Re: F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen
Greetings, Saladin4. :2wave:
What "truth" are they looking for? Truth is still truth, so whether any attorney can honestly say they've learned the truth is not always true, or we wouldn't be reading about people who were wrongly put in prison and are not released until years later! Does it seem fair to you that a person's life can be ruined by money-motivated uncaring attorneys? :doh: I hope that never happens to either one of us!
Always remember, in the courtroom it's all too often not about right and wrong, but about winning and losing. That's why the investigation is so important - the investigator
has to get it right.
That's why I don't blame the state assistant AG for winning the case that wrecked our business - I blame the investigator (and her supervisor) for doing the sloppiest investigation I've ever seen (and having been an investigator and investigator supervisor, I do have somewhat of a clue)...and there was nothing, absolutely nothing we could do about it. If we'd had enough money to afford a lawyer (instead of me having to represent us because we were broke), we would have easily won the case - I proved that the state investigator's claims were rife with errors, that a state's witness lied, and that the state had refused to interview a witness who could testify as to what the state's prime witness had actually done (she had tied up one of our residents naked and took pictures and claimed we told her to do it, and did so with the
intent to ruin our business,
and even admitted under oath that we were not on the premises and that nobody else saw her when she did so). The judge ruled against us, saying that regardless of what we (the owners) had done or not done, it had happened at our business and we were responsible...which means that in this judge's world, if an employee at McDonald's decides to put a condom in an burger with the intent to ruin that business, it is still that business' responsibility.
The only -
only - reason we couldn't continue with an appeal is because I had become clinically obsessed with this case - I couldn't
not think about the case unless I was physically doing something else that required mental focus. Imagine obsessing over something almost every waking moment for over a year - it was mentally too much for me to continue.
A lot of people on here would look at that and wonder why it is I still believe in our law enforcement agencies when we got screwed over so badly by one. I still believe in our law enforcement agencies because as incompetent and unprofessional as the investigator in our case certainly was, she really, truly believed she was doing the right thing. Whatever the faults of her (and her supervisor whom I blame just as much for not even reviewing her subordinate's work), they
believed in what they were doing. When it comes to the FBI, they are the best of the best - someone like her couldn't have lasted a month in their ranks - and having dealt with NCIS (well, at the time they were the NIS - Navy Investigative Service), it's really easy to see why among criminals, the pucker factor goes way the hell up when the FBI is even mentioned.
Cohen is screwed...and so is Trump. They're done - it's only a matter of time. The only other option he has is to take us down the path of constitutional crisis...and I really wouldn't put that past him.
