The funny thing is, I can’t tell if this is a new article or one from nearly a decade ago by the headline alone.
Since when does the law apply to anyone in the Trump family?
Always. It’s just not enforced
So what will be the consequences?
He’s a Republican, and there’s no “R” in “consequences”…
There’s an R in “corruption”.
It’s neither here or there, but there’s no “D” in “consequences” either….
<This is your daily complementary pedantic snarky comment>
If you experience consequences after the D u should see a doctor
Some news paper or maybe a senator will slam him. Then nothing else will happen.
To true, unless you get a state to make the arrest and charge him, Trump would just pardon him. And no state leader (governor) wants to challenge him enough. If there was such, they would arrest him when he landed in the U.S. hold him without bail as he is a flight risk and sentence him to 3 years prison.
And Trump would throw a hissy fit and declare war against a state, which any member of the executive branch who followed up on those orders would be violating their oath, as the arrest and punishment were legally binding
If there were any, they’d be absolved with a pardon or the sentence commuted.
A VERY sternly worded letter.
Susan Collins is furrowing her brow at this very moment.
Not so long as his father in law is head of the consequences department
As a representative of the Trump administration, he technically qualifies as a Special Government Employee — a designation that requires specific legal guidelines.
However, “Trump has not named Kushner an SGE,” noted Legum, even though a 1977 Department of Justice opinion suggests that performing governmental functions under presidential direction can constitute an official capacity.
“Here, Kushner is engaged in activities that can only be conducted by government officials,” wrote Legum.
If he isn’t a special government employee acting in an official capacity, but rather a private citizen negotiating with a foreign goverment on behalf of the US, he’s committing a felony violation of The Logan Act. Not that such things matter anymore, but still.
Meh. Consequences are for the poor.
Add it to the list
What exact law did he break?
Alphabetically, where does it go in relation to “felony” and “war crime”?
The Logan Act as stated in the article
Can it just be a damn rule to include an archive link for sites like this already, cmon
We’re hesitant to put Lemmy in a position of copyright issues, but we do encourage archive links in the body as a secondary option to the original, so long as it’s not presented as the primary or only option.
Eh i can understand that.
I wish there was a way to have libredirect handle this kind of thing. Not sure if there is another plugin that would do it…
The Tesseract front end does that for you.
Rules for thee but not for me
