If you think criticism of Trump’s lies makes someone a “leftist,” you might be a Trump cultist.

    Good, jem. That's precisely what the government's attorney would say at her trial. Now tell us, precisely, what her defense attorney will say to the jury. And then tell us what the jury is going to say. And then you'll understand why she wasn't prosecuted.

    Also, jem, because of your law training you've learned to carefully parse words. I am confident then, that you know the differences between: 'can be,' 'should be,' might be,' and 'is,' and therefore I am also confident you read correctly: 'Lack of criminal intent can be a reason why successful prosecution is unlikely.'

    As one of ET's great legal minds you'll know there are other aspects besides intent, one of which is damages. Life could be so much simpler were there only laws, lawyers and judges and no juries -- juries that never went to law school.

    Well boys, Hillary is not out of the woods by a long shot in terms of prosecution. It was widely reported in January of 2018 that the Clinton Foundation has been under investigation by the FBI since about January of 2017.

    In fact, the Justice Department has launched a new parallel inquiry specifically into whether the Clinton Foundation engaged in any pay-to-play politics while she was Secretary of State.

    Schneiderman is doing a good job of tamping things down.

    If a Russian oligarch is indirectly paying for Donald Trump's skanks then that truly is "The Art of the Deal".

    Doesn't have any bearing whatsoever with the Russian troll farm planting disinformation or Wikileaks or Russians hacking into voting machines in Michigan but it is very entertaining.

    Perhaps, perhaps it's considered an unreported campaign contribution....w/potential for pay for play

    OK, so now we have Cohen and Rosie O’Donnell violating Federal Election Laws. But pay for play isn’t rational at this point.

    You’re much more likely to get “pay for play” out of the FBI and DOJ ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

    Huh? Proof of what that she was OCA? Try reading

    So who was the agency head for the State department designated by Obama?
