You must be joking.

I think you're confusing opinion with expertise, here.

Yes, actually. Do go on. Let's see if you connect.

Winning tickets to prison, apparently.

He's like an annoying little jerk who thinks his title will earn him respect and deference when in reality no one gives a rip about his title, he's a brainless CTer and no doubt people in British intelligence know it.

And to British intelligence Steele is one of their own, if not an actual acquaintance, whose good name has been traduced by this odious rim-licker (for whom "good name" is a thoroughly alien concept). Add to that Trump's gratuitous claim that GCHQ spied on his campaign on Obama's orders and I think it's fair to say our spooks are not going to be helpful to his cause.

Do you agree in with Ken White's analysis in areas of law, or do you feel your judgement is better than his in certain areas?

I'd be very interested in the answer to this, too, given that linking to Popehat is starting to become a bit of a recurring theme.

That doesn't actually answer the question. Why do you think Cohen is not guilty of the crime of campaign finance violation?

I find the argument that this wasn't an illegal campaign contribution to be inane.

If ANYONE would know the purpose of the payment, it would be the person who made it. And Michael Cohen has said it was for the purpose of influencing the election. That makes it a campaign contribution. What makes it illegal is the amount exceeds the personal limit.

Now it may be argued that Cohen is lying about the the purpose although the evidence does little to support that argument.

It's pretty sad that you can cut through those arguments this easily.

What is sad is that one thinks "arguments" from incredulity "cut" through actual fact/legal based arguments. By the way, the arguments regarding why Cohen is not guilty have been made repeatedly by me, zig and others in this thread. Do endeavor to catch up!

LMAO :dl::dl:

Bull feces, straw men and absurdities hardly qualifies as fact based arguments.

They probably also think that Russia would learn anything they tell him.

Is that the argument that you are incredulous that the count he pled to would be criminally valid, because it was a plea bargain and occasionally those aren't actually crimes by the available evidence?

Or is it the argument that it Isn't even a crime, because it isn't a crime?

That's why he _must_ be lying and having been pressured into saying it. That's the only out. That's why I made that comment about sticking to a "team". it's the kind of logic corner one paints himself in when their position is based on idealistic goals.
