The improbability is clear. If I buy a lottery ticket, it remains to be seen whether or not I've won the grand prize. Since anything is possible, it may turn out that there is a basis for criminal prosecution. But the odds are clear vanishingly small.

What relevance would that have to any criminal charges unless it can be shown that Biden willfully violated the rules governing possession of government documents?

I'm going to be charitable and assume you know what is meant by "import" in the context of my comment and just chose to misuse it. And, once again, you ignore what effect this kind of corruption has on the EU economy and how tiny it is by comparison.

And I'm sure you know that the EU budget is a small fraction of European GDP. And that the corruption in question would carry very little, if any, economic import for the EU.

The notion that they were there for some discreditable purpose and then just left there undisturbed, is obviously wildly improbable.

His lawyers immediately reported the discovery of the documents. Is that what you mean by anonymous?

Because making trade even more difficult would be better for the UK economy? Making goods even more expensive would be beneficial to the citizens of the UK? Having even more economic refugees arrive in the UK would be beneficial how? What you don't seem to understand is that the EU economy is about five times the size of the UK economy. So, for simple and obvious arithmetical reasons, tit for tat works to the disadvantage of the UK.

Apart from canceling brexit or continuing in some sort of special affiliation with the EU, what could the British government have done to ease the pain of brexit?

You clearly don't understand the relevant statute in question. It is not a crime to be in possession of those documents. It has to be proven that the possessor willfully violated the statute governing possession of these documents. And as far as criminality goes in relation to the law, it's irrelevant whether or not the documents were classified. Even if they had been declassified and Biden willfully violated the law by being in possession of them without the approval of the National Archives, that would be a crime. And if he had lied about being in possession of them, that would be another crime called obstruction of justice.

What don't you understand about the fact that whereas Trump had his lawyers act to obstruct the return of documents in his possession, Biden's lawyers immediately reported their presence in Biden's office and arranged to have them returned immediately?

The media wasn't speculating whether or not Trump had possession of nuclear documents. It reported that he had possession of them.

Yes, Biden or his staff was careless and deserves to be reproached for that. But criminality is another matter. And the difference between Biden's conduct and Trump's is huge. What don't you get about the fact that it's clear Trump willfully violated the law despite the advice of legal counsel, and then lied about being in possession of documents he had no right to be in possession of?

Trump is not being investigated for having documents in unsecured locations. This would have been nothingburger if Trump hadn't defied legal counsel to take those documents and then lied about being in possession of many of them. To qualify as a crime under the relevant statutes, it is necessary to show that the person being investigated willfully violated the law. It also is a violation of that law to refuse to return documents when requested to do so. And then there is another possible charge on the grounds of obstructing justice due to the fact that Trump lied about being in continued possession of many of these documents.

I guess we can take this as a confession that you didn't read the article.

Nothing in the text of those emails constitutes any kind of proof that Joe Biden participated in any of these deals. The one time Joe Biden's response to any offer was when Hunter Biden posted that he had definitively and absolutely refused to participate in the Chinese deal. Given Biden family members penchant for trying to use their family connection to Joe Biden, it's not even clear that any of the possible allusions to Biden are even based on fact. I have no doubt that the Ukrainian company, Burisma, headed by a corrupt oligarch, was paying Hunter Biden on the strength of the fact that his father was VP. But just because it was that oligarch's hope that Hunter Biden would intercede on behalf of the company with his father, that doesn't mean it happened. In fact, as the article which you clearly didn't read points out, Hunter Biden took great precautions not to involve his father in this business. Again, in the Chinese case, it seems clear that Biden was approached at first because of his connection to his father. And once again, no evidence at all that Hunter Biden used his connection to influence his father to do anything on behalf the Chinese. In fact, the evidence shows once again that he was careful not to do that. And just to remind you, probably in vain, once again, Hunter Biden specifically wrote that his father gave an emphatic NO to any involvement with this deal. And it wasn't at all unreasonable to assume that the story was Russian disinfo. And it certainly wasn't reasonable for the story to be published without careful vetting first. As has been pointed out to your multiple times already, and to which you have never replied, the experienced reporter first assigned to write up the story refused precisely because of that. People such as Giuliani who had the data which could have helped confirm the story refused to share it all. Why was that? Maybe because he didn't have great confidence in its factuality either?

Half true. While increased ocean heat is leading to more rainfall, the scientific consensus is that global warming will actually end up decreasing wind speeds. That's due to the fact that the the far northern and southern regions are getting warmer faster than elsewhere. Less temperature differential translates to slowing wind speeds. Global ‘Stilling’: Is Climate Change Slowing Down the Wind? As carbon dioxide levels rise and the Earth’s poles warm, researchers are predicting a decline in the planet’s wind speeds. This ‘stilling’ could impact wind energy production and plant growth and might even affect the Gulf Stream, which drives much of the world’s climate. https://e360.yale.edu/features/global-stilling-is-climate-change-slowing-the-worlds-wind

It's a common refrain from Brexiters that the departure of the UK from the EU presaged the collapse of the entire EU. Instead, the UK has served as an object lesson that establishes the foolishness of leaving the EU.

Here's the story from archive.ph. No firewall https://archive.ph/ReGBw

*Deleted post edited out* For months, the National Archives and then the Justice Dept negotiated with Trump for the return of documents he illegally took from the Whitehouse. I don't recall seeing any news about that.

Why would anyone consider attending the Olympics a significant job? Does hype make it significant?

We can be sure it was inadvertent because if there was something criminal behind it, the documents wouldn't have been left where they could be found. We know it was inadvertent because as soon as the lawyers looked at the documents, they reported it. Contrast that with the behavior of a certain other party and his lawyers.

The flu virus and its variants are a lot more stable than the covid virus and its variants. Not the same situation at all.

A previous comment of yours: "If you were able to read a bit news from European countries where there are millions of Ukrainians - and not only women and children - how the citizens are happy to have them around, many of them with thick cars, they see so many around with the UA signs. (and the unpleasant news despite the strong censorship that's has been established by the EU regimes withing last two years)"

Frequent removals of generals, are, by themselves no indictment of the Russian prosecution of the war. There are plenty of other grounds for that. Thomas Ricks wrote a book explaining that it used to be common to demote and replace generals in wartime. And that it's actually a good thing. Ricks: Firing 'The Generals' To Fight Better Wars? https://www.npr.org/2012/11/01/164096479/ricks-firing-generals-to-fight-better-wars The thing is, in this case, it's clear the Surovikin is more competent than his replacement.

Okay. "However, what relevance does this have to what my question was trying to elucidate, Namely how hotchili's explanation that the warming of the oceans is due to: "More rain is my guess... and that thing that moves it around the world.. wind."
