cr0y posted:For us laypeople what happens next? Kind of a loaded question. Nothing is set to 'happen' as a direct result of Comey's testimony. This all goes in a big file marked, 'possible corruption?' that one of the several ongoing investigations may use against Trump and/or his inner circle in the event that a more serious crime comes to light. Probably nothing for a long while. What will be infinitely more entertaining is watching Trump cut closer and closer to the bone with his base as he goes on an insane rant, which should hopefully result in some turned seats in 2018. That is honestly the more pertinent outcome barring some major revelation from the FBI. But this investigations are hush hush so we won't actually know until the shoe drops.

Kaddish posted:I'll tell you what. You copy that to your congressmen, tell them this is proof that Trump fired Comey expressly to end the investigation, and ask them to impeach. I don't think it's proof but I'm just an idiot (this has been pointed out multiple times so far) on the Internet. Whether or not Congress votes to impeach is hardly proof one way or the other that Trump fired Comey with the intent of obstructing an investigation. Impeachment is a political decision, not a legal one.

Fitzy Fitz posted:Yeah, it's a typewriter thing. A lot of old folks still think that's how it's done. It's also a not-so-sneaky way of adding length to a piece of writing... To be fair I've always double spaced after a sentence. Never really thought about it being a thing until now. Must just be something learned way back when in school not taught anymore.

No, impeachment is the procedural step; removal from office is the legal remedy. Then he may be indicted. Also seriously, you're trying to argue that whether or not the House votes to impeach is somehow proof of whether or not Trump intended to obstruct. That's beyond

Until put under oath, can Trump/Trump's lawyers just keep saying "Nuh uh!" about anything Comey said with no consequence? Cause it feels really hosed up that Trump's Lawyer can go out and say "This isn't true", and even if it isn't a complete lie they have already embolden their base to defend him.

newsflash: there are no right or wrong punctuation rules, just guidelines you're expected to follow within a certain community. if lawyers doublespace after a period, that by itself means it's correct to do that in legal documents. there is no fact of the matter beyond common usage.

If you are doing anything that will be printed, formatted, or distributed formally by a third-party, then you should not double-space periods. Professional printers, graphic designers, and typeface editors will just delete them because nobody uses mono-spaced fonts anymore.

Yes, but thats just giving the committee more fire power when they do put them under oath. They can go back to all of those and ask if it was true or not

Comey's testimony also makes Trump look so hilariously, obviously dirty that it's not a stretch to think the special counsel will have a field day going after Trump and his cronies. Like, even if Congress won't vote to impeach, every single person around Trump is a target.
