| Manafort should not legally be allowed to claim innocence and wage a defense. It's obstruction pure and simple!! |
Meanwhile, Mueller charges someone else with a process crime who cannot afford a defense, in order to force them to testify to what he wants them to say. This, of course, is considered perfectly ethical, and in no way should be considered "tampering" with a witness.

Interesting use of words. But then you often have a way of using words distortingly.
Meanwhile,
___________
Justin Trudeau’s former policy adviser called Donald Trump ‘pathetic’!
Trudeau and Trump are in the midst of a tariff dispute that came to a head during the G7 summit. Trudeau saying he wouldn’t be ‘pushed around’ after Trump slammed Canada for charging ‘massive tariffs’ to US businesses.
Trump called Trudeau out for acting ‘very dishonest and weak’ when Trudeau slammed him at a press conference during the G7 summit - AFTER Trump left.
After this, Trudeau’s former policy adviser Roland Paris jumped into the fray, calling Trump ‘a pathetic little man-child.’
He wrote:
'Big tough guy once he’s back on his airplane. Can’t do it in person, and knows it, which makes him feel weak. So he projects these feelings onto Trudeau and then lashes out at him. You don’t need to be Freud. He’s a pathetic little man-child.'
Canada’s foreign minister also commented that Trump’s attacks on Trudeau aren’t ‘appropriate or useful.’
Trump has yet to respond.
___________
When he does, it will be like a pathetic little man-child.
Trump's mishandling of the G-7 summit is being compared to his firing of Comey. MAJOR misstep.
Like clockwork, James is too stupid to stay on topic and debate CH.
So, he spams.
Trump didn't mishandle anything. He is right. Trudeau was his buddy until Trump was on his plane. Only then did he start talking tough.
And Trump is right about the high dairy tariffs on US farmers.
Trudeau is a little man with a big mouth which is the case with all liberals!
James -
Imagine you were charged with a criminal act. Falsely accused of say... oh I don't know... some sort of sexual assault.
You are, by all legal means innocent until proven guilty. You are allowed a jury trial. You are allowed by constitutional law to be represented in your case. You are allowed to provide a rigorous defense of your position.
The Prosecution cannot (by law) hide anything from you. Your team is allowed to talk to and interview all of the prosecution witnesses. You are allowed to interview, and even go through mock cross examinations with your own key witnesses. The idea of preparing a witness is an everyday occurrence, and part of the rights of the accused to wage a defense.
In your case, your defense would even have the right to talk to and interview (pre-trial) your accuser.
But suddenly, the defendant is someone tied to Trump, and he should have no rights. He isn't allowed to have conversations with anyone associated with the case? He should be charged with a crime for having a minute and a half call with associates who may be called as a witness?
Suddenly people act as if there is something inherently illegal or inherently unethical with a defendant or the defendant's attorney using their constitutionally and legally protected right to talk to and interview every witness out there?
Think about it James. Really think about it. How far has your "expectations" changed in terms of what should be considered "normal" activity in this sort of deal.
Process crimes, a code word for CH for permitting a person to lie with impunity.....
And loretta is loud mouth trump lover who thinks truedeu should lie like she does at trumps beckoning . The only back stabber is trump who adores dictators and tyrants....what ever happened to not negotiating with terrorists?????
TRUMP charges?
"Informally, in criminal procedure, process crime is an offense charged by a prosecutor alleging criminal conduct related to an investigation of a crime, but not to the crime itself. Examples include obstruction of justice, perjury before a grand jury and misprision of a felony."
Poor Denny.
Notice how oppressed jane, wp, opie, not-An Indy and Alky have been since 3 am Nov, 9th, 2016.
"what ever happened to not negotiating with terrorists?????"
Like Iran? The Taliban? Cuba?
Hmmmm, seems like Obama set precedence again.
RRB, Alky will Sue you. He has four the 3rd time said he will Sue me for posting names and $$$$$$$$$ they are bilking tax payers that is ALL PUBLIC INFO.
"Trump is attempting to help Roger's family, and he's pissed off about it.
that's because in this particular case, in addition to his irrational hatred for all things trump, the alky has found himself commenting on a topic which he knows absolutely nothing about.
canadian dairy tariffs HAVE been in place for quite some time. and the canadians have been much smarter regarding how they regulate their dairy industry than we have. canadian dairy producers are assigned strict production quotas. produce one pound over your quota assignment and the penalties are swift and fierce. these quotas serve to keep supply in line with demand, and the tariffs keep US dairy from flooding north across the border.
here in the US our dairies are under no such restrictions and as a result supply always overwhelms demand. as recently as 2014 US milk prices were $25/hundredweight. (that's how your relatives are paid for their "milk cattle" production alky, by the hundredweight.) today milk prices struggle to remain around $15/cwt. with the average cost of production hovering around $20/cwt, US dairy farmers are losing $$$ every single day. and their only recourse to remain viable is government $$$ from uncle sugar. what would fix the US dairy situation would be a framework like canada's with a strict production framework, and the wholesale slaughter of about 10M dairy cows. the american dairy farmer has felt so entitled to the lifestyle for so long, they've essentially become their own worst enemy. when milk prices are up they expand their herd to reap the additional profits. when prices are down they expand their herds to try and outrun the low prices. it's fucked up six ways from sunday, the solution is devastatingly harsh, therefore no one wants to address it as it should be addressed. the law of supply and demand is like the law of gravity. you can't fight it, but that hasn't stopped the american dairy farmer from trying, especially with the aid of US dairy price supports."
like Obama set precedence again.
Sure he did......typical loretta BS of they did it first.....no one but the afghans negotiated with the taliban....Cuba....sorry has not been a terrorist state since 2015....Iran was dealt with by 7 other countries including Putin, the terrorist trump fawns over and you ignore.....nice try though your rational once again proves you are a good little trump sycophant......idiot...

