    As with John Wick, Lance Reddick is missed.

     

     

    Also enjoying Lessons in Chemistry, Apple TV+, but few here might find it interesting.

     

     

    Same here and am enjoying this so far.

    There’s also Boss Level, doesn’t feature Gerard Butler, but again Frank Grillo, the guy who played the artist in billions, from the same writing / directing team.

     

    We don’t seem to watch many movies these days, it’s easier for me to watch an episode or two of a good series than sit for 2.5 hours on a movie. Even if it was a bit cliched, the production, casting, score and effects applied in 3 episodes of the continental was a prime example, given the choice of that or the new MI time cruise offering? 

    Same here it was great crime.

    That was an opinion piece published by the NY Times.. If you think it doesn't matter, that is your prerogative.

    Seems your world wide article choices looking sorry is my take or a prerogative I choose. That exposure makes me want to suggest you spend more time understanding each point of view. Just my opinion, so don't take it personally.

    As I have previously stated.  This is a political witch hunt.  The "injured" party would be the bank.  They were not injured.  They also should be the one to bring the lawsuit claiming fraud.  They did not. 

    Who did.  His political opponents. 

    This is like the IRS finding a taxpayer paid all of his taxes but had innacurate information on the returns that didn't impact the taxes due, then claiming a false tax return. 

    The underlying premise of a fraud is that it causes people to lose money.  A fraud with no victim not a crime.  The valuations are subjective and they were accepted by the bank.  

    The government now coming in after the fact and second guessing the bank is purely weaponizing government. 

    If the bank was injured due to any fabrication in my opinion that would be different. 

    This really is no different than when Hunter Biden was charged with making false statements on a gun purchase.  Few if any are ever prosecuted.  Biden was targeted strictly because he was Biden.  Trump targeted strictly because he is Trump and he has political enemies.  

    MAGA has a sad time excusing his torrid actions ongoing. Safe to say they just make up any falsehood to enamor the top liar in Chef. BS is still BS even when you find yourself crying like a baby does.

    And maybe others will go for plea deals. But note to you and others who like to reference the 'overwhelming evidence', evidence isn't evidence until it is admitted in court.

     

    I remember reading an obituary for musician David Crosby who said:  I am really not unlike any other drug addict. The only difference was: I had lots of money.

     

    98% of all federal indictments result in plea bargains. There are very few indicted on federal charges who can outspend the Feds.

     

    I have always appreciated your caution on these MAGA situations.

    Kenneth Chesebro, a Trump-Aligned Lawyer, Pleads Guilty in Georgia

     

    The fact that there will be no trial next week for Mr. Chesebro and Ms. Powell is a strategic boon for prosecutors. Because they were going to have to lay out large sections of their case against all the defendants to prove that the two at trial were part of a sweeping racketeering conspiracy, lawyers for Mr. Trump and others would have been effectively offered a preview of the case that they would have to defend against.

     

    In a statement on Friday, Steven H. Sadow, Mr. Trump’s lead lawyer in Georgia, said that Mr. Chesebro’s guilty plea appeared to be influenced by “the looming threat of prison time.”

     

    “However, ” he added, “it is very important for everyone to note that the RICO charge and every other count was dismissed. Once again, I fully expect that truthful testimony would be favorable to my defense strategy.”

    Boon or not it is great that three now have caved to admitting they are going to plead and help. Still the truth prevail with all the other 16 testifying with inside knowledge of Trumps crimes.

    I am struggling to know what exactly what AQnon is? Not seen this before. Could be a new derivative of the delusional machinations from the loony left .

    Struggling, too is no new territory for you. Living in a conspriacy world makes it necessary to take facts and twist them to some sort of a different narrative. So how is that going in MAGA world? 91 inditements and two guilty please. So much winning it is intorrable life you live in.

    555555 First time you have heard of AQnon,55555 dropped my coffee for the second time today.

     

    Another one that says and implies one thing and then back tracks when called out on it. Sure your not JonnyF alternative log in.

     

    You remind me of a John Cleese quote on Dunning Kruger effect, google it !

    As many court observers have written, the same evidence as would be presented at the Chesebro trial would be much the same evidence to be used at Trump's eventual trial. They just get a sneak preview. Not that they can challenge anything.

    Sounds just what a lawyer would use as a ploy. Lawyer speak, is just all it is. Don't be fooled as the overwelaming amount of evidence is going to be impossible to defend.

    Yeah, McHenry would be a reasonable option for the short term.  For the longer term, Dems should consider getting behind Liz Cheney.  She has the conservative credentials which should get some Rep support.  She also hates Trump, which is something every Dem can get behind....555
