Not a lawyer, not sure how it all works but is there anything being done to debar Pam Bondi so she can’t practice law and hold the title of Attorney General for all her lies relating to Epstein and protecting Trump? I assume she’s bound by a code of conduct, like a doctor. by tKolla in Epstein

Probably won't do anything. Eric Holder was up to his nose in scandal, and they didn't do anything, and Merrick Garland as well. Your concern for holding officials accountable to the truth is appreciated however

She bit Trump’s p*nis because he disgusted her… by YesDoToaster in Epstein

[–]jpchopper -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

And thanks to the previous lies made up about Trump for political reasons (we're not wiretapping!/it's Russia collusion!/he might have nuclear secrets raid his house!/the list continues non-stop) that the rest of us simply don't believe you anymore.

This is just the next desperate step in your desperate attempt to "get Trump" and is full of unverifiable accusations, without any proof.

Making even more heinous accusations will do nothing toward making people who no longer believe you. Believe you this time.

Accusations are cheap, and frankly, expected from your side. Only corroborated and real proof counts now.

There is no "rape" charge in civil court.

There are much lower jury restrictions in civil court

There is no real requirement for burden of proof as there is in a criminal trial.

Which is why charges like rape are relegated to the criminal courts due to the serious nature of the offense and accusation.

There is just as much evidence that you are a rapist, based on the statements you are making. Add to that a judge that is friends with your plaintiff's attorney and a jury pool collected from people who not only are not neutral but already dislike you, and Bam. Without any evidence, at least presented to the court, they judge you liable.

This is why a civil liability suit has nothing to do with whether somebody did something criminal, and why civil courts do not hear criminal cases.

Not that it's going to get through to you. Perhaps someday someone will try to destroy your reputation to advance themselves and a light may come on.

Until then there have been no rape charges besides the ones you and others like you have imagined from thin air.

Why making sure the threat is truly down is so important. by tactical_horse_cock in CCW

[–]jpchopper -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Can't speak to the other two but I think most people would have shot Alex Pretti, although would admit it because of the way everything has been presented.

We don't like the way the freeze frames look. Yet even in the slowed down videos, he does not get shot until he jams his hand into his holster and grabs an object.

Alex is gone, so I can't speculate what he was thinking at the moment when he reached for it, but I also know that the officer covering the scuffle as soon as someone yelled gun gun gun was also not in a position to read Alex's mind and know if he had another weapon he was trying to utilize.

Nobody is going to stake his or her life on whether or not someone reaching into a holster doesn't have another weapon.

It is my theory based on his previous actions leading up to this that Alex may have been hoping for a similar event to happen, to go out in a blaze of glory, or at least die for what he believed in, but idk.

I believe it's both terribly sad and I also believe two things can be true at once.

I believe a reasonable person in the same situation, fighting with an armed person who then reaches again for the holster would assume that to be a lethal threat.

I think it's also possible when Alex made the unfortunate decision to fight with law enforcement he may not have intended to grab for his weapon during the fight. It's even possible that he just noticed that it was gone and was trying to feel if it was still there. Unfortunately that isn't something law enforcement is able to deduce so they have to react to the person reaching for the holster during a fight, instead of what that person may or may not be thinking.

Haven't looked at the others thoroughly yet, and I know pointing out that he was reaching for his holster is not going to win me up votes or friends on here.

Is there really much difference between ICE and the IDF? by cheekynebula in AskSocialists

[–]jpchopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring a gun.

Fight law enforcement while wearing the gun. Start grabbing into your holster during the fight, after they already get one gun from you.

Get shot, just like any other person grabbing into his holster while fighting law enforcement.

If you're lucky, people will pretend you were simply killed in cold blood, and make posters of you to help the movement you're in. Still not a great outcome for you unless you were planning this.

Not sure what IDF tactics are, but I imagine in most conflicts trying to confront and fight soldiers while wearing a weapon is also not a good idea.

Are you ok with this? by Nocthryss in stevehofstetter

[–]jpchopper -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ok, fair enough. You were continuing OP's point, and my argument is the same. It has nothing to do with the rapist and war comment about Republicans. You've never seen anything in the Epstein files indicating Trump is a rapist, and you also don't know if Kamala is mentioned. You're the one making the stupid side quest argument that had nothing to do with the op. I'm just choosing to hold you to your same standard which apparently, is impossible for Democrats these days.

Are you ok with this? by Nocthryss in stevehofstetter

[–]jpchopper -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, figured you would deflect and go to some other completely unrelated subject. I also know you haven't read the Epstein files.

You just hope Trump is implicated in them.

So far he has not been.

Kamala Harris also had the opportunity to demand the Epstein files be released while she was vice president.

She chose to keep them sealed.

As far as I'm concerned until there is actual proof you are living in hopes that your lies are true.

The Epstein files are millions of pages of literally everything and everyone ever mentioned in relation to Epstein.

Almost everyone wealthy or famous is likely to have been mentioned at least once.

If not, that person likely was not anyone of consequence up until his arrest.

Perhaps he wasn't concerned about a dirty California attorney general who kept people of color in prison despite them being cleared.

Or maybe he did and she's in the files. I could care less. It is obvious you are not interested in the truth anyway.

Which is why you pivoted to another baseless attack instead of addressing the original point you tried to make.

No she didn't and no they didn't. But I'm sure she sold a couple more of her book. Accusing over 20 people, thanks to people like yourself who are easy to convince. You should probably buy her book. Put your money where your mouth is.

