Yeah check out Alex Jones for another example. The guy is making and spending to the tune of 100k per month, and yet he’s crying poor to the courts and getting away with it.
Unless he’s living in a one bedroom apartment in a shitty neighborhood, there is no equal justice there. Any one of us would have been wrecked and forced to pay right away, and have our wages garnished, which isn’t being done to him clearly.
No, you wouldn’t because you wouldn’t have an incompetent layer failing to exhaust all avenues of appeal. Also you WOULDNT have a media empire to fucking argue over. You know nothing about how any of this works.
This is fairly old (1961), but Advice of Counselis a legitimate defense in some cases.
What’s at issue, especially with Trump, is that if he relies on Advice of Counsel as a defense, it’s elementary to show that many legal advisers told him “No, you can’t do that,” and he chose to listen to the advisers who said he could. IANAL, but it would seem that that personal choice of which counsel to take advice from (“This is what I want to do; I’m going to find a lawyer who tells me I can.”) would make an Advice of Counsel defense void.
That’s actually the defense they’re trying to use in Trump’s NY civil fraud case, and you can use “advice of council” as a viable defense if you can prove:
The lawyer(s) in question did indeed provide you bad advice (putting the lawyers in jeopardy of committing a crime)
The other evidence doesn’t point to you as having criminal intent.
It’s laughable on its face, but it’s scary that it’s not out of the realm of possibility if people like them ever come close to the levers of power again.
The fact that I can’t dismiss that possibility out of hand is terrifying.

I’ll believe it when I see it, cause he’s still living like a millionaire
I literally posted the article with an order that he cannot “get away with it.” He isn’t. There is a timetable for payment on the damages.
Doubling-down on cynicism derived from ignorance in spite of having just received information is fucking INFURIATING.

I’m so tired I actually forgot these two pieces of shit are not the same piece of shit
They were conjoined turds separated at birth, they both came out of Satan’s asshole.
Somewhere in here is a poop knife joke

Oh, I wasn’t trying to argue your point. I was adding to it.

When the bottom tier no longer believes the foundation is working, they’ll start to work against it. When it collapses, the top tier will fall.
No one wants this outside of a fringe set of people. But it may have to happen.
