  1. Maybe you did, maybe you did not. It’s one of those things that can never be proven. And for good reason is kept confidential. Thanks. I just wanted the folks on here to see your oft repeated standard answer.
  2. That's Ok. I voted against Trump for President twice. Who did you vote for?
  3. As with the old spiritual: Keep your eyes on the Prize. To me, the prize is that Trump is not again elected President. His felony conviction, for whatever charge, likely does not help him. Widespread gloating over his felony conviction, maybe does.
  4. May he said to him/her: You can't win, (insert name). If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine. (thanks ObiWan)
  5. If being a felon convicted by a jury of his peers or FeConJuPee prevents Trump from being elected President Nov 5, 2024 then that's fine with me. My only concern is that it might have the opposite effect.
  6. The most disquieting facet of this case is that it did not pertain to: anything Trump did as president, nor anything Trump did during his current run for office, nor anything Trump did in the macabre transition process four years ago. It involved his actions nearly 10 years ago, in relation to the concealment of an alleged crime for which other prosecutors declined to ever charge the former president. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/05/31/trump-trial-verdict-conviction-consequences-00160933
  7. REDUX Posted Wednesday at 02:29 PM Trump is indeed a convicted felon. So would be someone who is convicted of murder or armed bank robbery. So would be someone in Florida and some other states convicted of felony littering well less than a pickup truck load. Felony is felony but all felonies ain't the same. ********************** So would you folks be out there proclaiming Trump is unfit tor President if he was convicted of felony littering? I'm concerned that this repetitive CV x times will have the opposite effect as to who gives a @#E@# about false bookkeeping.
  8. NB United States - Information on residency for tax purposes * Section I – Criteria for Individuals to be considered a tax resident As a general matter, under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (Code), all U.S. citizens and U.S. residents are treated as U.S. tax residents. NB2 All my USofA banks know where I am as, when I log in at 9 AM Thai time, they say: "Good morning, Jerry' * https://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-and-assistance/tax-residency/United-States-Tax-Residency.pdf
  9. Per NY Times June 9, 2024 EDT As part of the preparation of the (pre-sentencing) report, the official is likely to ask Mr. Trump about what occurred that led to the charges against him.
  10. To save you fellas excess wrist and hand stress over the next 5 months or so before the November 5 election, instead of writing over & over 'a felon convicted by a jury of his peers', maybe you can just use the abbreviation FeConJuPee
  11. Ask Jordan: Can Jack Smith move Trump's classified documents case to D.C.? May 31, 2024, 9:24 PM UTC “Is it within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Justice to reassign the location of the classified documents case from the Florida U.S. Judicial District to the Washington, D.C. District, based upon the premise that the case involves national security at the highest level and therefore requires the judge assigned to the case be very familiar with such cases and able to make judicial decisions without the baggage of having been given the job of a federal judge by the defendant in the case?” No. The Justice Department brought the case in Florida, so it must proceed in Florida. That Judge Aileen Cannon lacks experience and was appointed by the defendant, Donald Trump, isn't legally relevant to where the case moves forward. Whether the government will eventually attempt to get a new Florida judge assigned due to Cannon’s apparent bias is an open question. But given the legal difficulties I’ve explained with kicking judges off of cases, we shouldn’t count on a new one here. However, this will be a continuing issue to watch as Cannon seemingly does Trump’s bidding in ways that are within a trial judge’s vast discretion. https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/jack-smith-trump-classified-documents-venue-rcna154884
  12. It seems to me what he really wants is that the 2 federal trials are delayed until after the election so that if -- big IF -- he is elected again he can have the federal charges dismissed.
  13. From Washington Post The Trump Trials memo 10 June Bangkok time And in New York, the probation office will hold a virtual interview Monday with Trump, which is the next step in his presentencing process after his hush-money conviction. The former president will participate in the meeting from Palm Beach, Fla., according to a person familiar with the arrangements who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a proceeding that is not public. ************ So I guess no drug test via remote.
