Thank you legal eagle 💜

Hey, can you do a video on Business Casual suing KZfaq? I would love to see your take on that situation.

That makes sense, thank you

I will never not upvote a Pratchett quote.

Genuine question - is there a joke/irony in here or am I reading into it? At the end of the day, the height of the gallows makes no difference in a hanging, and results in the same punishment. So higher gallows only passes as a worse punishment to onlookers, but in fact makes no difference

@@markymark1256 no clue if this is not necessarily true but I think Pratchet here is talking about the wealthy man's gallows being smaller than the poor man's, therefore not killing them for things a poorer man would be.

@@markymark1256 You're reading into it, I think - or rather, that's kinda their point. The character is asking what the punishment should be for a crime that significant. They're pointing out the injustice that being poor is almost a crime unto itself, while the rich and powerful cause harm every day for no reason other than greed, and often escape punishment because they go to the same country club as the DA. If things were equal, the punishment for the latter would be so much worse than what the poor man suffers, and yet there is no way for that to be possible, because no matter how high the gallows, everyone's just received the punishment of death... there is no way to achieve true justice here, and all things aren't equal, and the rich man will escape the punishment the poor man would receive. I wish I could remember what character it was. It feels like a Vetinari line but he's a man who throws mimes in a scorpion pit, so.

@@awokentotime7157 When I read Snuff, the quoted section left me with the impression that if a year is fair punishment for the poor person stealing out of necessity, then the punishment for someone breaking the law because of greed would have to be significantly worse. So, if for example hanging a man for negligence would mean a 10 foot drop maybe mass murder would grant a 200 foot drop. This would make the hanging (or falling) period, and therefore the punishment, last longer for the condemned. It's been a long time since I read the book though and from the quote it can easily be inferred in the way that @AwokenToTime has so without going back to the source and confirming the context it's hard to say with certainty, and even then it might remain ambiguous.

Point?

Who said what you're claiming? No one has said that but you. They're saying the POTUS has unilateral authority to declass materials and they do.

it was a secret... to him

You know, a lot of what I see in this entire legal system is someone always trying to argue the point of one law or one subject of law, and the problem is that the constructs of law that comprise that one subject have a much wider scope of effect, and so essentially it's like taking the bottom of an equation and complaining that what comes from it in just one section is unpleasing and so we should fix that one line of equation but when in reality the problem is higher in the equation, has a substantial effect on other non-related lower parts that indirectly balance the part you're working on, but no one uses the indirect to balance the equation and instead they leave that one section they are working on producing their favored results despite the fact that it will throw off the other half and essentially create a bubble. All of the law that is effected is not reviewed at once to balance the outcomes, as what law construction would do. Instead of actually correcting the law, they break it up, throw glue on it, and try to piece together something resembling the original construction. Instead of one case correcting many, there are many cases causing many more. This is just the highest extreme it goes, Executive authority. Executive authority essentially has no authority without all of the other authorities balancing their weight against it. Law isn't a one sided scale. That's what most people get wrong. They say, oh, I should have the right, but that's not what law is. Every right is weighed against a protection. Every privilege is weighed against an immunity. There is never a true law construction that is not counter weighed by some other equal and opposite provision. Ever. It doesn't exist. It wouldn't matter if you were nobody claiming due process rights or a President claiming Executive privilege. Each one is weighed against its equal and opposite and balanced. Your rights are weighed against the protections of others. Your privilege is weighed against the immunity of others. This really is the core of the demise of English common law. Their radicals always start with any tactic to write a one sided ledger rather than a double balance ledger with a debit and a credit system. The Monarch Form of Government is single sided. The Republican is an accounting ledger. They are some of the worst accountants in the world.

That's the secret. An accountant. He didn't actually find one, and in fact the opposite. He's as far away as he can get possible. Accountants with legal backgrounds are stronger than most standard attorneys because it is a self taught ability to factually construct law under a double balance Republican Form accounting ledger. There isn't a degree for it, and they don't teach it in law school because no one graduates law school and becomes a Justice. They don't actually have an education to be a Justice and what work product they study to become one isn't public. It's one of the only jobs in America that is more of a monopoly and a Monarchy than any other job other than being an actual royal member of the royal family.

