    He lied, then accepted a plea to lie about lying, while lying.

    Yeah, that's the ticket.

    Mueller's witnesses are all this guy:

    Uh! Very weird assertion. A guilty pleas can only mean the guy made a deal. It doesn't mean he is guilty or that any charge is true.
    It certainly can't mean any other party is guilty. I am not even sure it means the crime charged even happened.

    As I hear it, the crime reform bill we hear about coming is to restrict the prosecutors ability to make these sorts of deals.

    lmao, this spin is some of the best yet Leslie. So innocent people lie so that they can serve some prison time?

    Innocent people with the slightest integrity never plead guilty. You gotta ask yourself, would you? I wouldn't plead guilty in a Million years. This means that Trump only hires future felons. It also means that his previous hires are either felons or about to become felons. And of course, you've got to ask yourself, what does this say about Trump's integrity? Do you suppose he's like all the felons he's hired or is he worse? I think I know, I think I know.

    Really quickly:

    Would you ever plead guilty to a felony you didn't commit when you know said guilty plea would relieve you of your 2nd amendment right?

    Nah! But that is not what I hear the reform is intended to correct.
    They want to eliminate this bargaining for testimony against someone, where by they get charged with a lessor crime, plea guilty and get off with no time. Just to get the other guy. So I am told.

    So you really think innocent people decide to plead guilty?

    I hope not...

    Are you guys really missing the fact that the Fox News article was about what Jerrold Nadler thinks?


    Really?

    I don't think you were told correctly, at least I can't find any reference to such a change in the bill.

    And I think that would be a very counterproductive change to make.

    I can't either, but it was supposed to get attached at some point. Probably not as it looks like nothing will get done.

    Why don't you guys just say you're sure Cohen and Trump and crew are all guilty instead of make the pretend assertion that innocent people don't ever plead guilty?

    People take the hit all the time in order to avoid the possibility of spending serious time in prison..

    If I was innocent, I would never plead guilty

    What you say you would do and reality are two different things.
