I support this Pipe Dream.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a Congress that will vote to limit its own power.

Think for yourself.

Reminder: The pirates won the last time they tried this crap.

I understand wanting to pay for the years you’ve already used it, but is there really any reason to use RAR over 7zip since 7zip will uncompress RAR & seems, from personal use, to have better compression for most filetypes.

Why New York state is suing Trump instead of charging him with crimes

James seems to be taking this approach, as opposed to a criminal indictment, because New York law empowers the AG to seek damages caused by fraudulent business behavior as a form of consumer protection. The law doesn’t require the AG to identify a victim or even demonstrate anybody suffered harm. Plus, the burden of proof is lower in civil cases than in criminal ones.

“What makes this statute particularly powerful is that there doesn’t have to be a loss,” Will Thomas, a law professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, told Yahoo Finance. “This statute has been used to disgorge profits illegally gained. The government can be allowed to claw back all of those profits. Provable nature is lower, and you don’t have to prove intent or willfulness.”

A civil suit also prevents James from bumping into the criminal case against Trump’s company that the Manhattan district attorney is prosecuting. Those two offices sometimes work together on criminal cases, as they’re doing on the recent indictment of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. With regard to Trump, however, they seem to be pursuing complementary approaches instead of overlapping ones.

So the answer is: it’s easier to win, it’s easier to punish Trump & they can still file criminal charges after a successful civil case if more crimes are uncovered.

A civil case can end with a criminal indictment however, which is certainly coming at this point.

See my other post in this thread for why it was done this way.

People keep asking this. I guess it’s the new spin the Trump fascists are trying to work.

President can’t pardon state cases.

That is 100% correct.

Also, nearly every witness against Trump in his criminal trials have been members of the GOP longer than Trump has.

The GOP has made RCV illegal in Tennessee, Florida & 3 other states.

One example is his tax returns. It is a tradition for presidents to voluntarily release them. He chose not to. Then democratic controlled congress fought for several years to have them be released for no real reason except to force him.

Oh you poor delusional soul.

Those tax documents, while evidence of criminal acts, were just a small fraction of the literal 900 bankers boxes of fraud evidence against Trump.

People that understand how our system of government works, understand that Congress has the power of investigation.

Why don’t you understand that?

You aren’t fooling anyone.

Then you might want to vote for the party that hasn’t made RCV illegal in 4 states.

Not a great analogy since pasta is easy to make potatoes are easy to grow.
