The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The DA ran on elect me and I'll get Trump. But the payments and related records are a violation of FEC record keeping requirements whose statute of limitations had expired. So the DA has to create a franken crime by grafting those record keeping violations onto a NY fraud statute in order to have a case. That may be fine in Deep Blue NYC, but Dope is right, this case will be dropped as soon as a Federal Court gets it.

Nah, that's by no means clear. Cuomo extended the statute due to the Covid crisis. Can he do that? It looks like yes. Then there's his continuously being out of state. So there's at least two different ways you can arrive at a valid extension of time. If you are saying misdemeanors can't be elevated to felonies if there in furtherance of a crime, that's the way the law works.

And what crime is running for office on I'll go after Trump?
