'An accuser who will not come forward may plausibly be judged to believe that he or she cannot come forward without compromising himself in relation to the criminal law.

And the least penalty that one should inflict on them is not to believe them.'

More from the article:

"That is the situation that now exists in Washington, D.C., a political fortress built around an anonymous accuser in order to create a basis to punish someone—namely the president.

⤵️
This is a course that historically has been the harbinger of legal and political breakdown of the sort that undercuts public reliance on legal processes and guarantees ...
... and therefore justifies extraordinary undertakings in the pursuit of political objectives or even mere acts of revenge.
The purpose of forbidding anonymous accusations is to avoid justifying such retributions.

Some ancient truths would serve us well in this perilous hour."

'There is so much corruption in our politics.

So much more and worse than candidate Donald Trump ever imagined when he campaigned on a promise to “drain the swamp.”

"I am the anonymous whistleblower..." by Rabbi Dov Fischer

@amspectator From the article:

"I am not the only one.

There are many tens of millions of us anonymous whistleblowers.

We have been blowing the whistle unnamed for years.

The Corrupt Journalist Corps silence our voices, hide our names.

Our testimony is suppressed.
But we voted in November 2016 for President Trump.

And we will reelect him in 2020.

They will hear the decibels then."

Amen ~ Orange

A letter to the "Sage of So. Central", @LarryElder.

Although I have always enjoyed you on @Foxnews,
today was the first day I actually listened to you on the radio. For an unknown reason, I've never come across your show until now.
I was tired of the useless rants I hear from so many and
searched along when I suddenly ran into the last hour of @SebGorka, talking to @SaraCarterDC!

(Nice! So good to hear all of you when you're actually able to finish a sentence. Attn: @SeanHannity) 😉
I was impressed and grateful for what you did in the first hour. Debunking the lies perpetuated by the dishonest people in the media is one of the most important things @realDonaldTrump supporters can do.

'It’s simply impossible to understand how an American can be held criminally liable for making a “false statement” when the account of his “lie” was manipulated and doctored without his participation.'

"Is the Flynn case hurtling to a final reckoning?

On October 24, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell, filed a bombshell brief in which she accused the prosecution, led by Robert Mueller alumnus Brandon Van Grack, ...
... of spearheading a politically motivated prosecution characterized by shocking (alleged) misconduct on the part of the investigators and the prosecution team.

Stress, anxiety and depression are not uncommon in a lawyer’s life. According to a survey conducted in the USA by John Hopkins University in the 1990s, lawyers are 3.6 times more prone to depression than other people.

#stressed #Anxiety #depression #Lawyers #law #lawsikho
India is the country with maximum depression in the world according to recent reports. I know a few things about that.
I have been working as a lawyer since 2012 and have been fighting depression for quite some years now.
My lived experience tells me that depression is not uncommon in the legal sector of India. When I talk about it, people around me opens up and confides in me about their troubles. After all, being a lawyer is a demanding job.

Lot of misintrepreations, lot of negativities, lot of 'seizing the opportunity' by many people, jumping into the fray.
I may take a break from social media or i may completely withdraw from social media.
What ever I have gain by this media, I have already gained.
(1/n)
I am here now for others gain.
That I may have review.
Before doing that I wish to open up my mind.
As usual, will start with a story.

Whwn my son was 4 years old, my wife wanted him to go to kirana shop and buy something for Rs 20. She gave him Rs 100. He insisted she should give only Rs 20. My wife did not have Rs 20 note, insisted he should take Rs 100. He started crying. My wife was puzzled.

1. The Supreme Court judgment in the historic trial of Catalan separatists has arrived. 493 pages in total. All the details here. NOT GUILTY of rebellion or criminal organisation. GUILTY of sedition and the misuse of public funds. 13 year jail sentence for Junqueras.
2. We will go through it all in a series of threads. The headline points have been known since Saturday because of a monstruous leak to the press. Four months trial, four months deliberation, 493 pages. A historic judgement for Spain as a nation. The details will be important.
3. Here is the full pdf of the Supreme Court judgement on the trial of the Catalan separatists: thespainreport.es/articles/359-1…

As I sat having my coffee this morning, I looked at the Federal Criminal Code book sitting on my kitchen table (don’t ask). It’s 2000 pages of dense, often-confusing, legal jargon setting out thousands and thousands of federal crimes. How does this book relate to impeachment?
In order to impeach Trump, we need not ask, “Did Trump commit a crime? Is there some criminal law in this big, blue book that we can prove Trump broke, some statute he violated?“ This precise question is what bogged us down in the wake of the Mueller report.
It’s understandable that people would see the phrase in the Constitution, “high crimes and misdemeanors” and conclude that, in order to be impeached, Trump literally must violate one of the laws in this ugly blue Federal Code book. Not so, here’s why:

Remember that most of these things are not crimes because Congress never imagined that anyone would be stupid or corrupt enough to do them
Also what makes POTUS' actions crazy is the fact that he is doing them while holding the specific office he does and owing particular fiduciary duties to the American people -- and you wouldn't have a criminal law that literally applied to only one person.
Really what Trump is violating every day is his entire Oath of Office -- which isn't a specific provision of the U.S. code but rather the entire basis for his fitness to remain in his position.

Indian law protects women from all kinds of domestic abuse. To know more about the provisions of Protection of Women Against Domestic Violence Act, 2005 read our explainer: bit.ly/2CMVlfS
PWDV Act, 2005, gives a broad definition of what qualifies as ‘domestic abuse’. It includes physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and economic abuse. Section 3 reads:
The Act provides for a ‘Protection Officer’ to help you through various processes under the law. This Officer can help you file the complaint, tell you about your rights, make an application to the Magistrate for you, etc.
