NY judge issues gag order on Trump in hush money trial
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
No. Trump is indicted for his part in the same crimes that Michael Cohen was convicted of and sent to prison for. Michael Cohen, you will recall, was indicted, tried, found guilty and imprisoned while Trump was President. Trump’s administration went after Cohen and secured a conviction. Now it’s Trump’s turn in the barrel. Get the popcorn! -

AND ” In addition, the overt act that follows the agreement doesn’t necessarily have to be an illegal act. It just has to be some act that demonstrates that the agreement is now being acted upon.” -

Don’t be impatient, the trial starts with jury selection commencing Monday. Meanwhile we have the judge’s summary of the case against Defendant Trump: “The allegations are in substance that Donald Trump falsified business records to conceal an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 election. ” -

From your the link you posted: ” In addition, the overt act that follows the agreement doesn’t necessarily have to be an illegal act. It just has to be some act that demonstrates that the agreement is now being acted upon.” -

Don’t ever use that as a defense. The criteria for a conspiracy to become a felony is taking any step in furtherance of the crime. Actus reus. So in your bank robbery example, conspiring to rob a bank becomes a crime the moment any action is taken in preparation for the robbery - eg you conspired to rob the bank then you went to the bank to ‘case the joint’. -
Joe Biden expects Iran to attack Israel 'sooner than later'
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I don’t place any trust Iran ‘living up to their part’. Which is precisely why the treaty included inspections. There’s no such thing as ‘Budenbucks’ -

We also no longer have a nuclear weapons treaty with Iran. Trashing that was really good idea… not. -

If Liz Truss’ memoir has more than five pages she’s padding it out. -

So conspiracy to commit a crime is not a crime in and of itself if the conspiracy does not result in the conspired crime being committed? -
British lawmakers pass Sunak’s controversial Rwanda asylum plan
Chomper Higgot replied to Amethyst's topic in World News
Agreed. And here’s the idiocy of the rightwing argument. The Tory’s failed Rwanda plan has never once been put before the European Court of Human Rights. Each successful challenge to the ‘plan’ has come from the UK courts ruling on matters of UK law. What is actually going on is the extreme rightwing, a bunch of hyper wealthy old school chums (AKA the very elite that they claim to be opposing) are using the Tory failure to control immigration as an argument to get rid of human rights law. -

Chomper Higgot replied to Amethyst's topic in World News
The absolute nonsense is the suggestion that the UK should leave the convention. It’s an extremist rightwing fantasy. It’s not going to happen for the reasons I’ve explained and many others, not least Reform UK are doing a great job destroying the Tory Party. -
Republicans first participate in bi-lateral border legislation, then on the eve of the vote they get a call from Trump and pull the plug. Leaving Biden with no other option than to implement executive orders. Republicans then claim Biden is copying Trump. My punt is it will not involve separating children from their parents, throwing the children in cages and then losing the records so the children can’t be united with their parents. Or indeed any other form of over cruelty that characterized Trump’s policies.
