Well it seems to me that, to prove a conspiracy under 18USC371, the defendant and at least one other person would have to propven to have known that what they were doing was illegal. That is contained in the 4-part Federal Court jury instructions under that statute as showing " intent to achieve a common goal(s) or objective(s), to commit an offense(s) against the United States;

Trump Election Charges Set Up Clash of Lies Versus Free Speech By Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman NYTimes Aug. 2, 2023 The experts and defense lawyers who read the indictment against Mr. Trump said that claiming that he was relying on the advice of lawyers was likely to provide Mr. Trump with a stronger defense than if he invoked the First Amendment. In the interview on CBS, Mr. Lauro leaned into that argument, saying that Mr. Trump had a “smoking gun of innocence” in a memo that the conservative legal scholar John Eastman wrote for him. The memo said Mr. Trump could ask Mr. Pence to pause the congressional certification of the election. Mr. Eastman was not a White House lawyer at the time. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/us/politics/trump-indictment-lies-vs-free-speech.html https://archive.is/Qr4VC

Then pick a jury who will actually decide what's what.

I use the 65K per month retirement extension. Should that be raised to the hypothetical 100K baht, I would do 1 of 2 things: Switch to a marriage extension or Send periodically a chunk of that 100K back to my US account using DEE Money.

No problem.

Addendum: GOP insiders: Polls don’t capture secret Trump vote 10/28/2016 05:03 AM EDT Those battleground state polls that paint such a grim picture of Donald Trump’s prospects against Hillary Clinton? Most Republican insiders don’t believe they’re accurately capturing Trump’s true level of support. That’s according to the POLITICO Caucus — a panel of activists, strategists and operatives in 11 key battleground states. More than seven-in-10 GOP insiders, 71 percent, say the polls understate Trump’s support because voters don’t want to admit to pollsters that they are backing the controversial Republican nominee. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/donald-trump-shy-voters-polls-gop-insiders-230411

As of Jan 2017, Trump was President. 'Guess it was up to him.

So if a pollster asks a Trump supporter or 2020 Trump voter, 'Do you think that the 2020 election was stolen?' do you expect them to say "NO".

That's OK. At least he didn't go on about persons with high self-esteem or low-self-esteem. (Spoiler: He considers himself a person of high self-esteem.)

I will disagree: I don't think his supporters believe he won the election. They don't care. They think the USofA will crumble if Trump is not again President and they don't care what it takes for him to again get there.

Hillary Clinton’s ‘deplorables’ speech shocked voters five years ago — but some feel it was prescient August 31, 2021 Let’s start with the obvious: “Basket of deplorables” is a weird turn of phrase. There are baskets and there are deplorable people, but pairing the two is the oddest of linguistic odd couples. Hillary Clinton said those three words in the final months of her 2016 presidential campaign, making rhetorical and political history. There were two kinds of Donald Trump supporters, she explained: Voters who feel abandoned and desperate, who she placed in one metaphorical basket, and those she called “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic” — her “basket of deplorables.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/08/31/deplorables-basket-hillary-clinton/ https://archive.is/aZUGk

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CONGRESS MEETS IN JANUARY? Published 6:13 AM GMT+7, December 16, 2020 WASHINGTON (AP) — The congressional joint session to count electoral votes is generally a routine, ceremonious affair. But President Donald Trump’s repeated, baseless efforts to challenge Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential victory will bring more attention than usual to the Jan. 6 joint session of the Senate and the House. https://apnews.com/article/congress-count-electoral-college-vote-5605532631a251ac8f902d1d1ca55428 So as to what is usually a boring perfunctory formality: (Indictment) 87. On December 19, 2020, after cultivating widespread anger and resentment for weeks with his knowingly false claims of election fraud, the Defendant urged his supporters to travel to Washington on the day of the certification proceeding, tweeting, "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild " Throughout late December, he repeatedly urged his supporters to come to Washington for January 6.

As Co-Conspirator 6's description could potentially apply to many in Trump's orbit, it's too early to tell who might be the person in question. There are speculations around Virginia "Ginni" Thomas — the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and founder of a consulting firm — who was found to have pressured Republican lawmakers in Arizona to choose their own electors. https://people.com/donald-trump-co-conspirators-jan-6-election-interference-7568572

OK. Noted.

A key element of the investigation is determining to what degree Republican operatives, activists and elected officials — including Trump — understood that their claims of massive voter fraud were false at the time they were making them. Each track raises tricky questions about where the line should be drawn between political activity, legal advocacy and criminal conspiracy. A key area of interest for Smith has been the conduct of a handful of lawyers who sought to turn Trump’s defeat into victory by trying to convince state, local, federal and judicial authorities that Biden’s 2020 election win was illegitimate or tainted by fraud. Investigators have sought to determine to what degree these lawyers — particularly Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Kurt Olsen and Kenneth Chesebro, as well as then-Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark — were following specific instructions from Trump or others, and what those instructions were, according to the people familiar with the matter, who like others interviewed spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/08/01/trump-indictment-jan-6-2020-election/ https://archive.is/DXhkj#selection-1519.0-1529.73

I always look forward to posts like the above to learn just how it is to have sex in Thailand. Reminds me of this from Coal Miner's Daughter -- Loretta Lynn and husband Doolittle Lynn LL This stuff's cold. DL It's because it froze between here and the damn restaurant. You want a hot breakfast, you got to go with me. LL I ain't going in there having all them people looking at me knowing what we've been doing in here. DL Hell's bells, Loretta, do you think this is something the rest of the world ain't caught on to yet? They don't give a damn.

Helpful suggestion when you are at loss for a new topic: Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?

Does what? Ms. Lima looks a little less transy in this one:

All this was at my age 70. I like the lyric from "Nobody Does It Better" I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me At the time I was somewhat looking but she was more looking. We had known each other off and on as friend-of-friend for 5 years. We then went on a couple of lunches just by ourselves. We were going to do 'just lunch' once again but I said: They are doing a major electric utility job and I won't have daytime power in my house for 2 days in June. I said I am going to stay in a hotel. She said: "Would you like me to stay with you?" And it was downhill from there.

I guess that's one advantage to not knowing a lot of guys. Also keeps me from indulging in the popular rhetoric on here: "I have a friend who ..."

Good Morning, Viet Nam came out in 1987 the year before my first trip to Thailand. I was gob-smacked by Ms. Sukapatana (who is Thai playing a Vietnamese) and saying to myself: Do women like this really exist?

If you structured your financial affairs such that, when you die, it is like she won the lottery, then that is your fault, not hers.

You can take the 40kg. I'll take the 36C.