a will remove families of diplomats posted at its embassy in Cuba as the cause of unusual health symptoms is still unknown, though information received from medical specialists has raised concerns of a new type of acquired brain injury, a senior Canadian government official said on Monday.
Canada is continuing to investigate the cause of the symptoms that were first reported by Canadians connected to the Havana embassy in 2017 and have also affected US diplomats in Cuba.
Fresh row over mysterious sickness affecting US diplomats in Cuba

The symptoms, which include dizziness, headaches and nausea, have been found in 10 of the 27 Canadian personnel and family members that initially received medical testing, the official said.
While there have been no new incidents since the autumn of 2017, diplomatic families that have returned to Canada have continued to experience symptoms. In some cases, the symptoms have lessened in intensity before returning, the official said.
Canada has also recently received information from Canadian and American medical specialists that raised concerns of a possible type of acquired brain injury, the official said, adding that initial theories of a sonic attack first raised by US officials last year or mass psychosomatic causes are now considered to be improbable.
Air and water quality tests of staff quarters in Havana did not indicate a cause for the health problems, the official told reporters.

"Think about it James. Really think about it. How far has your "expectations" changed in terms of what should be considered "normal" activity in this sort of deal."
LOL. No one really thinks James comes here to debate or discuss anything...
Ch, here's the ending of a long and complicated article in which the language used does not mesh well with yours.
The article concludes:
_________________
The new obstruction charges — which include one obstruction of justice count and one conspiracy to obstruct justice count — add a potential of up to 40 years to the already lengthy prison time Manafort, 69, could face.
However, some lawyers said the significance of the new indictment wasn't so much on how it would affect Manafort, but on how it undercut President Donald Trump's regular claims that Mueller is on a "witch hunt" that's straying far from his assigned focus on alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“If this isn’t ‘collusion,’ what is?” said Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor who argued that Mueller’s latest charge marks the first time an American and a Russian have been charged together for conspiring to commit a crime.
“The lasting legacy of this indictment could be its political impact,” he added. “Specifically, he charged the former chair of Trump’s campaign and a suspected Russian intelligence operative with conspiring to obstruct justice.”
__________________
That makes Ch feel sorry for Manafort.
Nice try.
It's more evidence that you should never have been a lawyer.
The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to legal counsel at all significant stages of a criminal proceeding. This right is so important that there is an associated right given to people who are unable to pay for legal assistance to have counsel appointed and paid for by the government. The federal criminal justice system and all states have procedures for appointing counsel for indigent defendants.
What Is Covered Under the Sixth Amendment?
The Sixth Amendment right to counsel has been extended to the following:
The interrogation phase of a criminal investigation
The trial itself
Sentencing
At least an initial appeal of any conviction.
It's not unethical nor is it obstruction of justice.
Findlaw.com
LOL!!!!!
See?
Too stupid to debate on his own.
LOL!!!!
Just another troll.
“If this isn’t ‘collusion,’ what is?”
Look he's trying to claim that Muller is using unethical tactics. It's again his opinion despite the law is not on his side.
Putting pressure upon a person who can't afford a lawyer to be a potential witnesses is used hundreds of times a day. In gang related crimes witnesses including those who face mortal danger are pressured by prosecutors and police to testify against people being charged with criminal acts.
Do you think that it's collusion against an African American gangster?
A crime is a crime violent or otherwise it's still a crime.
"Meanwhile, Mueller charges someone else with a process crime who cannot afford a defense, in order to force them to testify to what he wants them to say."
It worked with Arthur Andersen.
Findlaw.com
so alky, rather than challenge CH on the content of his post you reflexively copy/paste the sixth amendment from findlaw.
is your implication that mueller is following the sixth to the letter and is not intentionally fucking with manafort? i'm trying to understand what you're debating.
you copy/pasted an amendment. big fucking deal.
Ethical vs unethical is a matter of opinion, Roger...
In my opinion (and the opinion of many others on both sides of the aisle) Mueller is bringing dubious charges in order to create more pressure on Manafort, because he apparently still feels that Manafort is holding out on him.
It's also my opinion that it's not up to the prosecutor to threaten the defense with charges of obstruction for behavior that can be argued is generally protected under the legal regulations of a trial.
Again, this is entirely my opinion based on what Mueller wrote on the subject. He basically wants to put someone in jail (today) for making a 84 second phone call (that Mueller has no transcript for) - on the basis that it should be basically illegal for a person accused of a crime to speak to anyone who might be a witness about anything having to do with the case. That concept is ridiculous at it's core.
If he can eventually show tangible evidence of real tampering (his indictment relies entirely on the opinion of a second hand witness) - then go ahead and make the charge. But this really "feels" like Mueller attempting to intimidate and bully Manafort at this point.
“If this isn’t ‘collusion,’ what is?” said Renato Mariotti
Does anybody really fall for this?
Two people supposedly "colluding" in 2018 to commit a process crime, regarding an upcoming trial that has absolutely nothing to do with the 2016 election?
Does this person "really" believe that this proves the 2016 election collusion?
What an idiot!!
Putting pressure upon a person who can't afford a lawyer to be a potential witnesses is used hundreds of times a day.
i would be to differ and here's why:
You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions.
Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish.
If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.
Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?
what you're looking at alky is a standard miranda warning. one of the very first things that happens when being placed under arrest. and you'll notice that it specifically addresses a defendants ability to afford a lawyer and how one will be provided to them.
so no...
putting pressure upon a person who can't afford a lawyer to be a potential witnesses is NOT used hundreds of times a day. you can't simply compel a person to testify while at the same time withholding their right to an attorney.
Nice try.
It's more evidence that you should never have been a lawyer.
well, you should take your own advice. it turns out you know as much about the law as you do "milk cattling."
heh.

