“The case appears to rest on flimsy and conflicting evidence at best, has been brought on grounds that are rarely prosecuted and was filed over the objection of career lawyers within the Justice Department who did not think there was probable cause to bring the case.”

Looks open and shut to me, but i am not a journalist. Now the Trump case looked like it was based on flimsy and conflicting evidence at best, having been brought on grounds that are rarely prosecuted and was filed by partisan career lawyers within the Justice Department who were Democrats.

It only takes so many cross examinations of a defendant regarding “did you recklessly check boxes at random on the contract or did you intentionally lie?”

In the mid 1990s, my wife and I bought a farm while living in town. The farm had a residence which brought the 2nd home issue into play. When we were making the loan, the bank would not let us randomly check boxes before theyu explained every step of the contract to include the warnings about perjury and fraud. Lettica the Lump lied -— big time.

What the government will have to prove in establishing the charges before a jury is that James knowingly lied when she claimed that she intended to use the home as a secondary residence at the time of...

A high-profile attorney knows when she is lying. But, high-profile people are under the impression that they're above the law, especially when you are the one representing the law. It's why there are so many crooks in politics and government and in law-enforcement.

Wishful thinking on the part of the ersatz journalist who wrote this. He’s not reporting on what is, but what he wishes it to be.

As to the “career lawyers” who objected? It wouldn’t be to difficult to research their history and see where their loyalties lie. DUH.

Finally, “intent”. We have a career “high powered” attorney who prosecutes people for this exact crime. Yet she unintentially commits the same crime? That’s gonna take some PT Barnum salesmanship on the part of her lawyers to sell that cow patty to any but an all democrat jury.
