I prosecuted thousands of people n 25 years. Some of them held prominent positions in government and corporate America. Many of them were exceptionally intelligent. And I can’t think of one of the top of my head that anyone would think that committing that crime would give them any more than “zero advantage”.
That is not a valid argument. People and governments all the time do what seems to be a “zero advantage” action. And they all have one thing in common ... every single one of them thinks they will get away with it. It’s never a case of looking at the consequences if you get caught.
Ron Paul’s argument is ludicrous. Does that mean Putin did do it? No. Not enough facts yet. But the Paul argument is absurd.
Ron Paul’s always absurd. He’s just got to stfu.
Rand needs to distance himself big time.
Really? You never prosecuted anyone for robbery who thought he could benefit by having more money?
