.
