Do we have an actual lawyer in the thread who can say if this meets the criteria for mens rea? Cause to my dumb rear end layman's ears, this certainly sounds like it's mens rea up to the rafters. I don't know how much better you could show knowing it's a crime and then criming.

OPENLY CALLING TRUMP A DANGER TO DEMOCRACY IN A CONGRESSIONAL HEARING Buried in his Scheherazade sentences, but he said those exact words. Hot drat.

Considering he’s an old school arch-conservative (fucker is Ted Cruz’s mentor for gently caress’s sake) who has been put in a situation where he has to willfully testify against a former Republican president, just anger and distaste is plenty to explain him dragging his feet and not being an engaging speaker. Also he was speaking in giant rambling embedded clauses. That’s literally the opposite behavior of someone with damage to language or speech centers of the brain. He was boring because he was talking in an overcomplicated way, not cause he can’t talk.

Dr. Faustus posted:I am terrified to speak it aloud lest I accidentally make it impossible. But Ginni Thomas saying she WANTS to go before the Committee and "clear up misconceptions" is a thing I desire with burning intensity. She is bug-gently caress insane and I wish to witness her attempt to sound reasonable in her answers to the committees questions. Has she actually released a statement? Cause yeah, I’d pay good money to see that. Bet you a dollar she starts screaming and calls someone “dark-sided”.

Literally demanding election workers' homes be searched for "any signs of USB ports" Cactrot posted:Presidential Cybersecurity Expert Checked for ports. Not USB drives, but USB ports. Like if you flip up their pinkies, little sockets open up where you can charge your phone. It's really minor in the scheme of the crimes and it's really just him being an old man with a brain made of soup, but he literally asked that we check if election workers are loving cyborgs. He's worried about rigger droids.

Lager posted:This is true, but also I would add that I have noticed that ~10% of people in any given poll always seem to select the stupidest possible response to any question. Like, without fail, it just seems like 1 in 10 people are just dumb as gently caress. I don't know if there's a name for this phenomenon but it's something I've been noticing for years now. The name depends on field and the kind of question because of different kinds of research and/or stupid, but yeah. For the lab I used to work at one of the joke names for them was “drunk moron questions” : answers so absolutely stupid that all your other questions get tabulated separately cause you’re either not actually paying attention or you’re just so stupid we don’t want your responses infecting the rest of the data.

The Angry Bum posted:I’m just skeptical that despite all the evidence and everything laid out before the American people that anything will actually happen to these people because the committee is running against the clock now. They have until November to conclude everything because once mid-terms are over, they get replaced by the ‘Democrat stolen election of 2020’ committee and guaranteed there will be arrests of prominent D party members. Democrats are scared to do anything but Republicans have zero problems bringing out a bunch of liberals in chains to the delight of their base. I'm not singling you out, but you're a good prompt to remind everyone : This is a LEGISLATIVE committee. This is not a JUDICIAL committee. Liz Cheney is not going to, and can not, charge anyone from this. The intended purpose of this committee is to provide information to Congress so they can pass legislation to stop another coup, and as part of that they have to investigate how this coup happened. They can't charge anyone ; this has been a major contention and something that the Republicans keep loving up when they respond to subpoenas. They can pass stuff on to the DoJ for prosecution (and have, as we've seen), but the only thing Congress can really charge anyone with is contempt of congress. It's not a trial! All the stuff you learned about trials doesn't apply, and even if it did a lot of the stuff people know about trials isn't true either.

Lucasar posted:I'm a Canadian so forgive an ignorant question: if Trump does see criminal consequences for his actions, does anything stop President De Santis from pardoning him immediately? Presidential pardons only work on federal crimes, not state crimes, and there's the tiniest, most mild amount of wiggle room about how it works in regards to crimes that someone has been impeached for just cause it hasn't come up ever but it's inside-baseball legal specifics.

William Bear posted:Is this legally hearsay? I'm not a lawyer, but I thought hearsay would be if this witness were to say she heard another person talk about what Trump said. It's definitely hearsay. That's easy. The complex part is that there are a poo poo load of exceptions that allow hearsay into testimony. Like, keep in mind, the concept of e-mail is also technically hearsay.
