Trump GA Indictment (1 Viewer)

I may be jumping the gun, but I thought we should probably keep the 3 major indictments in their separate threads.

And this Tweet reminded me that it looks like Monday could be the day.

Yes and No. It was the lying under oath that bought the impeachment charge.

I suspect had he come clean to begin with, they still would have tried to impeach him. Same result really.

But yes, you're correct.

Right, and with Willis it is the person she was having sex with buying her gifts.

The root of both of them is a sexual relationship.

Yes and No. It was the lying under oath that bought the impeachment charge.

Which according to Bill Barr (see his efforts to drop the charges against Mike Flynn) was not a material lie, so it should not have led to any kind of legal actions.

And the whole affair thing wasn’t even the reason for the impeachment inquiry. It was what Ken Starr had to go with because he couldn’t prove any of the corruption he was sent to find about Whitewater. He was roundly criticized for his choices and ridiculed for his ever-broadening probe that was desperate to find something, anything to impeach Clinton for.

The courts are not supposed to operate in a purely political manner, like impeachment inquiries, which are inherently political.

That depends on what the definition of “was” was.

That impeachment was a true farce, which is why it rightly helped Clinton.

Yeah, exactly. I personally love it when I hear people who hate Clinton bring that up. Anyone who brings that up as some kind of indication of how corrupt Clinton was clearly does not understand what the whole "definition of is" thing was all about.

Yep, his highest approval rating came right after his impeachment.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Bill Clinton is handling his job as president?

I remember watching the trial begin. Chief justice William Renquist walks out and
takes his seat. A few minutes into the proceedings I got the feeling he was thinking
this shirt is a waste of my time.

This guy is a white collar crime law professor at GWU. I think his take is a reasonable one. It’s a little long but I think it’s worth it.

Ultimately, the last tweet says exactly how I feel about this. Incredibly reckless and poor judgement indeed. Whether the judge gives them a favorable ruling, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. That this even a discussion is something Willis probably won't live down anytime soon. I personally think she should withdraw from the case and let someone else handle it. But it seems like they're intent on seeing this through. I hope it's the right choice.

I agree it was poor judgement. But it has nothing to do with the case, she shouldn’t be made to withdraw.

Cheseboro has taken a plea deal. I think this is more important than Powell - Cheseboro was closer to the architecture of the conspiracy.

Things have gotten more difficult for Cheseboro, former Harvard law grad now facing multiple felony counts and likely more.

Good, I hope they nail his arse to the wall.

Seriously, Harvard may want to look at their admission requirements or implement some type of assessment program. How stupid can you be? Prosecutors gave you every opportunity to come clean. Now that immunity is about to go bye-bye. Idiot.

Accident, my arse.
