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.

Yes, still a lie, since you deliberately left this part out.

"In his D.C. motion to dismiss Smith floated the idea that a judge might agree to pause, or “toll,” the statute of limitations because Trump could not be prosecuted while in office. But although equitable tolling of statutes of limitations in civil cases is not uncommon, it’s not clear the doctrine applies in criminal cases absent any express statutory authority. In criminal prosecutions statutes of limitations are part of the due process protections accorded defendants, to protect them from prosecution based on too-distant events."

So, in essence you are admitting Trump is guilty but that he's getting past by the statute of limitations, but it hasn't run yet.

"Federal statutes of limitations can be tolled (paused) for federal crimes primarily when a defendant is a fugitive (fleeing justice) or when the government needs to obtain evidence from foreign countries. Other key reasons include concealing the crime, bringing superseding indictments, or during extraordinary circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic, pausing the clock until specific events occur or the defendant's location becomes known, allowing more time for prosecution.

If Trump dies or becomes incapacitated, the extraordinary circumstances of the case being dismissed because he became President can be ignored, otherwise, I'd expect a try, while it's unlikely, but I'll take luck.

And you still lie.
