FAUXTON posted:lmao the president at the time those crimes were happening was Obama, I see how this works The best part is that it's really, really hard to violate campaign finance laws nowadays. Due to the Supreme Court case, you have to both gently caress up and *know specifically that you are loving up when you are loving up*. It's a weird thing where ignorance of the law is actually a valid defense. SDNY/Mueller are basically saying that Donnie met that standard. Not only did he commit a felony campaign finance violation, he likely knew it was a felony campaign finance violation when he told Cohen to do the felony campaign violation. Very legal and very cool.

I was watching CNN earlier and Santorum was trying to spin this like Obama was illegally violating spying laws in regards the filings. It will be interesting how they actually spin it after the fact.

Good thing their idiotic FISA conspiracy theories have nothing to do with this rock solid Cohen campaign finance angle.

Can you prosecute an ex-president for a felony committed before they were president? Ignoring the whole impeachment thing.

I was in a coffee shop today and me and everyone there could only speak the words Trump! Many expressed their feelings by changing the order of the letters or the tone of the word. Each conveying their feelings and being understood by those around them by their eyes, pleading in vocalization of the royal syllables. ‘trmup’ was a sad mourning for our reality that is faltering ‘tUMpr’ was an expression of great pain and longing for death ‘TmRup’ was the call to warn us that the Q conspiracy would quickly escalate to violence ‘Tpeum’ was the signal that maybe this wasn’t actually how it’s supposed to go ‘Trump!’ claimed a nationalist snowflake who had found himself in this liberal fortress of caffeine until with a... ‘tRMUP!’ he suffered a jaw bone fracture by an attending college student. ‘trmpr’ in quiet prayer as passersby spilt ceremonial hot coffee on the weeping chud as they departed to face another day of wage slavery and debt to a system that is failing them.

I'm pretty sure his views haven't evolved on this one since the date he squeezed it out his anus and on to Twitter. I am horrifying curious though of how it would go down in the theoretical situation where there was rock solid, black and white irrefutable paper trail evidence, he got convicted and just straight up did this. Outright pardoning himself. Just, "Nope, I think I'm innocent. Don't care" How far WILL the Republicans ride this crazy train?

They're going to have to be digging hooker bodies out of the Rose Garden before we get to that point though.

Hey just in case anyone thought the right-wing rear end raping of our judicial system was anywhere near complete check out the kind of poo poo that active, sitting judges are saying out loud, in public forums such as a Federalist Society meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQDRQKO09tY&t=3126s "I would probably institute a new federal rule that said all cases worth less than $500,00 would be tried without any discovery."

All are opportunists. All know that their rehabilitation is only a few years away if they want that, on fox or any of the other outlets as either the “reasonable conservative” or Baghdad Bob type. If GWB has been rehabilitated, anyone can be, and it’s easy.
