I know this is a dumb question but I can't get it out of my head: If Trump tries to obstruct justice using his Twitter account but it's found an aide or someone in his administration sent the offending tweet instead, could they be brought up on charges?

Fart Amplifier posted:It depends on what the courts say And the GOP has done such a good job of packing most of the courts, so if it ends up in a legal battle it will most certainly become a requirement for a full vote. The Republicans will vote in lockstep against it and try to turn it into a Democratic witch-hunt argument because most American citizens are too stupid to understand what is going on, and the GOP has no soul. Again, the only way this really plays out in Dems favor is if they keep this running until next fall and use it in the election. As soon as it passes to the Senate the GOP will vote it down and claim it as a victory despite the mountain of crimes that the House is uncovering.

I think if a bunch of trump adjacent people get theirs in terms of their Crimes™, and the evidence is blatant and stinky enough, the Senate vote will look like what it is: corrupt partisan rear end covering. Republican Senators voting it down is still probably the right move according to the Lizard Brain Playbook, but it becomes jumping from the pot into the fire.

The Graham Cassidy bill was reprehensible. The fact the GOP has railed against the ACA for so many years and didn't come up with anything is just amazing. People are liking the ACA a lot more these days. How much hate for the ACA came from the fact that Obama administration passed it?

Remember, Kentucky loved the ACA (Kynekt in Kenutcky), but voted to get rid of Obamacare. One of the reasons was they didn't realize they were the same thing.

https://twitter.com/eisingerj/status/1184424038472568832quote:For instance, Trump told the lender that he took in twice as much rent from one building as he reported to tax authorities during the same year, 2017. He also gave conflicting occupancy figures for one of his signature skyscrapers, located at 40 Wall Street. this sounds illegal in a very straightforward way quote:There can be legitimate reasons for numbers to diverge between tax and loan documents, the experts noted, but some of the gaps seemed to have no reasonable justification. “It really feels like there’s two sets of books — it feels like a set of books for the tax guy and a set for the lender,” said Kevin Riordan, a financing expert and real estate professor at Montclair State University who reviewed the records. “It’s hard to argue numbers. That’s black and white.”

I mean really blatant. Like, if anyone did a cursory examination of tax documents it would be the first thing they spotted blatant. skylined! posted:More importantly, where can I find these incredibly loving stupid investors?! Not in the US! Until 2015, Trump had to go overseas to find people who thought he was worth putting money into. I also wouldn't be shocked if this was part of the money laundering Trump was doing.

The investors were people who trusted finance guys packaging a bunch of properties into Mortgage-backed securities Trump had to go to the MBS finance guy because traditional lending wouldn't touch him to refinance a debt coming due The MBS finance guy for this property just happened to be the son of a long-time Trump Organization employee who had been the recipient of a windfall "gift" of a condo at below-market rates earlier Weird coincidences!
