A CIVIL case ? Why would an attorney general pursue a CIVIL case ?
If she came up snake eyes on a civil case--where the standard of evidence is far lower--she probably has nothing.

They impeached him twice, and it didn't stand up. Trump got 72M votes--12M more than 2016--after he was impeached a first time, after the media tried to blame him for coronavirus, etc. They might try to put together a case, but they will lose.

Yeah, but you have a statute of limitations on that stuff. So it would have to be something like fraud, because just about everything else has the clock ticking. Even if he committed some crime 10 years ago, it's probably too late to prosecute. So the whole point would only be to try to smear his name.

Well, at least you realize the entire thing is politically motivated.
B0ycey wrote:There is a diplomatic code like with Nixon but when Trump broke that, the rules changed.
They broke a lot of rules themselves--like phony impeachments, phony Russia investigations, etc. They got an earful from voters on 1/6 and they still aren't hearing it.
Gardener wrote:Firstly, it is not the FBI that is investigating; it is the New York attorney general's office. As for special treatment; there are surely plenty of Federal Laws against Fraud ? Why is Manhattan going for - or contemplating - Civil suites ?
Probably people just trying to make a name for themselves in the Democrat political machine.

Biden has made a hash of the border, has been lampooned by Chinese and Russian diplomats, has seen inflation spike, is struggling to get an infrastructure bill through, and seen soaring gasoline prices and shortages. What good things do you think he has done?
B0ycey wrote:Was it two or three WW3 we nearly entered into with Trump? Can't remember now.
I can. Trump was the first president since Jimmy Carter to not invade a country and topple it's leader.
Gardener wrote:Covid19: he has continued the program initiated by Trump
The vaccines were all part of Trump's operation warp speed and were available before Biden was sworn in.
B0ycey wrote:A climate commitment is doing something. It is a step towards change.
Taking a piss is change. If you're talking about not making mean tweets or something, that's a change. If it comes to legislation, so far it has been pretty desultory.
B0ycey wrote:I could also mention his rescue plan, but for me personally his improved international relationships is all that matters to me.
With whom? Chinese diplomats said that the administration cannot approach them with a position of strength--straight up insulting Biden. Biden called Putin a killer, and Putin responded by making fun of Biden's dementia. AMLO pretty much misses Donald Trump, as he got along with Trump much more so than with Biden. Israel isn't too happy with the Democrats constantly siding against them with the Palestinians. I guess you could say maybe Iran is happier.
