    Person X was Donald Trump's Campaign Chairman.

    Person X (presuming conviction) is a convicted of bank fraud, money laundering, and illegal tax avoidance.

    And that's just this trial -- there's another one coming.

    He was your campaign chairman, Donald.  Come on.  That's how it rolls up to him.  He collected a crew of con men, crooks, and grifters to be part of his team.  That's, ummm, some bad judgment.  At best.

    should've also brought in Jack Abramoff for good measure...

    So, if Manafort is convicted in this case, do the surly lawyers think he's more or less likely to try to make a deal on the other charges?

    depends on a multitude of factors...

    the butthurt in here is going cost Surly a subscriber. 
     
    In all seriousness, I am not attacking anyone or starting shit. 
     
    I still get threatened(LMFAO) with neg. I will not donate or subscribe until the issue is fixed. And maybe that's cool with Surly...
     
    WTF ever.

  4. from the video above..."It's kind of disconcerting to realize that the best candidate for the most powerful position in the world is a lizard."

    that has to be the greatest crazy thing ever uttered in the history of crazy...

  5. Jones claimed that he had expected the ban and had prepared for it. He urged his followers to react to the ban by buying more of his InfoWars dietary supplements, imploring them to “feed your gladiator.”

    lol...

    LSU never offered Tongue or Constantin, and never pushed for Harris. They landed Starks, and Aranda chose to go with Marcel Brooks and a 3* from Alabama over those mentioned above, for better or for worse

    Bama gave Harris a take it or leave it commitment ultimatum awhile back and Harris didn't commit. Then in June when Harris tried to commit, Bama told him they weren't ready to take his commitment. Don't be surprised if they circle back, and when A&M's season is down the drain, it should be academic at that point 

    that "some 3* from Alabama" will be one of our best LB recruits, stars be damned.  kid is big, quick and flat brings the wood.

    That’s why I said “if you could ask for one”

    I didn’t see Wilbur Ross on the witness sheet. If you’re going to slander a man then you better bring him in and lead the jury to know who he is. You can’t just have prosecution say “Paul manafart uses a bank Wilbur Ross is involved in and Wilbur Ross is a bad dude. Trust us. That can only mean that manafart is guilty of all crimes he could ever be accused of.”

    what im getting at us something the judge has already made clear. Paul manafart won’t be found guilty of crimes because he isn’t likeable or because he has expensive habits or because the prosecution wants to make it a 1% vs. 99% game. It’s a giant waste of time and resources and the judge clearly isn’t having that. If that is what mueller has built his case around (just like he built his case against a Russian he thought would never show up to court) then he doesn’t have a great case. 

    The better route to go has been handed to the prosecution by the defense. At the end of the day manafort is responsible for the pass through income of his company. If they are trying to paint it on gates then prosecution should paint gates as guilty and then show that he acted at the direction of manafort and that manafort got the benefits of his actions. At the end of the day, gates doesn’t cut the checks for manafort taxes. Manafort signs those. 

    oh...okay, counselor.

    your reference to "this dickhead's character" wasn't to Ross, as you so deftly tried to move the goalpost; you meant that about Manafort.  that, too, was specifically who i was referencing.

    your fear is that this character will bled over into changing public opinion of your beloved team, the GOP.  as well you should be afraid of that...they're fucking scum.

    So everyone who has ever transferred money via wire from that bank is guilty of something? The owners of the bank are completely irrelevant to the case unless there is direct communication between them and manafart. 

    I think he’s a scumbag but guilt by association and being rich isn’t a crime. Lay out the taxes and the income/distributions of the company and get this done. Could almost be a summary judgement if the documents are there and you could ask for one. No reason to sling as much mud as possible. Is this about the dickhead’s character or about his crime?

    sometimes the two are inseparable and go hand in hand, and there are specific rules of evidence that allow the for introduction of character evidence to prove the crime.

    Cutthroat is the male fit lump so yeah, he's thread worthy. And since he's a social media whore he has plenty of material for us to laugh at. I doubt that he'd ever find out about it, but if someone told him he was being laughed at on a message board he'd surely go off the rails, right?

    Spoiler alert: They are 100% calling Gates

    damn straight they are...and the prosecution could very well be baiting them to call Gates hostile because of the risk involved in taking someone on cross without having their direct on the table prior to the examination.

    Yeah, that series of tweets is bizarre and stupid. "Opening the door" has no relevance here.  The government is free to call Gates if they want to.  I think the strategy is, if the defense blames Gates, and he takes the stand and gets cut up both as a general witness and as an informant, that only hurts the governement's case and plays into the defense's hand.  If they can make their case without putting a snitch on the stand, they're probably better off doing so.

    There is a notion, valid, that if you advertise to the jury in your opening, that they will hear something from a witness, or evidence on a topic will be presented, and you fail to produce that evidence, that creates juror dissonance and hurts credibility.  However, the defense didn't advertise that Gates would confess on the stand.  There's no issue there with the defense calling him.

    Spicey sounds like a third year law student with too much time on her hands.

    yep...that series of tweets is nonsensical.  even if the prosecution doesn't call Gates, the defense can in their case in chief and treat him as a hostile witness. 

  12. i fucking hate judges like that...always right in the middle of your shit at every turn of the case and predicate laid down. 

    leave the lawyers alone and let them try their case.

    The paddle strokes are hysterical.  Sarah is doing nothing but putting on the brakes, and Carson and his pal are basically thwarting any attempt to go in the direction Trump is looking.

    have YOU ever paddled Valley Forge before, motherfucker?
