    Sounds like the Russian collusion Trump was accused of.
    Whatever became of that?

    @citygator Definitely off topic when you can’t respond. Where’s your indignation about waste? Couldn’t these funds have been utilized for school protection?

    You would be shitting bricks if this happened under Trump.

    Nothing to worry about there, Mr. Snatch. Trump is the last one who is actually going to accept responsibility for his actions or pay back what he owes.

    His campaign manager from the time was sent to prison.

    Again no direct response. Typical defense attorney.

    How strange....somebody missed their target apparently.
    Shifty Schiff and the Collusion News Network staked their reputations on the notion that Trump was guilty.
    Both seem like useless entities now.

    I did respond, Mr. Snatch. You must have forgotten your question.

    Mueller found several instances of collusion, but nothing he felt he could indict on. If you think there was no collusion, you must have listened to AG Barr lying out his ass at his press conference without being troubled to read the report yourself.

    Hunter behaves for two years and the felony gets dismissed, leaving him with two misdemeanors. He'll be able to vote for his father in 2024.

    So your argument is "Hey, it was only his campaign manager that was doing it" is a good defense?

    The gun charge is “possession of a firearm by an illegal drug user.”. I can’t say I’ve ever seen that one prosecuted.

    They set it up that way so he'd be able to play the "recovering addict" card for all of this. Just in case anybody forgot, he was a drug addict. Not a tax evader.

    Do you have any idea what you are complaining about? I don’t think you do. Let me make it simple for you:

    The equipment was valued at replacement cost not acquisition cost. I know that is confusing sounding but we bought it for $1 billion but it would cost $2 billion to replace it. Now get this…. They meant to send the acquisition cost… so they under funded Ukraine. They would have sent more to Ukraine if the accounting was correct.

    Care to revise your outrage?

    It’s one of the other 922(g) (prohibited person) offenses, but agreed that the 922(g) offense you normally see prosecuted is felon in possession.

    I haven’t looked at sentencing requirements and underlying procedure enough to figure out what the advantage to charging it that way was. But presumably something about how they could plead it out (or maybe his desire to avoid a charge relating to dishonesty?) made it preferable for DOJ to charge, or him to agree to, the substantive prohibited person offense rather than the false statement in connection with a firearm purchase offense for having lied about being a drug addict when he bought the gun in the first place.

    And the Cons must have incorrectly explained how the 2nd Amend. should mean no permits, or registration needed ...... except for Hunter. Ironic how then it's different.
