    Chris wants to deflect to an obviously sarcastic comment

    Chris doesn’t want to admit that he can’t follow a simple analogy

    Chris uses MMA/UFC terminology on an internet politics board

    Chris really isn’t smart

    The analogy sucks

    The sarcasm was thick and met with hyperbole

    vy65 is intimidated and lashes out often

    vy65 really isn't smart

    vy65 and I have had our contretemps on this board but he's not dumb. Offers strong opinions that he's willing to back up.

    Way more than I can say for you. Pure PFA.

    Lol what? I go out of my way to hide the fact that I’m a lawyer, even though I’m routinely afforded the basis to brandish that fact.

    You’re just salty that you posted some that was clearly ignorant, got called out for that, and ran away like a coward. Because you have literally zero depth.

    But sure. The WWE guy who wants Trey Gowdy and DJT to spit roast him is clearly in a position to comment on my intellectual chops

    Lol subpoena
    Lol mandamus
    Lol twitter lawyer
    Lol intimidated

    Well, yeah, being a lawyer, this is serious business for me.
    As someone who appears before judges regularly, I can tell you that temperament, evasiveness, and potential ex parted contacts with lawyers are far more worrisome (to me at least) than allegations from 35+ years ago.
    Thanks for this.

    While I haven't fully thought it through, Stormy's position is still a tough one. She signed the contract and received the 130k payment. That should be enough to have the agreement be enforceable against her as a matter of law (at least here in Texas; I don't know if California law is different). The typical rule (again, in Texas) is that all you need is for the party against whom enforcement of the agreement is sought to a) have signed and b) receive consideration.



    I don't really buy the meeting of the minds argument. Cohen likely had actual or apparent authority. It's been years since I've looked at what those rules are, but it feels like Trump wouldn't need to know about the agreement itself so long as it appeared that Cohen had authority to act on Trump's behalf (at least in the eyes of Stormy). And that rule makes sense -- a principal (as in the principal-agent relationship) having to know exactly what his agent was doing would really defeat the whole purpose behind the law of agency.

    But again, I haven't really thought this through much and I don't know California law, so I'm more than happy to be wrong on this. Maybe my yeghpire spurraider21 has more insight.
    Without having read these decisions, I'm willing to bet none of them turn on the phrase "I hope." It's a question of whether that statement, along with other evidence, is sufficient to show whether a crime was committed (the quoted portion in the second tweet makes the same point I made re: cir stantial evidence). I don't think saying "I hope" is dispositive one way or another.

    Also, spurraider aint no ing lawyer yet. This is still my house.
    She's clerking for a bankruptcy judge. Not a federal district judge. Again, you have literally zero idea what you're talking about.

    I've been practicing for a lot longer than whatever this **** was doing when she wrote this article.

    Every lawyer would take someone with actual experience over some student who wrote an rticle. Only a moron like you would think differently
    Trial concluded a week ago this past Monday. My firm, which represents a lot of energy companies, had myself and a partner there observing, along with lawyers from other firms.
    Also, in case you haven't noticed, I really don't give a if you think I'm a good lawyer or not.

    I'm not one of those 1800 abogados who does divorce, bankruptcy, or child support, so you'd never be a client of mine anyway.
    I'm not so sure this is right - but I'm not a criminal lawyer, so I could very well be wrong about criminal procedure.
    Zing. The only thing that would have made that better is if you vy is a ty lawyer

    Ivanka Trump And Jared Kushner Could Profit From Tax Break They Pushed: AP

    President Donald Trump’s daughter and his son-in-law slash senior advisor own a major stake in a real estate investment firm that is set to take advantage of the Opportunity Zone program.

    administration’s new real estate investment program, which offers massive tax breaks to developers who invest in downtrodden American communities.

    The Opportunity Zone program promoted by Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner — both senior White House advisers — could also benefit them financially, an Associated Press investigation found.

    Government watchdogs say the couple’s financial interests underscore

    the ethical minefield they created two years ago when they became two of the closest advisers to the president without divesting

    from their extensive real estate investments.

    Trump and Kushner jointly own a big stake in a real estate investment firm, Cadre, that recently announced it is launching a series of Opportunity Zone funds that seek to build major projects under the program from Miami to Los Angeles.

    Separately, the couple owns interests in at least 13 properties held by Kushner’s family firm that could qualify for the tax breaks because they are in Opportunity Zones in New Jersey, New York and Maryland — all of which, a study found, were already coming back.

    the Kushners could profit even if they don’t do anything — by potentially benefiting from a recent surge in Opportunity Zone property values amid a gold rush of interest from developers and investors.

    Ivanka Trump’s advocacy for the Opportunity Zone program “creates a direct conflict of interest with her spouse’s investment in Cadre,”

    backers of the program acknowledge that Ivanka Trump’s out-front role drummed up interest from public officials and financial stakeholders.

    it also allows “contiguous” tracts that might not be low-income, but are close enough to deprived communities to be eligible.

    Critics say that could allow developers to cash in by targeting zones already teeming with investment and gentrified neighborhoods.

    Amazon’s recent decision to locate a new headquarters in the bustling New York City neighborhood of Long Island City, for example, drew rebukes following reports it was in an Opportunity Zone.

    The Kushners’ most immediate advantage could come from their investment in Cadre.

    CEO Ryan Williams announced late last month that Cadre was starting up an Opportunity Zone fund that would aim to build major development projects in designated areas of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Miami.

    Lemme ask you this, how did you feel going through 6 years of my post history? Did it ever occur to you that what you were doing was creepy, socially unacceptable, or downright stalkerish?

    How Trump Let His Goal of Building a Border Wall Slip Away

    President had several chances to secure money for project

    Administration demands to cut legal immigration scuttled deals

    President Donald Trump has rebuffed numerous opportunities to secure billions for a border wall, and

    with Democrats set to take control of the House that goal could be out of reach for good.

    Trump’s best chance for border wall funding at the level he wants came in February 2018,

    when Republican Senator Mike Rounds teamed up with independent Senator Angus King on compromise immigration legislation.


    It included $25 billion over a decade to build a wall along the southern border and

    a path to citizenship for so-called Dreamers

    It also barred green card holders from sponsoring adult children for permanent residency and

    reoriented enforcement priorities to focus on criminals in the country illegally.


    Trump torched the bill as a "giant amnesty"

    for narrowing the scope of deportations, and

    complained that it didn’t end diversity visas or stop "chain migration" --

    Amid fierce White House opposition and a veto threat from Trump,

    just eight Republican senators voted for the bill.

    Sounds like Trash was playing Macho Man hardball racism, xenophobia with his neoNazi accomplice Stephen Miller and stepped on his tiny

    U.S. Intelligence is frustrated that Trump can’t comprehend even dumbed down reports




    The President’s Daily Brief (PDB), a do ent that for decades has been
    drawn up specifically for the commander in chief,

    “has become more important for Cabinet-level officials than the president,”

    said a former senior U.S. intelligence official who until earlier this year was involved in drafting such do ents. The official, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

    reports have filtered out from the White House that even the PDB gets zero attention.

    it’s probably healthy to have a curious mind and a critical eye when ingesting the kinds of intel a president is likely getting at any given moment.

    But Donald Trump has neither of those things.

    In fact, while it has been something of a facetious bit of snark around the internet,

    speculation as to Donald Trump’s actual level of literacy

    seems warranted at this point.https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/12/13/1818994/-U-S-Intelligence-is-frustrated-that-Trump-can-t-comprehend-even-dumbed-down-reports?utm_campaign=trending

    Apparently Jared is under consideration!

    It could be Jared by process of elimination (of everybody who said No!)
