Tomato tomato.

You're arguing legitimacy, now. The wheel keeps spinning.

quote:

we both know you are weaseling down this hall of obscurity because you don’t want to discuss specifically that the prosecutions of Trump are targeted.

No. I'm willing to accept that these prosecutions are targeted. But that means we're going to have to bring tens of thousands of prosecutions into the discussion as also being targeted. I don't think Patriots are going to want to do that, in particular. They're refusal to do so, however, largely invalidates this "lawfare" idea.

quote:

No, the legislature does not decide which cases to prosecute.

The frick does a prosecutor have to do with a civil lawsuit?

quote:

Your refusal to discuss Letitia James’ campaign against Trump

Politicians are politicians.

Your argument only works if you're claiming the criminal prosecutions are not legitimate, even if a jury disagrees with you.

They are. "No reasonable prosecutor ..."

There is another aspect to lawfare and that is private funding of prosecutions and litigations.

Well we are back to the drawing board.

quote:

1. It is now being used as an investment by some non party interest.

Has been for a long time. This is apolitical.

quote:

2. Non party interest target a company or individual and financially drown them for the intent to make them submit or be bankrupt.

I specifically remember this board being angry when Thiel's lawfare bankrupted Gawker.

quote:

3. Non party interest use dark money to fund public prosecutors to litigate a target. They will be paid either for a side job that does not exist or a future job for their reward.

I don't think we have any evidence of this existing.

Then we have a fundamental disagreement about equal application of the law, Mr. Beria.

Even for elected officials? How?

The founders? Naw. They gave expansive powers to states and "civil rights" were not even conceptualized as being incorporated into the states for decades.

The private lawyers involved need to be investigated in some sort of anti-trust action

What? Based on what?

You're relying on a bad ruling from a judge who already tried that and got smacked down, and will be again. That is not the proper or legal application of the concept.

Correct, but then you have to get in "Deep State" types.

For whatever reason, Trump preferred John Boltons to do this

He got better. Rick Grennell was really good towards the end.

How ironic is this quote? We have to go through your mastercalss of the malleability of the term “lawfare”, but the distinction I made above is not meaningful?

What a clown.

no that’s not what it means. We don’t ever have to have straw man arguments.

Non partisan. We all see your agenda but you. It’s embarrassing.

Hers what the AG of New York has to say about it.

We are trying. We're up to like 12-13 different definitions...from people who believe in it, no less. Only 1 can be correct.

The conversation started with whether Letitia James has targeted Donald Trump.


Incorrect.

quote:

The NY legislature expanded the SOL specifically so E. Jean Carroll could file suit against Donald Trump.


But, even if we want to focus on your digression, the NY state legislature created the wacky, vague business records law Trump is being prosecuted with. Your issue is with them.

The prosecutorial decisions in one unrelated case have no precedential value in other cases and decisions.

It appears the former may have been at play.

I told you. You're relying on a bad ruling to conceptualize your understanding of what our law is. His ruling will be overruled (again).

Now, if you are arguing that we need to fundamentally reform our entire criminal justice system and the precedents therein to severely decrease state authority/power in the criminal realm (across the board, not just for MAGA-adjacent parties), I would listen. Patriots would be very upset with this development, though. They would associate it with BLM and "Defund the police".

No he was targeted for alleged criminal behavior, like Trump.

He can always claim it was political, though.

Trump was targeted because he is the opposition, not because of any action, criminal or otherwise.

If he was Hillary, there would be no charge. If he was Biden there would be no charge.

Why are you doing this thread?

You’re a lawyer from what I can tell.
You should know this.
It’s not a novel concept to corrupt the legal system to cause harm to your political opponent.

So he can deny the political and partisan motivations of the legal proceedings against Trump. He wants you to believe that Trump truly is some criminal and the people pursuing criminal charges against Trump are all acting in good faith and seeking nothing other than justice.

Trump's biggest issue was being a fricking idiot and engaging in insane behavior after the election, which opened the door for pretty much all of this.

The one exception is the NY criminal case, which everyone agrees is the weakest one.

Are we drafting the universal definition with "Other than Hillary Clinton"

?

Lawfare is, "other than Hillary Clinton or Biden"

By the laws of the US and GA, he's likely dipped his toes into that water somewhere.
