Yup, perjury trap.
In United States criminal law, a perjury trap is a form of prosecutorial strategy, which is sometimes claimed to be prosecutorial misconduct in which a prosecutor calls a witness to testify, typically before a grand jury, with the intent of coercing the witness into perjury (intentional deceit under oath).
I think he’s most at risk in Georgia.
Do you think Trump is guilty?
I plead the 5th. Do you believe I think he’s guilty or not?
Stop wasting my time.
Wasted your time? You asked. I replied. From my reply what did you conclude?
And like my first reply, Trump has claimed those who take the 5th are guilty.
Im surprised. He said only guilty people plead guilty. What is he doing? Why would he go against his own belief?
Only will use his own words against him. Don’t give ammo.
You are right. The FBI raid did give him cover for this NY disposition.
1. If you plead the 5th in a civil case between two non-government parties, you are effectively conceding the case to your opponent.
2. In his career, he only advised a client to plead the 5th ONCE … and that was a case where the client’s conduct was so egregiously stupid that involved a real crime.
3. The client in that case was one of the defendants. Interestingly, in that particular case the defendant’s pleading actually HELPED his case. That’s because in response to the 5th Amendment plea, the defendant’s insurance company filed the papers to withdraw from the case because the 5th Amendment plea made the defendant’s conduct — regardless of what it may have been — uninsurable. Without an insurance company on the hook for a large settlement, the Plaintiff quickly agreed to settle the case for far less than they wanted.
4. This conversation with the lawyer took place in the case where I was involved because the discovery process exposed so much wrongdoing on the part of the PLAINTIFF that the Defendant (my side) won the case. When I asked the lawyer why the Plaintiff’s corporate officers didn’t plead the 5th, he told me something interesting. He said that in my state, a corporate officer or director who pleads the 5th amendment in a civil lawsuit where the company is a party to the case must resign their positions in the company and retain their own lawyers because they have an automatic conflict of interest and cannot serve in a fiduciary role for the corporation anymore.
Good! It’s another witch hunt! The NY AG Letitia James should be impeached and imprisoned for abuse of power!!!!!
I doubt it. Calling up the governor and secretary of state to ask what the heck is going on isn't a crime. Cobb county quit vote tabulations during the middle of the night because of a supposed toilet leak..
Good for him! I’d stop cooperating with these a-holes and play hardball. He’s got the money to do it. They’re going to ruin him completely if he doesn’t.
I’d prop my feet up and say 5 the whole time
I think GA is where his biggest exposure is. Could be wrong.
Good! 👍
The Democrat October Surprise will be Trumps arrest
I would say if they hadn’t ransacked Mar-a-Lago yesterday he would have probably cooperated with the witch hunt.