Do you know what the one thing a Justice does than an "attorney" usually does not? What's the one code in the federal code that the ABA doesn't have jurisdiction over? Yes, the ABA claims to have jurisdiction over the entire federal code except one. The Tax Code. 26 U.S.C. An attorney doesn't work in tax court cases. That's a U.S.T.C.P. They are two totally different bars. An attorney is only authorized to practice in one state and under Amendment X. I am a paralegal by state law and authorized to practice in all 50 US states and territories. An attorney isn't allowed to do that, because they work under the ABA and only the Tax Code has a separate court. There is no degree to be a federal practitioner and practice in all 50 US states and territories. Even if you went to law school, you didn't actually learn what the bar exam is about. That would be an accountant or an accounting degree, or other executive administrative degree. The state bar doesn't have authority over the executive administrative, because their authority is judicial. A Justice has experience reviewing two branches of Government. An attorney only has experience in one. An accountant with a legal background has experience in both. He literally didn't hire anyone to represent him with an experience in the Executive branch and the practice of law to claim a right to practice under the Executive branch.

Google a double balance accounting ledger. It is a debit and credit system of accounting. You debit one side of the ledger and that credits the other side. If we weren't using the Flat Earth Theory when filing pleadings with the court in a flat language construction alone, you would be able to physiologically see what law looks like if Earth were round. You would physically see how a debit to a right credits a protection and so forth. It would all be as simple as reading year end financial records and filing your taxes. Judicial practice and judicial practitioners under a state judicial practice do not have this standard of law. They just run into the court with a quick short and brief summary of their year end financials, never having actually done any books. Why the tax court was created to emancipate slaves and not the district courts. It is a federal standard that is hidden in state and judicial practice, because of the lack of experience you actually have to have to pass a state bar exam. They are entry level practitioners. Reportably, only around 100 people are active on the federal bar who have passed the federal bar exam out of all the attorneys in America. The tax courts sort of cheat out in this concept, because the subject is accounting, but the regular courts could sure learn a lesson or two, and, for that, they are decades behind like using a Flat Earth model. You just see a sentencing running down the paper in one column like a flat Earth with one dimension. Law is factually two columns, written and read in that way. And if you wanted to be relative, it would be in 3D. If they had just advanced from the stone ages, instead of having to listen to this guy rant for an hour, we would just be reading law in a ledger and mathematically account for the law. That allows you to stop where there is an error and know where it is in the ledger, rather than just blindly hoping it was in the right place by comparing language. You hope the edge of the flat Earth isn't there, but you just really aren't sure. That might be the same language. It might not. Can you name every right that gets debited for a credit to a protection and which debit applies to which credit? Law is that simple. You can google what accounts debit and which credit in accounting, but you can't google law construction and see the same thing. Flat Earth law lacks the construction of a balanced equation.

Not really. It established for the first time that federal courts had the power to overturn an act of Congress on the ground that it violated the U.S. Constitution. The issue revolved around William Marbury, a prominent financier and Federalist, sued Secretary of State James Madison in response to not being served his commission for justice of the peace for Washington, D.C. Marbury requested the U.S. Supreme Court issue a writ of mandamus to force Madison to deliver the commission. (A writ of mandamus is a court order for a government official to fulfill their obligation under the law.) It was power politics, start to finish. CJ Marshall wanted to expand the power of the Court and used this case as a way of doing so. By ruling that the Judiciary Act of 1789 (the basis upon which Marbury sought mandamus) Marshall implicitly gave the courts the power to decide which laws were and weren't constitutional. The actual outcome of the case isn't the important part of this (Marshall actually ruled in Jefferson's and Madison's favor), it was the way in which Marshall deftly skirted the real issue and established the doctrine of judicial review.

Makes Trump's claim that he could shoot somebody and not lose a single voter even scarier. Well, at least he's not president anymore, but if he doesn't go to jail until the next US presidential election...

