The commissioner of the FEC was told he could only testify IN GENERAL about the FEC’s purpose, not about the case before the jury. In an interview later, he said there was no election law violation in this case. But, depending on where you get your ‘news,’ you might not know this. Understandable.
Okay. The checks to Cohen, and the business records created, were in 2017. How can that be part of a conspiracy to steal the 2016 election. How does that work?
It helps if the jury is shielded from exculpatory evidence, and is instructed that they don’t need to agree on what underlying crime might have been committed. So long as they agree ‘Trump did something illegal,’ without agreeing on what the ‘something’ was, that good enough. Our system of criminal justice died yesterday.
The Climateers want us to stop eating meat because cow burps and gaseous emissions create methane (horrors!), which is actually an infinitesimal percentage of the atmosphere. What they don’t think about is what happens to the grass if cattle aren’t grazing it. Eventually it dies, rots and releases approximately the same amount of methane. In fact, a recent study where cattle were grazing near a wetland revealed methane from rotting vegetation actually increased when cattle weren’t grazing that land. (From grazing, roots went deeper for water stabilizing the land; when grazing stopped, roots didn’t need to reach so deep, causing an increase in the wetland and more vegetation rot.) Anyway . . .
Nice they included ‘sock puppet’ Biden in the strip, although the artwork could use some work.
