Really didn't think Wray and Rosenstein would be willing to give up their jobs over this but I guess they are. They were given a direct order. Instead of doing the honorable thing and resign, they weaseled.
Expected more from Wray.
Sara Carter throwing cold water on that OAN reportQuote:
It's this reporters understanding that Pientka will account for what Flynn said in the interviews and will give context to the FBI's accusation that he lied during the interview. If asked, Pientka will also give his personal opinion as to whether or not that was actually the case. He will also discuss how forthcoming Flynn was about very specific sensitive information that Flynn could not have possibly known the investigators already knew, which may give additional insight into Flynn's veracity and willingness to tell the truth.
Pientka, however, will only testify about the circumstances regarding the Flynn interview and the issues that pertain to that interview, according to two sources with knowledge. There is no reason to believe that Pientka has any information on Comey's role in the Trump Russia investigations but wants the opportunity to "state the truth" what has been said about Flynn, said the source, with direct knowledge.
You may be right, but the sentence structure of the cited statute does not require "by force" for each subversive activity. I don't have any real interest in digging up case law.benchmark said:Pretty sure "seditious conspiracy" has to pass the "by force" litmus. Sedition usually applies to radical militias, terrorists, anarchists, etc. that conspire to overthrow the gov using violence.Michael Barnhart said:Well, "overthrow" and "put down" don't appear to require "by force". I say this because of the inclusion of "to" before "destroy"...sentence construction using parallelism...and the use of "by force" in consecutive items of listed conduct.benchmark said:
H"By force" would be a tall hill for a US prosecutor ... he'd probably prefer to chase a lesser crime with higher odds.Quote:
US Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 115, 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
So, can we shoehorn this conspiracy into conduct that constitutes overthrowing or putting down?
Oh. Okay. Thought I was losing my mind there for a moment. Didn't get the subtext that Mueller has been easy on pedos in the past.MouthBQ98 said:

I'm sure they have a benign definition of "pay to play" to explain there's nothing to see here.RoscoePColtrane said:

That's because he know that the entire media, including Fox, will run his little speech over and over, and then repeat his lie about no spy in the campaign.OneNightW said:

Uhhmm? I was about to post a historical reference on the NoKo summit thread. What happened? Just briefly, no derail intended. I did notice many of Watson's posts had disappeared before the lock. Is he a Mod?
Not likely since he's been perma-banned once before.aggiehawg said:

I'll refrain from the obvious rejoinder but thanks. You too, Rapier.Quote:

70% of Democrats still think he should be impeached. Plenty of them are still buying the BS of Schiff and Swallowswell.OneNightW said:
