Tommy Callahan Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 On 5/31/2024 at 3:01 PM, The Frankish Reich said: My quick take: Look it up. I never liked the idea of this prosecution. I thought it was ill-advised for various reasons, although I conceded that the legal theory was tighter than I imagined when the indictment was first issued. But the process was small-f fair, in that it was the process any criminal defendant gets. If you don't like that a prospective jury pool is liberal in NYC, well, then change your HQ to Palm Beach. Capital F "Fair" in a global sense? Well, sure. Argue about that all you want. In my experience I have never seen anyone prosecuted on gun possession charges for failing to disclose a drug addiction. Hunter Biden is being prosecuted for that. Sometimes who you are matters in a decision whether or not to prosecute. Expand In NY they don't prosecute for gun possession unless it used to create a victim.

If he had just slinked back to Mar-a-Lago and continued selling condos to sheiks I don't think he would've been prosecuted. But no, like Napoleon he just had to come back for more. Shakespeare knew how these things end. 1 1

Define where the line here is. Expand A silly question. The obvious answer is none of these. Being tried because you are a threat to someone's power is not a crime. That's where the line is.
