People get lawyers, sometimes they won't talk to you. Even if they talk to you they'll say they'll take the fifth and you have to get documents and frequently fight over documents and fight over things in court so the investigation is a cumbersome process. It's not something that can be done quickly," he continued.

Intent. There's that word again.
The intent defense only works for one side in the Just-US system.

I bet this guy would've liked Barr (or Comey) as his prosecutor:

Well we didn't really all get together and say "Let's have a coup", we were just sort of doing our thing and it almost happened.

I would think given the history of Weissmann you could have a default of "he intended to" and try to find instances where he didn't.

cough bullshite cough

Didn't see any of this bullshite applying to Manafort or Stone or, especially, Mike Flynn.

They indicted, then bankrupted them in defense, and have fought to punish then after sentencing.

The DOJ making Jim Comey's life hell or bankrupting John Brennan is, frankly, more important than an airtight case on some bs process charge that may not result in a conviction in the DC jury pool regardless of proof.

Because the illusion of the "scandal free" Obama admin still carries water among many voters. Perp walk half his DOJ and IC, and no one will remember that all the cases were dropped 2 years later. Make FBI agents think twice before falsifying evidence if theyre gonna lose their house and livelihood for 3 years and carry the stink of indictment for their whole life.

Nobody big is going down that much is clear. I hope Barr and Durham delay that result until after the election to not deflate trump and his base.

I think wiping phones clean, which contain needed evidence in an investigation, doesn't require intent. If intent is allowed as a valid excuse for one's behavior, no one will ever be convicted of anything. Seems to me there is plenty to charge these traitors with today, while evidence for more serious crimes can continue to be collected.

Developing evidence takes 4+ years on anyone who tries to overthrow a president but far less time for anyone who supports him.

Intent can be inferred by conduct. Intent can also be established by demonstrating that the actions/outcome could NOT have been accidental or error.

well, when I got drunk and plowed into a vehicle killing 4 people, that wasn't my intent.

I didn't intend on killing this family while they were sleeping in their beds. I thought no one was home when I broke into the house.

See how this works?

Intent can also be evidenced by AOL chat logs laying out the conspiracy amongst the conspirators.

"Intent" to break the law is not the same as "intent" to commit the act that is illegal.

No one can honestly assert that Hillary did not intend to set up that private server or that she did not use it to conduct her business as SecState. These acts were illegal (i.e., a violation of federal law). Whether she "intended" to violate a specific section of the US Code is irrelevant. However, this is how it was applied.

Total bullshite. Did Hillary do anything that showed she was upfront about the use of her private server to prove it was an honest mistake?
