He who controls the definition of words, controls the argument.
Breaking the law is the very DEFINITION of criminal activity, of crime.
Circular reasoning. “I didn’t THINK I was breaking the law, therefore no law was broken, and no crime happened.”
Besides, somebody else was doing the same thing, and nothing happened to THEM.
I guess General Petraeus did not have anything happen to him.
Ignorance of the law is not, and never has been, any excuse for breaking it.
Ah, so secret laws and secret courts is a good thing?
And somebody else’s bad behavior is never an excuse for your own bad behavior.
