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.

On what basis? I've only heard one talking-head attorney say it will get reversed on the evidence, but the standard on that is there has to be a "clear error". Where is there clear error in your view? And make a serious reply, because I haven't read of any clear errors. - Lapsody

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.
