See post 235.
No, I just threw them in the cooler with a unbagged bag of ice.
I cleaned them when I get home.
But it has been 30 years or so since I fished in the Chesapeake for blues and rockfish (striped bass)!
On this matter, the lawyers for Manafort only care about their client, and their client is getting screwed.
The judge owes him legal relief if he finds Manafort to be a victim here. Certainly the judge could restrict his ruling to just this prosecution of Manafort without getting into the legal bounds on a Special Counsel and the Justice Department?
Yes. But I still don't know what such a ruling would be based on. The SC statutes seem to give the SC a lot of latitude WRT "other matters." What we need is an AG/DAG who is willing to rein in Mueller.
My understanding is that treason is a subset of sedition. There is a foreign component in treason (at the benefit and/or a foreign enemy) whereas sedition is from domestic sources.
In “Blacks Law Dictionary” it says this about treason -” ‘treason’ consists of two elements: adherence to the enemy, and rendering him aid and comfort.” Same source the distinction between “treason” and a “sedition” is that sedition TENDS toward treason but is short of it.
We may be splitting hairs. But the refusal of the United States to prosecute Confederate officers etc. was because the insurrection was not for the benefit of a foreign power so it amounted to “sedition”.
Yeah, I do and I remember where that attempt wound up.
They would have gone after a younger justice it seems to me. He wasn’t in tip top condition
Thanks!
More difficult to convince the public that a younger Justice suffered from heart condition. Every body expects the older ones to keel over sooner.
