Again, what part of 'I am skeptical of the integrity of the prosecution... and I want that critically vetted before I even delve into the guilt or innocence of the accused.' is not clear to you? I was merely presenting ways that 'what he says' could easily misrepresent the actual situation. He made statements as if they were universal truths and they simply are not.
And you made asinine assumptions about what the judge said in your rush to the 'could be'. Again, without bother t o actual underlying facts in the record. Again - -maybe the 'facts in the record' as opposed to a slurry of Ham- 'whadabout my garage, and whadabout my outdoor space'.
*You* made a jacktard comment without even looking into what he relied upon, or why the judicial notice was made. Just a fast and furious bit of Ham 'maybes and could bes'. No -- that is *far* from making a critically vetted comment from your quarter.
Wash rinse and repeat for a number of issues in that regard.
Quote:Said simply, since words seem to befuddle you...
(Among other things the judge said that were not true...) It is NOT true that there is only one way to present the square footage of a property...
Said simply, because issues seem to befuddle you-- you didnt have (and probably still dont have) a fing clue what the judge relied upon in the judicial notice of sq ft.
But leave it to you to regale us with the hand waving you perform on the issue, amusingly bereft of the actual facts in the issue.
As for your asshat comment about 'words befuddling' -- I guess you didnt clue in that the issue presented isnt 'which way it is presented'. The issue is that Trump claimed 30k sq ft over three complete floors. The issue in that Trump only *has* one floor, based from multiple official sources.
So please dont lecture me about 'words seem to befuddle me' when you have an abject problem in that issue, and since you have an abject problem of backing up your thin rhetoric one liners with actual facts.
Quote:and it is NOT true that 'tax valuations' remotely represent the value of (especially) income producing property. The judge presented these things as EVIDENCE of fraud... and they are not.
Among other issues. But in true Ham fashion you fixate on that and denote one sub-portion of one item in isolation -- pretty laughable approach.
Quote:Quote:If you want to look 'critically', please do. Nothing in here or in our PMs indicates your have done anything more than look at rhetorical one liners in your pursuit of 'critical examination', to be honest.
When your only tool is a hammer, you see everything as a nail. Your opinion above is more a reflection of your own perspective, and not of mine.
Coming from the guy that still doesn't understand the basis of the sq ft issue and the hows and whys of how the judge made a determination there -- again that is pretty laughable Ham.
Once you actually stop fixating on one tiny iota in isolation and repeteing the mantra and truism of that item in isolation -- I wouldnt make the comment above.
Or, maybe, if you simply took the time or an erg of effort beyond the thin, rhetorical statements you make that you think are so world important -- maybe I wouldnt make the comments above.
Just a thought.
Quote:Of course not, unless your goal is to impact the political arena and not to 'protect the public interest'. She literally ran on prosecuting Trump... not on prosecuting murderers.
But once again, beware....
She ran on investigating Trump. With the underlying presumption that if he found stuff to prosecute -- she would. Given the Cohen background at the time and the information Cohen has provided, seems reasonable to investigate items that a fixer to the Trump Organization is providing. How terrible, how horrible.
At least you have retreated off your 'she ran with the promise to CONVICT Trump', which was somehow a response based in the civics definition of 'convict', mind you.