If you want to torture and kill someone, just become president! You can show it on live TV and you'll face no consequences! yay!

It kills me how Trump referred to Article II of the Constiturtion: "Then I have an Article two, where have the right to do whatever I want as President..." Wtf --- HE has an Article II? The Constitution belongs to Trump? I just re-read Article II. There is nothing in Article II that remotely suggests that the President has the right to do whatever he wants. Trump should have been impeached and removed from office just for making that statement. It shows beyond question that Trump has a construction of law that makes him a dictator.

Considering one of the questions on the US citizenship test is "what is the rule of law" and it's definitely not that, everyone who makes that claim, Nixon, Trump, and Fox guy included, should automatically lose their citizenship.

If the judge arrests you it is not illegal either.

It does not. Trump just gave Biden more power with his statements.

Because they want a king who agrees with them and doesn't let the 'wrong people' have a say in government

How does it make sense for the head of the military to be the final word on how things are classified? Hmmm. I wonder. There really is no debate. This issue has already been settled in court. Bill Clinton brought home documents that they claimed he shouldn't have. The courts decided that he had that power as the president.

@@VeryDeathlyShiny I do not have first hand experience, but it is my understanding that these documents are never meant to leave secure locations where they're properly looked after.

I assure you he knows exactly what he's doing.. he's throwing shit at the wall to confuse the people, so that his followers aren't entirely sure or what the truth is but keep hearing ways it may be false. It's not about court, it's about public opinion

@@Yora21 ​ @Yora Trump literally believe he doesnt do anything wrong. Trump claims to be a Christian. When asked by moderator Frank Lutz whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness of his actions, Trump said, “I'm not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so. I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't.”

@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ , He was breaking the law within months of swearing he'll abide by the Constitution... the evidence was all over his twitter feed.....

You definitely have a lawyer’s name.

You must be a sh1t lawyer if you base your judgement on what side of the political fence you sit on.

100% Facts. Awesome channel, super rigorous and nuanced but never afraid to tell the truth.

@@steve_yu Make Orwell's works Fiction Again

That was when he hoped to wheeled the law as a weapon against a political opponent.😒💙🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊

Trump also talked about "draining the swamp," but he only made it bigger and more toxic.

As much as I like John Oliver, it didn't take any precognition. Fox News' existence is explicitly because of Watergate, and Roger Stone is the link between all of it.

Had to come up with some tricks to make his WATERGATE SPEEDRUN

I've had that thought as well.

I was imaging that scene when they were running around yelling 'Parkour' but freaky to be so close!

Nice!!

I DECLARE DECLASSIFICATION!

In his mind, he doesn’t even have to do the verbal declaration. He just has to think it in his mind for it to be in effect.

I think it’s worse because Trump is smearing the FBI You don’t mess with the FBI and get away with just a slap on the wrist

That and the lawyers seem absolutely intent on screwing their grotesquely malevolent, f@#$witted clients. Kudos if this is all the purposeful derailment of Fascist pigs.

Or the lawyer is a globalist trying to bring down the good guy

If we got another Alex Jones perjury moment, but with Donald Trump, that would make me so happy

@@justabookworm1382 He would try to speak over the judge on day one and then implicate himself without realizing it, probably while trying to represent himself since he is the best lawyer, the greatest.

Chinese Spy: "I did not conduct espionage, the president declassified them 3 years ago with his thoughts!" Judge: "Mr president, is that true?" President: "I can not recollect every thought I had three years ago so can not refute that statement as 100% false." Judge: "In doubito pro reo, you are free to go I guess."

One problem is that even were that the case, if the process isn't followed to relabel the documents then his successor would essentially automatically reclassify them the same way. For example Biden having the thought "documents labelled classified are classified" would have reclassified the documents in Trump's possession.

@@murrayjeffree8245 All it takes is one rogue thought that we can neither prove did or didn’t happen. “Schrödingers classification” if you will.

Plus, if Trump can declassify documents with his mind (right before stealing them and taking them home), and if this really was a political stunt like Trump claims, couldn't Biden re-classify the documents with HIS mind right before the raid?