You thought maybe you could roll me like Obama got rolled? Yeah, right. Just ask the Iranians, they had him over a barrel saying thank you as the mullahs pantsed him and poked him one after the other. He was a disgrace, a complete disgrace, and America is better off with him out of the picture. Oh, and the little runt spied on my campaign, you know that? I'll bet you didn't. Well, it's true. Anyway, from now on, I'm looking after America's interests first, and by America's interests, I don't mean the interests of the GOPe donor class and their cronies in the Chamber of Commerce. So I won't be signing on to any bad trade deals that do nothing but increase our unemployment and debt while you euro-commies reap the benefits. America is not the world's piggy bank. Those days are over. Bill Kristol is going to have to pay full price for his pool boy. No, don't listen to him, he's an idiot, a complete moron who is still living off of his daddy. So you can talk to the 'Stache here. He's a helluva guy. You may not like John, but you know something? He doesn't like you, either. I didn't bring him here to win a popularity contest. Come to think of it, John probably doesn't like me very much either. But we both of us love America, and that's what counts."

Is it actually your argument that people are not entitled to an attorney or the protections of the variety of constitutional amendments that apply to the accused... because you believe that such practice in law enforcement is widespread?
Seems our founding fathers had a much different attitude about balancing law enforcement and individual liberties.

Our racist rodent bastard has an opinion on the scope of the Muller investigation based upon the opinion pages of the KGB of the United States. Fox, Breitbart, etc. and not one ounce of knowledge about the Constitution . He's convinced that the President was not a subject of intervention of the Russian government. Therefore he doesn't understand why this investigation has to pressure people to testify as to whether or not the candidate Trump cooperated with the Russians.
If the President is innocent there's no reason to worry about.
Truth is the object of the investigation, not a deep state conspiracy to destroy the President.

the fact is alky is that your coup attempt is collapsing. i have no opinion or preconceived notion as to trump's guilt or innocence. but at this point i am inclined to start calling bullshit on the whole sordid affair. mueller has been burning through million$ per month and he has pathetically little to show for it.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is making an aggressive new move to crack down on illegal immigration, announcing Monday that the Trump administration will no longer accept asylum claims based on fear of domestic violence, gang violence or other “personal crime.”
“Our nation’s immigration laws provide for asylum to be granted to individuals who have been persecuted, or who have a well-founded fear of persecution, on account of their membership in a ‘particular social group,’ but most victims of personal crimes do not fit this definition — no matter how vile and reprehensible the crime perpetrated against them," a Justice Department statement said.
Pushback from immigration groups was swift.
“The Attorney General’s decision — if permitted to stand—will no doubt result in sending countless mothers and children back to their abusers and criminal gangs. Turning our backs on victims of violence and deporting them to grave danger should not be the legacy sought by any administration," Beth Werlin, Executive Director of the American Immigration Council, said in a release.
This has been in place since 1951.
Now it's a coup de ta.

