```So, what’s this case even about? Trump allegedly slept with Stormy Daniels back in 2006. Then Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet, according to Cohen himself. According to Cohen, Trump knew nothing about the payment. The settlement agreement contains pseudonyms for Trump and Daniels, and was funneled through an LLC. This could make Cohen’s payment to Daniels an in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign in violation of campaign finance law. Furthermore, if Trump knew about it, that could constitute criminal conspiracy to violate campaign finance law. Former Democratic presidential candidate and senator, John Edwards, was tried on precisely those grounds; a jury split on five counts and acquitted on a sixth before the DOJ decided to drop the case. ```

```Ironically, Trump could have avoided all of this by merely paying Daniels directly.```

interesting

can somebody who isn't the guardian or reddit explain to me the Trump-russia connection scandal investigation thing? Haven't heard anyone who doesn't have a leftist agenda talk about it. Whats going on? Has anything substantial been found?

It's bullshit

There you go

What the Ape said

Lol i just don't get this whole paranoia over russian bots

Like, even if they are spouting propagandistic half-truths and russian talking points, it doesn't justify banning them outright

on principle

Scape goats

They are trying to find a excuse for their mistakes and lack of competence

hmmm

<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

Russian press is a rogue player, both sides want them out of their sandbox.

but... but... RT is right wing propaganda... <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

/sarcasm

makes you think

They might be shitting on the left now, but they have no loyalty. Can't have that in America.

dunno, whenever I've seen a political RT story, it looks like a headline the guardian would run

not that i've studied it real intensely or anything

I will put this as bluntly as I know how: There is no way that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York would have sought or executed a search warrant against the president’s lawyer without overpowering evidence to support the action. The legal standard for such a search requires only probable cause that criminal activity is taking place. Under normal circumstances, which these are not, the prudential and policy factors counseling against such an action would be powerful.
For starters, the Justice Department is institutionally cautious about searches involving attorneys acting in their role as attorneys. As Paul Rosenzweig noted, “the U.S. Attorney’s Manual has an entire section that limits how and when the offices of an attorney may be searched. Realizing full well that such searches are in derogation of the value of the [attorney-client] privilege, the manual requires high-level approvals, the exhaustion of other investigative avenues, and specifies procedures that are to be followed to limit the intrusion on privileged documents.” Moreover, the Justice Department would have been additionally cautious about seeking any warrant against this particular lawyer—precisely because doing so makes clear that a ring is closing around the president. Going after a prominent person’s lawyer for matters related to his representation of the client is, after all, an aggressive act toward the client, not just toward the lawyer. And Trump is, as he puts it, a counterpuncher.

This is the kind of step that would predictably elicit a reaction. The Justice Department simply would not take such an action lightly or without evidence that emphatically supports it. Add these prudential, legal and policy factors together and they cumulatively suggest that the evidence supporting the warrant application likely exceeds—probably by far—what is legally required.

SO impeach Trump and let Pence fight the Syrian World War 3

```7. The FBI Never Treated Hillary Clinton This Way. This is perfectly obvious. Hillary wasn’t merely allowed to delete 33,000 documents from her computer server three weeks after revelations that she had a private computer server, she was protected by the DOJ and the FBI, which allowed her personal attorney, Cheryl Mills — who was also under investigation — to invoke attorney-client privilege to stop the FBI from investigating Hillary’s email scheme.```

In this case, no, considering his vacancy means another person with an R next to his name fills it

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your email.

The right to freedom of opinion and expression should be one of the cornerstones of any society. This right includes "the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media, regardless of frontiers" (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19). For more than forty years, Amnesty International (AI) has defended this right against attempts by governments across the globe to stifle religious dissent, political opposition and artistic creativity. ,

However, the right to freedom of expression is not absolute -- neither for the creators of material nor their critics. It carries responsibilities and it may, therefore, be subject to restrictions in the name of safeguarding the rights of others. In particular, any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence cannot be considered legitimate exercise of freedom of expression. Under international standards, such "hate speech" should be prohibited by law.,

good lord I'm laughing my toosh off

I nutted upon seeing that title

if Styx wins a governorship, a new dawn is truly upon the horizon

fuck yea it will. Though I would love to see Styx run for Congress after he become a governor, but he said D.C is too drenched in deep state muck for him to want to, which is understandable

This New America will be so glorious.

I can't even imagine what his opponent is going to think about it

Like who the fuck am I running against?

How do I even react to this?

It isn't dressed up in a suit spewing spin and rhetorical crap, how do I even?

Styx for governor

imagine styx showing up to a debate bare chested

omfg

fuck

yes

@Deleted User What's your opinion on Service guaranteeing Citizenship?

He said if he delivers a state address he'll be wearing the jacket.

I know. I love the audacity

I'm gonna savor every goddamn second of that
