Skin color is the primary mitigating factor in determining appropriate punishment in these offenses (as well as most others). Party affiliation is a distant secondary one. Harris will never, ever see criminal prosecution. It’s questionable whether Dowless will either. He certainly won’t receive meaningful incarceration.
Roger Stone is in court as we type.
What number is that one about bearing false witness? I forget…
Hummmm. Yesterday Harris Sr was crying during his son’s testimony. Today he refers to said son as an ‘ego-maniac?’
I lo-o-ve these evangelicals. Though I must admit I love them the most when they’re crying. Jimmy Swaggart, anyone???
This election must be tossed. If the gods were watching, listening then Harris would slink off into oblivion.
Okey dokey. Entertainment, humor, I love it.

ETA. Stone is profusely apologizing, but it’s probably the Nixon on his back talking.
Set the popcorn poppers to “War Emergency”.
Not sure how you surmise that.
He was not an Assistant US Attorney when Dowless did this in 2016. He only knew as much as any other private citizen did. The US Attorney’s office did not pursue charges against Dowless in 2016.
So, no, with what we know, it doesn’t seem like John did anything illegal or unethical.
Add to that, he gave testimony that was not helpful to his own father.
So his Email statement at the time declaring with certainty that the handling of the ballots was a felony is completely germane to his role as a federal attorney?
Is this your argument?
Let me put it another way-
Does a US Attorney have a legal or professional obligation to reveal his personal knowledge of a felony federal crime reference someone who is not his client?
What email statement? At what time? He used the word felony?
This one? : “The key thing that I am fairly certain they do that is illegal is that they collect the completed absentee ballots.”
Doubt there is any ethical rule where you have to confess anything you’re “fairly certain” is a crime.
If I’m wrong, let me know.
Stating a law, after saying he’s “fairly certain” doesn’t prove anything to me.
You could point to me, the ethical standard that supports your theory. Beyond that, I guess we just disagree.
No problem.
I would expect that I am not the only person to question if John Harris’ judgment shouldn’t be examined with regard to the questions recently raised about his knowledge of these events as an attorney and government employee.
Maybe Mark Harris is innocent too? Creating doubt is one of the prime roles of an attorney after all.
I would, but honestly the Inquisition, Protestant Reformation and Henry VIII were pretty exhausting…taking a break now.
Which is what they just decided to do, hard to believe.
“You flatly cheated in an effort to win the seat. Here, take another shot at it.”
There is no blue migration from northern states. The overwhelming majority of whites moving from northern states are Republicans fleeing democratic strongholds.
Yep:
Later in his testimony, Harris got more pointed about his son, calling him “a little judgmental with a taste of arrogance” and repeating that he had never met Dowless in person.
I know that’ what you want to believe and what Rush has told you, but the facts just don’t align with those comments.It’s a nice spin, but just not true.
Lock him up! Lock him up!
