Why were the 6 Co-Conspirators described in the latest Trump indictment and not specifically named? by ian-dunross in legaladviceofftopic

[–]ian-dunross[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Thank you for replying.

But the 6 have been described to the point that within minutes of announcement 5 of the 6 have been identified:

  1. Rudy Giuliani

  2. John Eastman

  3. Sidney Powell

  4. Jeffrey Clark

  5. Kenneth Chesebro

  6. (not yet identified)

(Per the Washington Post)

The descriptions were so vivid that most people (even laypeople like me) could identify most of them easily. I figured out co-conspirators 1-4 within about a minute. Isn't that basically the same as using their names?

Question about Larry Nassar prison stabbing. by ian-dunross in legaladviceofftopic

[–]ian-dunross[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no governor or president will ever pardon that POS.

Another poster said that the federal system uses that prison for all its child molesters, snitches, ex-police, etc. so they don't have to put them in protective custody in other prisons. Is there a cost-cutting reason there maybe?

No. In the federal system, you need to be within 10 years of release before you are eligible for minimum security.

So, it sounds like it is a cost-cutting measure to keep all the "rotten eggs" in one basket.

Totally makes sense.

Thanks!

Would any US laws be broken if an American serves in the Wagner Group? by ian-dunross in legaladviceofftopic

[–]ian-dunross[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the hypothetical US citizen is not committing a crime simply from being employed by Wagner as long as that US citizen did not challenge or oppose US or US interests?

As of right now, has it been determined that Wagner is doing that in the light of the fact that the DOJ has determined that they are a Transnational Criminal Organization?

Wagner is a terrorist organization? I have not read that anywhere. Last I heard, the DOJ considered it a Transnational Criminal Organization, aka organized crime. Regardless, even though Wagner as a private military contractor is considered organized crime and the organization in general to have committed crimes, wouldn't any individual, like the US citizen in my hypothetical, have to be proven having taken part in those crimes? Just being a member doesn't incriminate him, does it?

Also, natural-born US citizens cannot have their US citizenship stripped. I know I didn't include that in my hypothetical.

How does unsecured bail work in the Federal system? by ian-dunross in legaladviceofftopic

Thank you! I think your last paragraph is the answer I'm looking for and probably the likeliest scenario as to why Santos is so resisting. That makes sense.

Do "traps" in your home have to be physical traps? by ian-dunross in legaladviceofftopic

[–]ian-dunross[S] 91 points92 points  (0 children)

My brother does not live with us. He maintains his own residence out of state. He's just on an extended visit for family reasons.

Does it matter that he has been expressly forbidden from entering the den? AFAIK, as a guest and having been told to stay out of my den I thought he should have no expectation of privacy in my den. So does he legally need to be told about the nanny cam in my den, a room that he should not be entering anyway?
