• DOJ: No Charges Against Biden - Simple Old Man With Poor Memory

    From BTR1701@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 8 21:36:04 2024
    Even Biden's own DOJ says he's basically a dementia-addled old man who's not competent enough to stand trial over retaining and disseminating classified information after he left office as VP.

    So that means Trump gets a pass when it comes to the same charges,
    right? Yeah, sure....

    Trump kept the docs in locked rooms with secret service agents around. Biden kept them in his garage, office, another office he hadn't even used in years and often in cardboard boxes on his garage floor.

    Yes, by all means, we need to charge Trump but not the brain-addled guy who can't remember that heads of state he recently talked to who died years ago.

    I don't want this case against Trump pursued. The others are far more
    important especially the Georgia case, but that one requires a special prosecutor now.

    Biden also read verbatim from notebooks containing classified info to
    the guy ghost-writing his book, who was not cleared for the info himself
    and who, one assumes, went on to publish it in the book.

    Why do you think that is necessary? If it's over the personal
    relationship that Fanni Willis had it's my understanding there's
    nothing untoward there.

    If the Georgia Republican legislature members have their way it may
    not be able to go forward. I heard a week or so ago they are
    attempting to pass legislation that will basically make Rico cases
    (which this falls under) legal so Trump would no longer be guilty of a
    crime in Georgia. Though it would also apply to anyone else so yea?

    She's named as the co-respondent in the fuckhead's divorce. That they
    were lovers is the entire reason why she gave him the contract. He
    performed no work for the taxpayers.

    She's highly unethical. Trump's prosecutor must be pure as the driven
    snow. There are plenty of choices of prosecutors elsewhere in Georgia to
    choose from with excellent reputations.

    If they can tax you retroactively, as California frequently does, why not?

    I hadn't heard that. Last I had heard was that they knew each other
    and had had a relationship but that didn't suggest there was a clear

    she shouldn't have been given the case even though that case has

    I don't know either. When I heard it I couldn't believe that they
    would be willing to make any number of criminal cases get tossed
    because they were no longer criminal just to protect one man, but then
    there's a lot going on that I never thought I would see.

    That's how it all became public knowledge. The wife filed that he had

    No. She hired him to prosecute Trump for unethical reasons. If she had
    prepared the case herself or had an assistant prepare the case, she
    wouldn't have violated legal ethics not to mention state purchasing
    laws.

    Wow! Are you saying a REPUBLICAN prosecutor gave an opinion that he has
    ZERO expertise or business giving?

    Biden just declared that Mexico borders Gaza.

    She's an elected official; I have no idea how she'd be removed. Trump's co-defendant is the one who raised the ethical concerns about her. They
    are awaiting a hearing, I think on the 16th, to discuss the appointment
    of an independent counsel, in which she'd be off the case.

    Georgiaıs governor, Brian Kemp, signed a bill on Friday (May 5 2023)
    that makes it possible to oust elected district attorneys from office
    if they are believed to not be adequately enforcing the law. Itıs a
    move that is seen a thinly veiled power grab to push out Democratic prosecutors, include some who said they would not prosecute
    abortion-related crimes.

    The new law sets up a statewide Prosecuting Attorneys Statewide
    Qualifications Commission with the power to investigate complaints
    against district attorneys and remove them if they have sufficient
    cause. The law outlines a series of offenses for which a prosecutor can
    be removed, including ³willful and persistent failure² to carry out
    their duties and categorically refusing to prosecute crimes they are
    required by law to pursue.

    Or, as in the case in Los Angeles, will not prosecute most any crime at
    all.

    Our D.A. currently has over 14,000 cases sitting on his desk unprosecuted
    and he goes around bragging that he's saved California criminals from
    100,000 combined hours of prison time since he's been in office.

    That's a new one on me: a district attorney who sees it as a boast how good
    he is at keeping criminals on the streets.

    We need a law like this but there's no way the reptiles in Sacramento would ever pass one.

    Yeah, well, being unable to get Trump convicted 'cuz she hired her
    incompetant boyfriend to prosecute doesn't sound like something she'll
    get ousted for. She's throwing away the best chance of convicting Trump,
    and on one crime he can't pardon himself for should he be re-elected.

    Why do you think that is necessary? If it's over the personal
    relationship that Fanni Willis had it's my understanding there's
    nothing untoward there.

    She's named as the co-respondent in the fuckhead's divorce. That they
    were lovers is the entire reason why she gave him the contract. He
    performed no work for the taxpayers.

    She's highly unethical. Trump's prosecutor must be pure as the driven
    snow. There are plenty of choices of prosecutors elsewhere in Georgia to >>> choose from with excellent reputations.

    If the Georgia Republican legislature members have their way it may
    not be able to go forward. I heard a week or so ago they are
    attempting to pass legislation that will basically make Rico cases
    (which this falls under) legal so Trump would no longer be guilty of a >>>> crime in Georgia. Though it would also apply to anyone else so yea?

    Can a criminal law be repealed retroactively? I don't see how that's
    possible but what do I know.

    If they can tax you retroactively, as California frequently does, why
    not?


    You're supposed to be a lawyer.  You're supposed to know that's bullshit.

    Missed that class too, did we?


    My theory is Twat did study law, did poorly, and was too stupid to pass
    the Bar exam. How this dovetails to becoming a Secret Service agent is
    beyond me, but doesn't sound the least bit interesting anyway.

    So that means Trump gets a pass when it comes to the same charges,
    right? Yeah, sure....

    Trump kept the docs in locked rooms with secret service agents around.
    Biden
    kept them in his garage, office, another office he hadn't even used in
    years
    and often in cardboard boxes on his garage floor.

      Yes, by all means, we need to charge Trump but not the brain-addled
    guy who
    can't remember that heads of state he recently talked to who died
    years ago.


    He kept them in the shitter at Mar a Lardo.


    Presumably they were more safe from ketchup attacks there.


    He showed them around in Bedminister NJ.

    Fuck off.  At least Biden doesn't think Nikki Haley was running Congress
    on January 6th.
