Это мне кажется верным (жирный шрифт мой):
Key point missing in discussion of POTUS’ comments: He is a desperate, desperate man. Once he leaves office, he has NO protection from prosecution. He’s advertising that he’ll cheat to win, because that’s his only way to keep his butt out of jail.
Индейка сидела на поваленном дереве неделю назад:

Вряд ли он боится, Трамп же сказал, что   I have the absolute right to pardon myself

Вряд ли он собирается покидать офис. Наверняка попытается выборы отменить или начать войну такого масштаба, что будет не до выборов. И республиканцы поддержат, им эта ваша дерьмократия тоже в зубах навязла.

Ну, раз наверняка, то вы, конечно, хотите заключить пари и без всякого риска заработать кучу денег. На какую сумму бы вы хотели поспорить?

Frankly, the idea that Trump needs to be desperate to cheat and lie sounds idiotic. He's been cheating and lying all his life: in business, in politics, in personal life, etc. He's even authored a book which says that cheating and lying is a key component of his business success. And now some former FBI agent comes up with a clever idea of why he's suddenly ready to cheat again. Oh my fucking god!

+1. Рассказы про "desperate, desperate man" бессмысленны, потому что это - обычное состояние.

13 октября 2016 в журнале Time сделали обложку про "total meltdown" https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1437821.html?thread=49364861#t49364861

TIME's new cover: Inside Donald Trump's total meltdown https://t.co/3YstGtYpDK pic.twitter.com/VQ2km55Cwy

— TIME (@TIME) October 13, 2016



По сообщению Кристофера Стила, в это время в Кремле происходила паника и "buyer's remorse": "PUTIN and his colleagues were surprised and disappointed that leaks of Democratic candidate, Hillary CLINTON’s hacked e-mails had not had greater impact on the campaign." А Джулиан Ассанж тем временем находился в переписке с Трампом-младшим https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1393969.html

I don't think that he needs to be; and the tweet does not suggest that. But he is desperate now, and that is what the tweet says. And I think that is correct

What evidence did she offer to support her claim that he's desperate?

Date: 2019-06-14 05:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com
Just the fact that "Once he leaves office, he has NO protection from prosecution."

It's questionable, but let's grant it for the sake of argument. Then, what does she say he's doing to avoid going to jail?

Who knows what he is doing, but it is an important context of whatever he is doing.

What do you mean, "who knows"? Whatever the context, she claims that "He’s advertising that he’ll cheat to win, because that’s his only way to keep his butt out of jail."

What other observable actions does she cite in her tweet?

I mean that we only know what is public information now. And what is public information is already bad, but there could be much more that we don't know yet.

As for the tweet, you have the whole thing in front of you. I don't have any additional information.

Well, she doesn't seem to offer any new information and she has no way of knowing directly whether he's is desperate or not. It's her guess at best and wishful thinking at worst. So far, he's been fairly successful at fighting off all the investigations and subpoenas thrown at him.

Instead of acknowledging this ugly reality, she makes a bunch of unsupported claims because she's desperate to see the rule of law applied to the President. But clearly, he's above the law. He can't be indicted; he can't be removed from the office through the impeachment process; he can't be held accountable for all his lies and cheating. And he wouldn't resign like Nixon did. Her only hope is that he'll be held accountable after he leaves the office, which is another piece of wishful thinking. Trump 1 - Constitution 0.

Как всегда, удивляет не Трамп, а люди, которые лезут вон из кожи, чтобы поставить его вне закона.

This is a pretty aggressive argument from DOJ, basically saying that Congress is lying about its purpose for wanting the president's tax returns and that as a result, the IRS need not provide them even though the statute doesn't require Congress to have *any* reason. pic.twitter.com/u4xzzz5pPN

Perhaps it's time to close the Office of Legal Counsel. It no longer provides objective legal advice to resolve difficult questions. Instead, it serves as the legal propaganda arm of the White House--giving it legal cover for ridiculous political decisions. https://t.co/DBUmCfnaRb

Меня тоже удивляет превращение Республиканцев в партию божьей росы имени Трампа. Его стандартная практика - затягивать судебный процесс на годы, пока другой стороне не надоест. Вопрос в том, будут ли суды принимать решения до выборов, и насколько Верховный Суд хочет выбирать между Трампом и законом.

Когда ради защиты Трампа тактикой затягивания судебного процесса занимаются его личные адвокаты, это в порядке вещей, хотя и злоупотребляет судебной системой.

Когда тем же самым начинает заниматься руководитель Office of Legal Counsel, он просто-напросто нарушает присягу. Во время утверждения его кандидатуры в Сенате Энгел уверял, что скорее уйдёт в отставку, чем будет поддерживать незаконные решения администрации https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Engel%20Responses%20to%20QFRs.pdf
