Dems won't care. Half will say that shows the Clinton ingenuity to prepare, the other half will say there are no surprise questions at a debate so it's not a big deal.

Trump stated to a crowd in Michigan that if he had cheated in the debates like The Hildabeast did, he would have been given the electric chair.

Politifact will "fact check" the statement and give Trump a "Pants on Fire" grade for lying by saying that nobody has ever been sentenced to death by electrocution, much less electrocuted, for cheating in a debate.

Expect to see a new JSO thread...soon. :nod:

Hillary accepted the heads up on questions...what difference doe it make that she knew she was cheating.
Add Cheater to liar,crook, et al

Also
Via Daily Caller:
Senior-level Justice Department officials pushed back heavily on an ongoing FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation, according to a bombshell report from The Wall Street Journal.

The newspaper laid out numerous examples, based on law enforcement sources, of senior DOJ officials intervening to quash the probe.

Triple infinity, like JSO, is satisfied to take the Clinton campaign at their words about what the statute actually says, rather than reading it himself

I'll say it again for the fiftieth time

Read what I wrote earlier; nowhere do I pretend intent is an element of the statute. To be clear, I don't think Clinton is innocent; she's obviously guilty of breaking the law. That's a big deal to some of you, but it's really not to me. The law can say whatever it wants, but I personally care about intent (I'm sure there are many laws/sentences you don't care for). That's where our logic differs.

And to answer UNI88's question, you'd be guilty of hitting the dog but I don't think a harsh penalty is in order. Maybe some sort of financial retribution but that's about it.

I'd run a very forgiving nation if ever given the chance. :lol:

By now, you must have come across some really strange rules in your place of work. I say strange because to you it is probably common sense and not worthy of putting in writing. The problem is, when dealing with people, any people, you will have those who want to circumvent common practices. It happens on every team, in every stadium, in every sport. Because of this, rules must be put in writing and must be enforced. If they are not enforced, the problem will continue. It's just human nature, sadly.

I agree that rules must be enforced, but I wouldn't fire anyone until they're given a chance to change their behavior(s) or understand why the rule is in place. Obviously if it's something egregious like sexually harassment or getting into a physical altercation, there'd be no chances, but everyone here would be fired if their bosses weren't elastic concerning rules.

For example, I notice a ton of people here posting here during their work hours, I mean over months (let alone years), those unproductive hours add up quickly. Are you not cheating your employer by posting on the internet instead of working? Do you deserve to get fired if you get the job done anyways? And if you're doing your job, couldn't even more get done (I mean you're getting paid, right)?

Rules are subjective. From people like me to Supreme Court judges, everyone interprets them differently.

I'm a procurement analyst. I look at contracts to make sure the people writing them didn't fuck up and then I make a little cross sign over the contract like the Pope and let them sign the contract.

When there are no contracts to look at, what am I supposed to do? Sweep the fucking floor? That's what the Mexican ladies and the retards are for.

You don't care because the damage doesn't affect you in any way you can discern. Anyone with the kind of stupid and flippant disregard for national security has no business being in charge of... national security.

THAT law does involve intent if you work for the Federal government.

I have a feeling that TI wouldn't be quite so "meh" about the harshness of our terrible laws if it was a Republican breaking them.