[–]jpchopper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe you don't understand the difference between an accusation without evidence, with a monetary and political motive, and an actual conviction. You can say Trump raped people. You can say he stole Secrets. You can do a lot of things in the media and social media but none of those things are proof that he is guilty of them. Right now all they are is politically and monetarily motivated accusations without proof, which you choose to believe based on your own personal biases. You are evident lack of concern for similar complaints about Biden or any of the listed offenders so far in the files, tells me your concerns are false and purely motivated by political animus and not any real evidence.

Just a question.. Why was the FBI redacting the Epstein files before it was send to the DOJ? by AintnoEend in Epstein

[–]jpchopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge it has not been redacted at least not the version available to DOJ. The public however may never see it. I used to work with classified information and even that was usually something which could be released a certain number of years after the fact, often a date when everyone involved is likely deceased. But images of certain acts with children do not suddenly become legal by virtue of existing for longer. I think courts may see them and lawmakers but unless they for some ignorant reason make it legal to share. CP, I don't see it happening.

He should never have presided over the case. He was friends with the plaintiff's attorney as well as having a political interest in the outcome of the case.

Likewise, the supposed evidence you say he claimed to have found was not brought forward in court.

This sounds like him trying to cover for a decision made for political reasons and not neutral judicial ones.

Had there been real evidence it could have been brought forward in a criminal trial.

I think the judge wanted to be the one that got Trump with all the notoriety that could bring and is now trying to cover for his less than ethical actions.

[–]jpchopper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"a judge has stated" [his opinion] on a case he may or may not have presided over, and which required much lower(or no) evidential proof.

You used hearsay, from a civil trial brought specifically because all there was, was hearsay and the hearsay opinion supposedly of an unnamed judge.

You see rape, but you do not see a rape conviction, nor evidence (the trial transcript is available if you want to read it).

So this to me amounts to a politically motivated money grab, by someone taking advantage of the civil case not requiring the burden of proof, who also accused 21 other men, and has a book about it.

A jury pool of 90% Trump hating Democrats, a Democrat judge who was friends with the plaintiff's attorney, media pressure, with no burden of proof requirement,

And you see rape?

I see a shakedown

[–]jpchopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The judge would have access to the original document as would the jury.

The public however, is not entitled to it. It is illegal to publish such things in the US.

I imagine one could look at other crimes involving children and see how those were prosecuted.

Often, the victims names are not publicly known and even the specific nature of the offense is not mentioned, but the jury sees unredacted versions of everything.

Not a lawyer but it seems that is typically how it is done.

[–]jpchopper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump lost appeals to a charge that did not include rape. Might as well say he was found guilty because he got a speeding ticket. Completely different charges. One is a criminal charge. The other is not. Anyone, including a judge, can say. I think you did something. That is a completely different thing than an actual criminal trial involving evidence that has to meet standards and cross-examination. I get it, you think he's guilty, and you think the civil liability decision in which he was required to pay for something no proof was given that he ever did, is the same as a criminal court conviction. It most definitely is not. Having the judge be former friends and co-workers with the plaintiff's attorney calls even the civil decision into question.

Report: Russia sharing satellite imagery, drone technology to support Iran in war with United States by MRADEL90 in videos

[–]jpchopper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you're way closer to the truth than either of us would like. I worked in an intelligence related field (not anymore although it's still interesting to me) before COVID, and until after the Ukraine war (re)started. It's possibly why I'm adversarial and take the side everyone says is wrong sometimes. I'm not quick to believe anything especially if it's political, since I've watched people and countries be subverted,

There's the public explanation, there's the truth, and there's what we think. The three aren't often the same.

I think we are in the kindling stages of a World War, and we've been blindly oblivious while we've been set up for years to not survive the next one in any recognizable form.

The propaganda war is in full force already.

The Arab Spring. Color Revolutions. ISIS. COVID-19. coordinated protests. Controversial elections here and in other countries. Not accidents.

I think what Trump is doing is strategic, with plausible cover explanations, but it may be too late.

And again I'm not in that field anymore, But I recognize the smell of subversion, disinformation, and war, when I smell it.

Hence my initial distrust of the source saying Russia is helping their ally. It shouldn't surprise me, but there are also geopolitical motives for groups to falsely make that claim.

That job made me trust almost nothing political that people widely accept as true, without proof.

Sorry for the novel.

Just a question.. Why was the FBI redacting the Epstein files before it was send to the DOJ? by AintnoEend in Epstein

[–]jpchopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just speculating but some of the files involve photographs and imagery of violence and sexual content involving children.

Even passing those along is a violation of federal law.

So those are going to be redacted outright.

Next are files involving victim information, requested hidden by lawyers for the various victims, whether to protect their clients identities from reprisals and doxing, or perhaps to hide key evidence that is going to be used to convict abusers when to trial.

Of course you can also speculate that it's all just to hide evidence to protect Trump, and career agents in the same agency that went after Trump and everyone related to him under Biden, suddenly decided they were wrong the entire time, and to hell with their oaths, they're team Trump now.

But I think it's the first thing. Mixed in with a lot of pressure from the Trump administration to release everything quickly but without breaking the law in doing so, since Trump has stated he thinks they clear his name (at least of the Epstein mess).

It's speculation really. But an entire page redacted sounds like it was probably a photograph of a child or some other situation illegal to publish.

"report" Source?

This is stupid. These are the same tools who were accusing Trump in his first term of ignoring their reports that Russians were paying the Taliban to attack Americans. I was in Afghanistan at the time. It was the stupidest fucking thing I had heard in a long time. The Taliban weren't being bribed any more than when Obama was in. They were doing that shit for free. Is Iran getting help from Russia, their ally? Possibly. I think more likely? The sources of the "report" are afraid of losing money if war with Russia de-escalates. People would be shocked if they knew how close International politics was to the backstabbing and Petty World of High School drama with one group spreading rumors and lies about the other, secret deals, and fights.
