Why?
>>If you rob a bank and you drop the money on your way out the door do you think you won’t get charged with bank robbery?
If you walk into someone’s office and roll their chair into the hallway (even in a bank) do you believe that you will be charged with theft of that chair?
How many times do you have to spin around it in to qualify?
“it’s gonna be used”
The quality of journalism has gone to sh!t since millennials took over newsrooms.
Hopefully they recovered her special broomstick she had in it..
By the Senate someplace
It was moved
I can not believe on Free Republic I should hear the braying echo of support for ruthless federal prosecution of the act of seditionist lectern misappropriation! Oh, they shall verily prosecute this desecration of furniture as it shows the awful depths to which we evil supporters of Trump will sink!
Muh Respect For The Halls Of Government! The Sacred Office Furniture! It has failed! Surely the feds will prosecute me and my offspring for my failing respect towards the Rulers Of Law! What shall my defense be! Oh! The ignominy! The Huge Manatee!
No doubt. Bison Horn Guy and Lectern Guy are the images that will be remembered from this farce of an “insurrection.” Their corniness totally undercuts the fake pearl clutching seriousness that the Democrats and the media are trying to peddle.
Wish they would have taken her beloved gavel and stuffed it down her turkey neck.
Is it hers or the House’s Lectern?
Darn-I was so hoping it had ‘powered’ a wood stove..
It never left the building. The “theft” charge is dicey.
It doesn’t belong to her. She just uses it while serving her position.
Assuming you don't move it and keep it.
Per @Casey_J_Wooten, Pelosi’s spokesman says the lectern was moved by the rioter from the speaker’s office to the Senate side of the Capitol but was not damaged, and never left the building. https://t.co/xW8AyaI9fg— Tal Kopan (@TalKopan) January 13, 2021
Have they checked it for a Chicom bug?
Correct....posing for pictures.....
If he intended to steal it..... why didn’t he? No-one would have stopped him...
All he did was re-arrange the furniture...
Make sure his lawyer uses that as the cornerstone of his defense.
If he intended to steal it..... why didn’t he? No-one would have stopped him.
Still haven’t answered......Is it because you don’t have an answer for intent?
Because I don't have an answer for your dizzying intellect. "Your honor, it's true my client was in the Capitol that day, breaking into Speaker Pelosi's office. But his actions after that were not criminal. He saw the Speaker's podium, thought it belonged in the House Chamber, and was attempting to help the Speaker by moving it from one location to another. He had no intent to steal it." Go with that defense and let me know how you do.
Now you are just being snarky.....
So let’s use a more appropriate analogy that your “dizzying” intellect may comprehend.....
Someone breaks into your house. They move all the furniture from your living room into your dining room and vice versa...
The police catch him two days later because he posed sitting on your couch in the dining room.
Do the police charge him with theft or just breaking and entering?