The U.S. investigates and determines if people who claim asylum has "credible fear" and then if it is determined they do, according to U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services, they are brought in front of an immigration judge for a hearing on whether they'll be granted asylum.
The number of credible fear screenings has risen more than a thousand percent between 2008-2016.
USCIS says screenings have gone from 5,100 in 2008 to close to 92,000 screenings in 2016.

Polycystic Liver Disease: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
Polycystic liver disease (PLD or PCLD) is a rare condition that causes cysts -- fluid-filled sacs -- to grow throughout the liver. A normal liver has a smooth, uniform appearance. A polycystic liver can look like a cluster of very large grapes. Cysts also can grow independently in different parts of the liver. The cysts, if they get too numerous or large, may cause discomfort and health complications. But most people with polycystic liver disease do not have symptoms and live a normal life.
What Causes Polycystic Liver Disease?
The majority of people with polycystic liver disease inherit the condition, but PLD can occur randomly with no genetic link. It's common on my family.
Most people don't discover they have PLD until they are adults, when the cysts become large enough to detect. Cysts can vary in size from no bigger than a pinhead to almost 4 inches wide. Likewise, your liver can stay its normal size or become extremely enlarged. No matter the number or size of cysts, polycystic livers continue to function normally and, in most cases, the disease is not considered life threatening.
Because it's most often inherited, if you or someone in your immediate family has PLD, other family members should be tested for it. Doctors can diagnose polycystic liver disease with imaging studies, such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI.
What Are the Symptoms of Polycystic Liver Disease?
Most of the time, people with polycystic liver disease have no symptoms. However, if the liver becomes very enlarged and bulky with cysts, symptoms may include:
Bloating or swelling in the abdomen
Abdominal pain
Feeling full
Shortness of breath
Only about one out of every 10 people with PLD has problems associated with it. In addition to severe abdominal pain, other complications may include:
Bleeding into a cyst
Infection of a cyst
Bile duct obstruction and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
How Is Polycystic Liver Disease Treated?
Treatment is usually not needed unless you have symptoms. Mild pain associated with PLD can be treated with pain medication. However, if the cysts cause significant discomfort or other complications, there are a number of treatment options. Which option is best for you will depend on the extent of your pain, the location of the cysts, and other complications. Treatments may include:
Cyst aspiration: If a cyst is blocking a bile duct or if it has become infected, your doctor may recommend draining it. During cyst aspiration, your doctor, guided by ultrasound or CT imaging, will use a needle or catheter to drain the fluid in the cyst or cysts. Unfortunately, cyst aspiration offers only temporary relief. Cysts often fill up with fluid again. Sclerotherapy -- a procedure done after aspiration in which the cyst is injected with a hardening substance -- may be performed to destroy the cyst wall and prevent fluid from collecting again. If you have an infection, antibiotics will be prescribed.
Cyst fenestration: If you have large cysts on the surface of your liver, your doctor may suggest you have surgery to remove the wall of the cyst - a process called cyst fenestration or de-roofing.
Liver resection: If the majority of cysts are in a particular area of the liver, your doctor may be able to surgically remove that part of the liver to provide pain relief and reduce the size of the liver. Or, if you have a few large cysts, your doctor may be able to surgically remove those. However, if you have thousands of small cysts spread all over the liver, liver resection will probably not work.
Liver transplantation: In the most severe cases, a liver transplant may be an option. This treatment is typically reserved for people who are experiencing severe abdominal pain, having trouble eating, and whose overall quality of life is suffering. Liver transplant for polycystic liver disease is rarely performed. Less than 100 people a year in the U.S. require a liver transplant as a result of polycystic liver disease.
Kiss my sober ass.
In short, there is no serious argument that Special Counsel Mueller’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause specifically or the separation of powers generally.
* * *
A final observation: It isn’t very surprising to see the president tweet a meritless legal position, because, as a non-lawyer, he wouldn’t know the difference between a good one and a bad one. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with lawyers making inventive and novel arguments on behalf of their clients, or on behalf of causes or people they support, if the arguments are well-grounded in law and fact, even if the arguments ultimately turn out to be wrong. But the “constitutional” arguments made against the special counsel do not meet that standard and had little more rigor than the tweet that promoted them. Such a lack of rigor, sadly, has been a disturbing trend in much of the politically charged public discourse about the law lately, and one that lawyers—regardless of their politics—owe a duty to abjure.
