I wonder if any NRA execs will be charged?

[Kingofalldems]

Let's hope so.

[BlueJac]

1. No!

[empedocles]

2. Yes !

'''

[Volaris]

3. aHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

CHARGED LOL.
You should do open mike nite at the local comedy hut...

No they won't be damned charged.

[AncientGeezer]

4. For..?

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Accepting foreign money and funneling it into a federal election. nt

[Kingofalldems]

7. Yep.

[AncientGeezer]

8. You have to be able to prove that...we ain't anywhere near there.

NRA is a lawyer'd up joint...they don't make mistakes that leaves them open to this kind of liability.
THey haven't been around this long and been this influential by making stupid FEC mistakes

[BumRushDaShow]

10. You have to comb through the indictment

https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1080766/download (from here on LBN - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142110850)

They have been working on this for awhile apparently.

Edit to add this from LBN - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142110975

[AncientGeezer]

14. Did you read your linked filing...? I did.

This crap started in 2015 with this girl.

I'll bet $1k right now to an animal shelter of the winners choice.. NRA has this legally locked down. It's a cake walk.
I'm not a member but I know they have deep legal pockets.

[Kingofalldems]

15. Oops.

[AncientGeezer]

19. Ooopps what....?

Keene was Pres of the NRA in 2011-'13....1 term. During POTUS Obama

[Kingofalldems]

23. The NRA racists hated Obama.

The treason started back then. Not sure why you inject Obama into the discussion.

[AncientGeezer]

25. Only to make sure the record is accurate...

Keene hasn't been Pres of NRA in 5 yrs...

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Yes I read it - 17 pages

and have been reading about her and what happened with the NRA and for some time.

Good luck with your bet. I don't "bet" with anonymous internet posters but I suggest you stay tuned.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

26. Says who? You?

All it takes is pinching a few to squeal. Get them and get a confession. the rest falls into place.

[AncientGeezer]

30. Have at it...it'll be fun to watch....costly for us...but here we are again.

Fighting dragons with bb guns

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

31. We'll see.

Stzrok and Rosenstien didn't appear to be happy about the situation at all. We haven't even seen Mueller yet. This is a big country.

[AncientGeezer]

32. Has WHAT to do with the NRA...Or Treason?

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

33. Yo geez...it's called enforcing the law. That's what it has to do with it. Your assertion was that

the statute didnt apply. i disagreed and every day we go forward it applies even more. theres also attempted treason, conspiracy to commit treason...and offshoots of every other law, they have broken. Calm the fuck down. It's what a jury says it is. NOT necessarily YOU.
Some of the crimes don't actually have to have happened...ala.. treason...just that you meant/thought you were trying to do it. Lots of loopholes in the law. ESPECIALLY when the prosecutors are gunning for you and defending the USA. But, Ill defer to the lawyers. Hopefully Federal ones.

[AncientGeezer]

34. "Your assertion was that the statute didnt apply."....

I've made that assertion where...when... re: ANY Statute?
I sourced the Constitution.

You JUST typed this....."Some of the crimes don't actually have to have happened...ala.. treason"..."just that you meant/thought you were trying to do it."
A crime that's NOT happened can be prosecuted??? What "statute" or part of the Constitution do you source for that declaration?

Do tell me where in ANY legal writings...or the Constitution that a thought of committing a crime constitutes the same penalty as Committing the crime

No... Frig NO. That's NOT how the Law works...and if it EVER gets there..Trumpanzees will have everybody on DU in shackles for thoughts of "trying to do it"...

Did you think out your post before you hit "post my reply" ?

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

35. Above in the threads dude.

Are you a Fed Prosecutor? You know everything I see. I'll end it on that.

[Kingofalldems]

9. Treason.

[AncientGeezer]

11. Do you know the Constitutinal definition of Treason? There's specificity.

Yelling "Treason" at every shiny object isn't a winning plan.

[Generic Brad]

13. Enlighten us

What actions do you think are treasonous?

[AncientGeezer]

16. I'd refer you to ArticleIII SecIII

Treason has a VERY specific legal definition.
Because I hate the Dumpster doesn't mean what he does is Treason...

How many on the Right screamed "Treason" during 8 yrs of POTUS Obama...?
Countless pecker weaseles.

There is a very specific standard...

[OliverQ]

17. Yes, the standard is based on the meaning of an "enemy".

Historically, that meant a country we're in declared or open war with. The Constitution, however, never actually defines it and we have no way to apply that standard to the modern concept of Cyber warfare.

[Generic Brad]

18. I asked for your definition of treason

Not a talking point.

[AncientGeezer]

20. I again refer you to ArticleIII SecIII....

Is there a part of that you don't get?
It's pretty clear.

[Generic Brad]

22. I've got your number

You have been very clear.

[AncientGeezer]

24. You seem to have an issue with Constitutional definitions of words being thrown

around...if that's my "number", using ArtIII SecIII.....Fine. I'll take that number.

Let me ask You...what is Your definition of Treason?
This should be interesting.
Please do inform me of your take. I await your definition.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

27. And you seem to think you know everything.

Theres a lot of crimes banging around in trumpworld. All it takes is a persuasive atty to get a jury to see the light on anything.

[AncientGeezer]

28. I was asked....the definition of Treason...I provided the

Constitutional definition ArtIII SecIII...it's a very specific detailed deal. Not a matter of knowing "everything"...by any stretch.

Other crimes...absolutely possible and I suspect will be a banking deal, FEC crap, tax avoidance probably..but when I see Treason thrown out....not sitting back there.

My brother said The Iran Nuclear deal was Treason...wasn't.

[Kingofalldems]

12. Do I have to tell you?

I think you know. Are you an NRA fan?

[AncientGeezer]

29. Please do....I'd like to hear your definition...

I will of course refer you Again back to ArtIII SecIII... the Only binding legal authority

[Kingofalldems]

36. Awww--Looky here:

[Kingofalldems]

6. I knew they would show up.

NRA is up to their necks in possible espionage/collusion/ money laundering and the gunners don't seem to mind.
