There's umm this thing called evidence

so they're trying to cling onto the lying to the FBI

they won't accept anything new into the case's records

or in this case, lack there of. Boy I guess that means I can go plead guilty to something with no evidence of any kind and I go to jail

@Tel Locus I would think that would favor Flynn, being ya know, no evidence.

basically, overall it's becoming more and more obvious that this is entierly a political persecution

Welcome, @SapphireScribe.

but yeah reading the notes and messages and all the stuff. It looks like there needs to be some restructuring around this. Unfortunately judges can't be persecuted for being political there was an entire impeachment over it

then again I don't know if impeachments count into precedence

Judges should be able to be impeached FOR being political. It's the whole reason why they're Judges and their terms are for life.

if so then perjury is not an impeachable offense

than you Billy

?

Bill Clinton's impeachment case

Welcome, <@!248602935330603008>.

they ruled that perjury isn't enough of an offense to be impeachmment over

found it, the Samuel Chase impeachment trial

I was referring to Judges being removed/impeached for abiding to political influence

They are not suppose to be political in any way.

That's why they have the terms they have.

basically Samuel Chase was tried for ruling with political bais

Ohhh

I see now

He was the CJ for the Clinton trial

?

I honestly don't know who the CJ was at that time.

CJ?

Chief Justice.

no gods no, Samuel Chase was a Jefferson era judge

https://www.fjc.gov/history/timeline/samuel-chase-impeached

yeah that guy

I spent ages combing through old records reading up on that case

William Rehnquist...He was CJ

yeah

During the Clinton Impeachment trial

sorry if I got confusing trying to info dump before work

overall the chase impeachment trials kinda make it hard to remove judges for political bias

Seems to me that in the Chase case, political bias wouldn't count under "high crimes and misdemeanors" and wasn't an "indictable offense".

Ideally, though, judges should be impartial...

Though I'm definitely not a lawyer just like legal smackdowns

Flynn did a doozy a few days ago
