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.

Tonight, the New York Times is reporting that in March prosecutors successfully pierced Evan Corcoran's attorney-client privilege with former president Trump under the crime-fraud exception by providing evidence demonstrating that the former president willfully sought to retain classified documents when he was not authorized to do so, and knew it.

"The government has proffered sufficient evidence that the former president possessed tangible documents containing national defense information,' [Judge Howell] wrote, adding that they showed he 'failed to deliver those documents to an officer entitled to receive them."

At another point, Judge Howell addressed Mr. Trump's intent and state of mind, saying that the government had also provided sufficient evidence to meet its burden of showing that the former president had retained the classified documents willfully, the person said.


National defense information.

Well, that should've fetched a pretty penny. Maybe two billion dollars worth? And an LTV Golf contract? And some real estate deals in the Middle East? A Trump Tower Moscow?

You know who's not going to be indicted when the dust finally settles?

The email lady.

Anybody seen Mark Meadows lately?
