    The hell they don't. All campaigns must follow the same rules. Even applied to Hilary in 2016 when she was running for President Blues. Otherwise, you really can't complain if Hillary was caught with unauthorized money being sent into her campaign in which she returned and faced a fine.

    Nothing to insult, it is all right there. Mississippi is dead last at practically everything except incarcerations. Why do you think former Pro Football player Brett Farve got involved in a welfare fraud scheme with money that was supposed to go to the neediest and most vulnerable in society, not to the university? Geez.

    but that wasn't the point of Zorro's comment, was it. They tried the state constitution way and got slapped to hog heaven. Now they are trying the end around, hoping it will keep them in power while at the same time, it will harm women's health and set it back for decades, increase morbidity and mortality rates of both infants and expected mothers, and other areas that have serious consequences to the population of that state, as it is happening in my state where 5 mothers sued the state to force them to define "what is exactly medically necessary." One even had to carry a deceased fetus for two weeks because the physicians were afraid of either going to jail because of what AG Paxton said or face lawsuits in a suspected abortion procedure.

    Can you back that up or just falling for the crap fed to low intellect trump ass kissers?
    Are you saying that no law breaking took place or that trump is just above the law?

    Because when one has nothing meaningful on what to base criticism, it is so easy to just go full hypocrite.

    It is his common deflection technique and pretty much "can't face the music" when challenged.

    I couldn't care less about Trump, I am pointing out that Bragg is an abject failure and is trying to fluff his progressive allies with this nonsense

    are you calling me a Low intellect trump ass kisser? Did Trump break a law-he might well have. Is is a case that requires this amount of resources spent? NO. Is there a pressing need for this prosecution over dangerous criminals? NO. Is the DA a left wing scum bag who wants to ingratiate himself to other hysterical Trump haters? Yes

    America has a bigger problem with home grown terrorists than it does with any external threat at the moment

    no I didn't. I am merely pointing out that this seems to be purely politically motivated by a far left DA

    There is always a claim from liberals that you got him now. But for some reason that never happens.

    where is Trump in my comment. You explained that you spend countless hours on this board whining about our gun rights because you hate the NRA. Do you hate Trump as well?

    Not the point. In our Free Democracy what is a win for all of us is when the Free Citizens get the decision they want, and this election produced that, a Win/Win.
    Yes, our elected Free State legislatures make State law.
    We aren't required to respond to your inanities.
    Fake News. Biden's attempt to overstep his authority was overturned by the Court, not on 2A grounds, rather, the Dipshit Biden Administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)

    “The Court stands by its earlier reasoning and finds that Plaintiff has demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits of its claims that the Final Rule—specifically, 27 C.F.R. §§ 478.11, 478.12(c)—exceeds the scope of ATF’s authority under the Gun Control Act,”
    There is nothing "liberal" about Left Wing Totalitarianism.

    FEDERAL RULES the FEC governs the presidential and vice-presidential campaign financing there is no state law applicable that he is searching for to turn it into a felony.


    Why Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump is falling apart

    .....The problem is that Bragg has long been searching for a crime in the criminal code to fulfill his pitch during his campaign that he was the man for voters who wanted to bag Trump.

    The falsification of business records in reference to the $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels might have been a possibility, but it lacked two things.

    First, it expired as a chargeable misdemeanor after two years — and that was roughly five years ago.

    Second, it was a mere misdemeanor that could be brushed off by Trump even if they succeeded.

    Prosecutors then created a Rube Goldberg approach and suggested that the misdemeanor was committed to conceal a federal election law violation — a crime that the Justice Department declined to charge.

    That theory has been widely ridiculed, even by many on the left. The bootstrapping of a federal crime under this statute appears unprecedented and likely unsustainable.

    The reason that the Justice Department likely declined the case was that it had previously tried to show that hush money paid to bury an affair was a federal campaign expense.

    It failed in the case of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards......

    There are a host of reasons why a married celebrity like Trump might pay hush money separate from a presidential run."

    Why do you think I care about Mississippi and that anything about Mississippi or your attempts to insult the state of Mississippi has anything to do with the discussion here?

    First of all none of us know what charges Bragg is seeking an indictment on so any statements about them is mere speculation.
    Secondly, IF the charges are the ones for falsifying business records then I have to agree that they are damn weak and that this is not the case that should be at the forefront.

    Now the charges coming from the NY state AG (civil, no jail time for Trump), Georgia (serious jail time for Trump) and Federal (more jail time for Trump) are things that need to be prosecuted.

    I don't have politicians who are heroes. That seems to be a mainly leftwing proclivity to worship government. Perhaps lay off projecting

    Well yeah we do know which laws are applicable or which ones he would have to apply in his scheme. The charge for falsifying documents is LONG past the statute of limitations why should he be prosecuted at all for that? And it's just a misdemeanor. And in order to do so he Bragg will have to prove he violated a federal law under this novel new legal theory being proposed.

    What other possible charges does Bragg have?

    Charges coming from those other cases? Like all the charges for the past seven years that were supposed to coming? Like this case that was supposed to be the "we really got him now, we aren't kidding this time, just you wait and see"?
