I really thought the hush money case and the the defrauding the bank case were political witch hunts. I think if Trump had decided not to run, those cases would have gone away like Hillary's email server. I thought the election tampering case was absolutely legit and I think the classified document case is legit.

So, you see Hilary's email server as a potential legal case, even though it was shown to actually be a relatively common practice?

I'm not condoning the email server, I don't believe she should have had it, but how is that a legal case?

And I take it you're ok with campaign money being used to pay off porn stars, I'd imagine that many politicians like how you think.

Fraud is Fraud, why should he get a break? Why should anyone doing it get a break?

So back in 2020, if Biden were to have an affair (ewwww), and covertly paid the lover to 'catch and kill' the story so he could win the election (a campaign finance violation), he should not be held accountable?

Correct. Not a big deal in my mind and apparently not too big a deal to the majority of American voters but a pretty big deal to 12 jurors in New York City.

It'd be a big deal to me. It should disqualify him for the highest office in the land for sure, and I would want him to be indicted for it at least. Shouldn't being POTUS require greater character, not to mention law-abiding behavior, than the average US citizen?

I guess not. Democracy sucks sometimes.

And just to add that I voted against Trump because of the J6 stuff but the convictions didn't move the meter for me.

Wray is giving Trump the finger on his way out the door. Because Wray is resigning, even a temporary replacement can only be someone who has already been Senate confirmed (or served as a senior staff for at least 90 days in the prior year). So no Acting Head of FBI appointment for Kash Patel, he will have to go through Senate confirmation.

"under the Vacancies Reform Act, if a vacancy occurs in a Senate-confirmed position, the president "can temporarily replace that appointee (such as the FBI director) only with a person who has already received Senate confirmation or with a person who has served in a senior capacity in the agency for at least 90 days in the year before the resignation."

Yes. they are not DEI picks. I think Elon, Vivek el al. could do a pretty good job running a company. Elon's the Ford/Edison/Tesla of our era. Dr. Carson was known as a pretty decent neurosurgeon. I would trust Pete Hegseth to lead a platoon of soldiers in battle. Scott Bessent is more than capable of managing my money, etc.

DEI picks are qualified in their field, which trump's picks aren't. Someone being able to manage your money isn't any more qualified to lead the Treasury Department of the United States than someone who plays Flight Simulator is qualified to fly an F-35 in combat. Dr. Carson may have been an outstanding neurosurgeon, but that doesn't mean he can coach football or lead HUD. Linda McMahon may have helped run a fake rasslin' organization, but she is completely and totally unqualified to run the Department of Education. What's the biggest organization Hesgeth has run? How big is the DOD? I mean, WTF are people thinking?
 
"... The Federal Advisory Committee Act says in plain language that an advisory committee – as Elon Musk proposes the “Department of Government Efficiency” to be – must ensure that its recommendations are not biased by any special interest.

Yet, Musk, the richest man on Earth, has a wider and deeper range of potential conflicts of interest with the federal government than perhaps any person has ever had.

... The SEC has pursued cases against initial coin offerings, exchanges and crypto projects that it deems as unregistered securities. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulates cryptocurrencies as commodities – a key distinction from being regulated like stocks and bonds, which affects how crypto firms communicate. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network looks at how cryptocurrency can be used as a tool for money laundering, evading sanctions and financing terrorism. And the IRS expects people who own cryptocurrencies to report gains and losses on their taxes.

Cuts to any of those agencies could have a direct and disproportionate effect on Musk’s personal finances."
