Yes and don’t tell me he never watched TV. Some TV LEO is always getting something out of the evidence locker for some plot-advancing reason.

Is he acting?
Jordan earned a master’s degree in education from Ohio State University and a J.D. degree from Ohio’s Capital University Law School.

Well Evidence wasn’t a required course in my law school. I took it and really loved it but I digress; it’s possible he honestly didn’t learn about chain of custody in law school.
Which is why I brought up TV, which is chock full of police procedurals.

I think old Jim has lots of practice suppressing any internal conflicts, moral qualms about silently enabling abusive behavior, etc. etc.
Those brain pathways are completely covered by scar tissue by now.

All of us who got our JD at L&O U, know plenty about evidence.

Call me kooky, but that almost seems to me like teaching Engineering without math.

Uh.
As in, “let’s go for a walk to the Capitol”?
That’s … Interesting.
I don’t think I want Wray to tell all. There are times when the Dems need to stop acting like the R’s and try to put on a show.

Not every lawyer, and actually not even most of the people in my law school, becomes a trial lawyer.
If you aren’t a trial lawyer then evidence is beside the point. To narrow it down further, if you don’t do any criminal work at all, probable cause warrants are not in your work vocabulary, either.
I’m not excusing Jordan - he’s on a fucking committee that is involved with these things and he should know.

I realize that, but rules of evidence apply almost everywhere, including contract law.
What of testimony from indicted individuals that they believed POTUS had instructed them to do so, and they obeyed?
We have some of that in evidence already, for a number of 1/6 cases already before the court.
People say the same thing about income tax. It also wasn’t required. And I did not take it.

Long-standing DoJ and FBI policy requires that no comments be made about whether an investigation is or is not ongoing.

Telling us their mindset does not tell us what Trump’s mindset was. If he didn’t intend to incite an attack on the Capitol, then he’s not guilty of inciting insurrection. And the language he used that morning provides ample plausible deniability.

More telling to me is what trump said/did when people in his own party called for help once the insurrection was in full swing. He was sympathetic to the mob. That should give context to his remarks beforehand.

And that’s exactly how the GQP want it.
Only next time, they’ll succeed. You’d have to be seriously challenged to not understand that their post-mortem on what went wrong is thoroughly documented and won’t happen again.
No, sirree Bob, next time, they’ll win. And there will be a next time. Don’t debate the issue.

Yes and no. Yes they will try again. No they won’t win.

But it will be interesting to see how much of the money for the Stop the Steal rallies and March for Trump bus tours that were happening all over the country leading up to Jan 6 can be traced back to the Trump campaign and/or Vladimir Putin.
