WAR CRIME SYNDICAT posted:I think showing his lavish lifestyle would be a good way to show that he would be easily caught up in ways to make more money. Sort of like lots of debt will make you lose a clearance because they assume you'll be more easily swayed to give up secrets for money. They have to show that the way he got caught up in was a crime, not that he was spending or making money. Or rather that the money he made did not match what was reported to the IRS. That can be done with luxury goods but they need to show that "he spent x on dumbshit in 2015, he reported to the irs he earned y and had z in assets. x > y and z did not go down" hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Aug 1, 2018 |

The judge took senior status in 2007 or something so hes been half retired for over a decade now if that helps put things in context. Hopefully hes just tired of everyone's bullshit in a good way, not a bad one.

not caring here posted:poo poo, what else are you gonna do? There's paper trail, witnesses to the paper trail, and Gates throwing the whole game. The defense presumably would be to introduce reasonable doubt that the documents are correct, Gates was the real criminal and Manafort was Gates's patsy. ie that crazy paper trail is Gates's forgeries or something. But thats saying the evidence is evidence of something, just not the specifically charged crimes. "gently caress you guys I'm going home*" seems like a bold move. *"well, I'm going home, my client isn't, but he should because hes innocent"

The city also pays your parking (if applicable). I learned all this from the orientation video I watched a total of four times The problem is you need to miss a day of work for that orientation and while they can't fire you they don't have to pay you for it either.

Journalists probably don’t care about the differences between pv2, pv1 and pfc. Then again reading between the lines he was too much of a gently caress up to complete border patrol training and only a private prison would hire him ($13/hr is quoted later) But to the point, he’s an american fuckup!