Of course not it only counts when its on Twitter or the banned ones alt.

yeah. like i just got an ad before this video where the narrator said "fetterman wants to end life sentences for felony murder" while the ad displayed words about 2nd degree murder. the entire ad was bogus of course, but anyone who knows that 2nd degree murder and felony murder are two totally different things would easily see the red flags.

sadly trump will probably get out of this without any issues like always (maybe throwing a few people under the bus along the way) and use it to further his next campaign saying he was targeted. its scary how much people that are/were president get away (while in office they are apparently untouchable if their party likes them enough and while there they get to decide who runs all the offices that might later investigate them)

For a civilian: criminal charges, arrest, no bail and eventual disposition with a long stay in a federal Grey Bar Hotel and Day Spa. For military: court martial charges, arrest, brig or stockade, no bail and a long tour of duty with MPs for company.

trump and all its cronies are LONG past prison time executions for all of them are the only thing that will heal this country

Same, and agreed.

Yes, just look at what happened to Reality Winner. And, yes, that is her real, legal name.

It is, and his supporters are in love with it.

Even Nixon had the wherewithal to resign.

it is and the horrible part is that its true the US will never prosecute a president and if it comes to that i wouldn't be surprised if biden pardons trump soley because " it makes the US look bad". the United States has always been a fash hellhole

I mean its not. They have passed monarchy and other more advanced systems of government, heading for pure and simple despotism. There is no law say what the currently strongest says is law and therefore that person cannot break the law, as it exist solely by their will.

@rene Christensen it would be

I think of this scene every time Trump says he declassified everything, I'm a little shocked the clip wasn't in the video.

🤣

Perfect analogy.

Ironic seeing this here.

Trump has certainly been the biggest traitor we’ve ever seen and has spread his treason to half the country to such a point it will continue well into the future. Worse, they believe they are the only true patriots. This is the scariest time in our country since the civil war. I’ve heard people say this my whole life, so it is a boy who cried wolf type of statement, but in my 55 years I finally think it true and this is the legacy he has left - I truly worry about the future of our nation for my grandkids.

@@remy333 seems appropriate to me.

@Mike Byrne even if either of those were true, and they’re not, they wouldn’t be treason. But attempting to subvert the election process, more than once, inciting a violent mob to take over the Capitol for the purpose of interfering with the peaceful transition of power, thereby tearing up the Constitution and forcibly keeping him in power, now those are acts of treason. And there’s really no doubt he’s done those things. That an extremely partisan Senate didn’t impeach him is meaningless.

@Mike Byrne ok. He said to stop them from certifying the election results. To stop Pence. You can try and deny it, try and rationalize all you want. But the reality is both his words and his actions that day and in the weeks and months leading up to that day showed he was doing whatever it took for him to remain in power no matter what. That is basically what you call a coup and that is treason. Worse, his actions and words leading up to that day and since have gotten a large percentage of the country in support of that coup and treason, apparently including you. You cannot support or defend him nor his actions that day and support the Constitution and if you can’t support the Constitution you can’t support America. So I am done taking with you, traitor. The lengths you people will go to defend him no matter what he does is beyond baffling. If Joe Biden or any other democrat did even one single piece of the many acts Trump has done y’all would crucify them. Just think for yourself for just a moment instead of falling for the groupthink of the party line, for once. Just for once, have an honest thought with yourself about it. I said to my wife when he was running as a candidate in 2015 that if he got the nomination he would ruin the Republican Party and if he managed to win he would ruin the nation. I have been right on both accounts. I left the party when he won the nomination because I couldn’t believe the party could fall for such an unqualified conman and I have watched the party turn into a completely intolerant group of extremist bullies with zero ideas except to push lies and conspiracy theories. It has been molded in his image, his corrupt, lying, intolerant, conspiracy loving image and it’s the saddest thing ever for this nation as now we are divided deeper than ever. Have a nice day.

I see you're a man of culture as well.

I literally came to the comments for this right here.

Extensive legal bureaucracy has existed since the first civilization had left-over grain.

