This post from The Conservative Treehouse shows what can happen with the government doesn’t care about right and wrong:
For more than 25 years, I worked in real estate finance. I know of a case, many years ago, where a Federal prosecutor wanted to hurt someone. The”someone” neglected to list among dozens of liabilities a small loan guarantee when the “someone” applied for a loan on a real estate project. The failure to list the guarantee was unintentional. That “someone” paid back the loan applied for as well as the loan subject to the guarantee. The bank testified that the failure to list the small guarantee made no difference in their decision to advance funds. In fact, the bank said the guarantee proved irrelevant in their underwriting. Nonetheless: the Federal prosecutor argued that the “someone” violated the law and defrauded the bank eventhough the bank didn’t think it had been defrauded; eventhough no one lost a dime and both banks made the monetary return expected and were repaid in full on time without a payment ever being late. The result: the “someone” went to Federal prison for two years. With that, I lost all faith in Federal prosecutors and in the judicial system.
The Pentagon Papers case was decided decades ago, and I believe it determined that the press isn’t liable for the legality of the leaks supplied to it. (That’s different from the press illegally producing the leaks.)
No, the Dimocrats are determined to get Trump on the ballot and make the election about him instead of the Poobah of Putz, Biden. It’s stopping Trump from winning the general that the Dims are determined to do.
In the film The Dark Knight Rises, it is the judges who are among the first to be dealt with.
WOULD THE JUDGE FEEL THE SAME IF HIS TAX RETURNS WERE REVEALED???
Frivolous lawsuit?
Yes, E. Jean Carroll's suits were frivolous.
They are not liable only if they did not participate in the crime.
