Nor do the people covering this like some kind of gotcha have high ground. why? these are the same people that tamp down some police use of force cases, and say those cases are being politicized. they mitigate facts. they play the coverage very close to the vest because we don t want it to be about politics, but then they do this. they put families like the tibbetts, like the steinles, like the rich family in the glaring. seth rich. remember him? his death, his murder, all about democrat deviousness, until it wasn t. until the family said, stop doing this to us, there s to proof of what you re saying, go away. and once the political intrigue ran out of the story, did you see dogged coverage by the same people about what happened to seth rich? these victims matter, all of them, because they were stolen from this world and they will never be replaced by their family. but the argument is this. ....
He s lying to your face when he says he didn t know until after. so now he s saying you know what, forget about what i said about what i knew or what i didn t know and when, i paid all of it back. so first of all, we don t know that for a fact. but let s assume it. let s give the president the benefit of the doubt. i paid all of it back, so no one contributed anything for me. i call this going the full buckley versus vallejo, for you scotus scholars. that s a case that says you can spend as much of your own money as you want on your own campaign. money is seen as political speech. but even if that were true, the president still didn t report it. anywhere. and that alone would trigger the statute and put him in violation of the law. so then he says, please, no one gets prosecuted for that. tell john edwards. his hush money scheme was handled in similar fashion and he was tried. he was prosecuted. he was acquitted but after a ....