Ah.. I was the 69th thumb. So mote be it.

I mean, those people are part of a cult. That sort of insanity comes with the territory, unfortunately.

Oh, he wouldn't give them away. I'm sure he'd demand a hefty fee for them.

@@thexalon - Pretty sure he already has. Expect news in the next few years about a new Saudi nuclear program.

Rather Trump than a puppet.

Not to mention could get you disbarred

Do we believe the any lawyer wrote the affidavit? Trump dictated it, we can tell by the language.😏💙🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊

The likelihood of Trump running out of attorneys to work with him and representing himself, imo, is quite high, and I for one cannot wait to read his motions or watch his defense at that point.

You sir, have insulted many a 3 year old.

He’s gonna have your uncle who is a “legal expert” to represent him soon

Its neither. Nothing will come of it.

He doesn’t think his followers will believe him?

@@jamescox2894 And what if anything will come of it is an entirely separate question from his excuses and who believes them. That you are conflating the two… well. I can see why you would be the sort to fall for him

@@Time_Is_Left - His base is legitimately enthralled enough to fall for it. Look at his defenders in the comments on this video. Honestly, history makes a lot more sense than it used to. People love kings, autocrats, and dictators.

@@NotGoodAtNamingThings Those aren’t mutually exclusive. I agree they are legitimately enthralled lol. They are also dumb

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.

@@kcwicks I think plans for one of those were part of the secret documents Trump was holding in the bathroom at Mara Lago.

Yeah just ask them what happened to Nixon immediately after he said that

@@dielaughing73 well, technically nothing. He'd already resigned. It probably hurt his legacy a bit more though.

@@Blokewood3 Clearly it didn't hurt his legacy.

@@dontmisunderstand6041 his legacy was already ruined

Actually no, but nice try

yeah honestly most of Congress belongs in prison

@@djangofett4879 You'll get no argument from me.

I keep hearing the same thing over and over if you're going to blame somebody why don't you put some real names up I can say several of them most of them are Republican party and there may be a couple Democrats as well but I keep saying most of Congress there's some very good people in Congress and I voted for them and there's some horrible people in Congress Taylor green Matt gets Lauren bobert Mitch McConnell Rand Paul Ted Cruz for example I'm voice texting so forgive me for any spelling errors so like I said give us some names maybe agree with the ones I put up maybe you don't

I think many are also fed up with some politicians being held to different legal standards.

bidens too

lmao lolol

and because it presumably opens an avenue to make the case accountable to Trump... then all they have to do is bribe or coerce the special master into releasing that nothing obtained is damning, and they can do the same shady shit they've done any time Trump has come under fire, calling the individual's character and validity into question, smearing, attacking, etc.

So, everyone here liking the comment is totally cool when the FBI raids their home and using the FBI, to filter through their belongings, to justify what the FBI needs to prosecute you? No one here would like a third party to do the filtering to ensure the legality of the search/raid? Ok.

Haha, so true. I remember hearing that guy say that and a few days later, they sent it to a judge trump picked. Too bad they filled it with the wrong court 🤣

A lifetime of bilking people out of payments they are due is finally catching up to Donald.

Or a dictatorship.

Ehh even a monarch can be held to the law

Monarchies require the throne to go from parent to child. It is authoritarian

And even then... some monarchies can be held accountable

Are you doing something about it besides farting?

It's not just the "unfriendly" nations which are interested in learning what's in the TS documents. It's our Allies too. Why? Because they want to know how much of what they have shared with the US is now flying around in the world that comes back to bite THEM. What is their justified reaction to the news? "Button up everything! Nothing goes to the Americans! They are not trustworthy to keep our information secret and they are not trustworthy in terms of what they share with us as reliable either. We need to rely on our other sources and keep the US at bay."

Trump requested names on 8/3/2019 after meeting with Putin on 7/31/2019.

The only leaking has been the FBI leaking.

The intelligence the President gets is not direct source info. Do you seriously think the names of spies and technical nuclear weapon information is just sitting around on a piece of paper?
