Jesse "the Body" Ventura is not happy with JD Vance:

Erm, not sure where you are quoting that bullshit from*, but his Wikipedia page is quite clear that Trump nominated him as Deputy Attorney General in 2017, as does his biography with the Senate. Have a read, he's had an interesting career. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Rosenstein...

The Mueller investigation was set up by the Department of Justice whilst Donald Trump was President, by a Trump appointed Deputy Attorney General.

Of course, you have to wonder what official acts President Biden could now do if he were so minded...

Well, well, well. Our American friends are living in very interesting times indeed!

FIXTURES! http://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/donald-trump-2024.397823/post-11047963 I highly recommend the series too. ;)

The previous prosecution was of the Trump Foundation. I don't quite see how promising not to stop an ongoing investigation into Trump if elected isn't relevant to the running on a 'get Trump' ticket idea that you brought up. We must be talking at cross-puposes somewhere.

Oh, sorry, I was just expanding your comment for people who didn't know what Alvin Braggs 'get Trump' ticket was: * Had previously prosecuted Trump * Wouldn't stop the ongoing investigation set up by Cyrus Vance

It is true he referenced his previous prosecutions of Trump in his campaign, and it is also true that he said he'd continue the investigation initiated by the outgoing DA Cyrus Vance.

Actually, the defence team can only advise their client not to take the stand, the actual decision whether or not to is entirely the clients.

Rules, morals and ethics are for other people, not Mr Trump. See his views on people invoking their fifth amendment rights (disgraceful), versus his own use of that right (invoked more than 400 times in one deposition).

Well, this is perplexing. Guilty, eh? Based on evidence? Who would have thought it?

Strictly speaking his lawyers can only advise him not to take the stand, the ultimate decision on whether to testify in his own defence is his, and he will have been asked this directly by the judge

As @lasvegan didn't reply to this particular question, I will. Cohen was convicted of lying to Congress when he told them that the deal to build Trump Tower Moscow ended in January 2016, when actually it ended in June 2016. He did this in order to be 'consistent with Trump's "repeated...

Out of interest, could you explain the specific reason why Michael Cohen was convicted of perjury, and why he says he did it?

That is actually quite thought provoking. I've recently been hearing a lot about equity of outcomes as opposed to equity of opportunity, and it seems like that is a debate that isn't actually recent - merely continuing. Personally I have found the trend for diversity quotas (which seems, to me...

Possibly off topic, though Trump is briefly mentioned, but here is Ben Elton discussing modern politics with Andrew Marr.

I do wonder why Mr Trump has such bad luck with his hires though. He tells us he only hires the best people, but so many of them seem to end up with legal difficulties.

Don't trust the guy who I asked to lie (and commit fraud) for me, he's a liar!

I do hope you haven't ever mistaken me for being a Trump supporter? 🤔