  14. REDUX 3 June Regarding any (immediate) Supreme Court intervention: Jury Instructions -- THE FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN ACT pg. 31: The first of the People's theories of “unlawful means" which I will now define for you is the Federal Election Campaign Act. **************** "It is not clear if the federal election law violations could be the basis for prosecution in state court," (UCLA election law expert Richard) Hasen said. "There is also an argument that Trump did not violate federal election law, for example, if his payments were personal and not campaign related." Richard Pildes, law professor at New York University School of Law and an expert on constitutional law, said including the FECA violation as an "unlawful means" provided a federal question for Trump to bring to the Supreme Court. "If the Trump team wants to argue that his actions do not amount to a violation of that federal law, the Supreme Court would have the power to decide on the proper meaning of FECA," Pildes told Salon. "Because it’s a federal law, the Supreme Court has the power to resolve the proper interpretation of that law." https://www.salon.com/2024/06/01/ive-never-seen-that-legal-scholars-say-has-opening-to-turn-to-for-help/ **************** Looming Over Trump’s Conviction: Reversal by the '13th Juror' - World News - Thailand News, Travel & Forum - ASEAN NOW
  15. My 2 long-term Thai girlfriends both grew up on rural farms. The only time they wanted to see a chicken again is after it's been Kentucky-fried.
  16. Just to note: Manhattan D.A. Hires Ex-Justice Official to Help Lead Trump Inquiry The official, Matthew Colangelo, also worked on the New York attorney general’s investigation of the former president. Dec. 5, 2022 “Matthew Colangelo brings a wealth of economic justice experience combined with complex white-collar investigations, and he has the sound judgment and integrity needed to pursue justice against powerful people and institutions when they abuse their power,” Mr. Bragg said in a statement confirming the hire. The U.S. attorney general, Merrick B. Garland, said in a statement that he had relied on Mr. Colangelo’s “wise counsel and excellent judgment” since his first day in the office. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/05/nyregion/alvin-bragg-trump-investigation.html NB2 April 4, 2023 https://manhattanda.org/district-attorney-bragg-announces-34-count-felony-indictment-of-former-president-donald-j-trump
  17. https://manhattanda.org/district-attorney-bragg-announces-matthew-colangelo-as-new-senior-counsel/ DECEMBER 5, 2022 Former Acting Associate Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice will Support Office’s Housing & Tenant Protection, Labor & Worker Protection, and White-Collar Investigations Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., today announced the appointment of Matthew Colangelo as new Senior Counsel to the District Attorney. Colangelo, who most recently served as a senior official at the U.S. Department of Justice, will focus on the Office’s cases, policies, and strategies in housing and tenant protection and labor and worker protection, as well as the Office’s most sensitive and high-profile white-collar investigations.
  18. Colangelo, who delivered the opening statement in Trump’s New York trial last week, was a senior Justice Department official in the Biden administration before joining the Manhattan district attorney’s office in December 2022 https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4633609-judiciary-republicans-trump-hush-money-prosecutor/
  19. Anyone who writes on a WrLife topic page -- I reckon insurers as soon as someone makes a claim they run around the office trying to find an undiagnosed pre-existing condition, it's an easy get out and high 5s all round the office -- is not a credible messenger.
  20. I did my due diligence prior to joining WrLife but it is unique to my circumstances and none of your <expletive self-deleted> business.
  21. Really? It was the general opinion that all the trials would be underway? I don't ever recall seeing that. How Many of Trump’s Trials Will Happen Before the Election? (Aug. 18, 2023) Three different prosecutors want to put Donald J. Trump on trial in four different cities next year, all before Memorial Day and in the midst of his presidential campaign. It will be nearly impossible to pull off. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/nyregion/trump-indictments-trial-2024-election.html
  22. That “this is not looking good” was in reference to Danderman123’s comment about the Trump team not putting on a defense for Trump as I was already familiar with the prior rulings of Judge Merchan that Ms. Rebecca Roiphe was referencing in her April 30 2024 NYT article.
  23. And just as with the Mukasey comment, you posted about who they were rather than anything they had to say.
  24. I was really interested in the Elie Honig comment but next time I'll be more careful.
  25. I put up his quote verbatim -- if you want to attack it that's up to you. But I don't have to justify it to your liking. And the Mukasey quote was AUG 18, 2023: Michael B. Mukasey, a former U.S. attorney general and longtime Manhattan federal judge, said because of the complex issues raised in all four of Mr. Trump’s cases, “I think the odds are slim to none that any of them gets to trial before the election.”
