an early verdict means acquittal. There are 18 counts. If they were finding him guilty it would take a while to weigh if each charge were satisfied or not. Whereas if they just don't believe Gates, then it's an easy verdict on all of them (or almost all).
Doesn't matter anyway; it's not a verdict note. It's 4 questions for the judge, i'm told.

For those thinking about leaving the RC, this sounds like a test. I'm an agnostic on my best day, but I've read a thing or two about a thing or two on Christianity and this sounds like you're having your faith tested. Maybe not as dramatic as taking your kid to the mountain top for a sacrifice, but you get the idea.
Don't lose your faith over this. Do what you gotta do, but don't lose your faith.
The Church has always had problems like this, too. Back in the 1990s I wrote a history paper on a local parish and they let me go into the Catholic archives to do my research. I found a letter from a priest who was in a rehab in Canada because of his drinking. Really heartbreaking stuff. This was around the time of the Great War. I found another account of a local priest who got into an automobile accident in the 1920s. He was drunk and there was a known prostitute in his car. The account didn't come out and say it, but it was a very touchy situation as you can imagine.
All of that happened one hundred years ago. The RC is like any other human institution in that it's fallible because it's made up of humans. The Church will survive this. It's survived very bad things before.

usually there's a buzzer for the verdict. A written note is a question or a request for something they think they should have, but really shouldn't have and that's why they don't have it already.

I think that part of these guys really believe that Trump is this twisted figure, sympathetic to Putin and the supporting Russian Oligarchs, and has an angle to make money on this.
But the evidence to the contrary are the MANY public actions that the Trump Administration has done that are quite decidedly hostile to Putin and Russia.
And in public, what is Trump supposed to do with Putin? Spit on him? Slap him?
Trump, as the American President still finds it incumbent on him to make a kind of peace rather than foment war with Russia.
Hillary Clinton, in all her argle-bargle and conflicting jaundiced double talk, has actually been quite friendly to Russia (as was Obama), yet, here we are.
The Uranium One case has not penetrated the thick and cloudy cerebral cortex of most of the American people, and probably never will. It is a piece of news that is not going to be promoted by the mainstream milksops.
So in the end, McRaven, Bill Kristol, George Will, Jeff Flake and the rest of the nevertrumpers, are out there because of....."muh principles!" (tm) and trying their best to persuade us stupid rubes they are right and we can't believe our own lying eyes.

Note, in the Steele Texts to Ohr, he keeps saying 'Our', and 'we'.... as if he is speaking for a group, not as an individual.
Steele was not acting Alone, which makes this a Conspiracy between a Foreign Intelligence group, ie, Foreign Spies, and those in the US Government trying to overthrow the US Election.

I know I'm a bit biased but I found the notes from the defense in manafort's case to be pretty devastating.
1. he talked to the FBI
2. he was never audited
3 the underlying loans were secured on millions of dollars of property.
4. Fucking Gates is one bad fish
5 the FBI's expert witness didn't read all the files.
6. he told gates to be completely honest with the FBI.

There is a good possibility that the corruption was already there and Obama merely exploited the opportunity he was given. Clearly, he made it worse because it worked to his advantage.

In all fairness, Ace, there IS a market in the media world for the "respected Republican consultant" or "well-known conservative" who will bash Trump or the Freedom Caucus or the Tea Party or any anti-Left entity perceived to be serious.
Now, the market is not unlimited. You have to squeeze these mini-McCains into a full schedule of left-wing nuts craving a megaphone.
And in most cases there's a sell-by date. I mean, you can keep calling someone like Ann Navarro a "republican" all you want but, after a couple of years of her parroting the Left, the label loses its punch even with the idiots.
But still, there's a market, especially for a rich man like Kristol who craves attention more than anything else.

Jack, I think it's yet another James Baker, appointed by Obama to head the Office of Net Assessment (ONA).
It seems the ONA may be a conduit for CIA funding dirty tricks in, by, for, and against the US Government.
The DOD Consolidated Adjudications Facility (DOD CAF) pulled his clearance. The DOD CAF is part of the Washington Headquarters Service, which, as the activity that also owns the ONA, is a target of the complaint.

According to Don Lemon, Trump is a "dictator" for revoking Brennan's clearance.

Lefties are saying so that he can still "advise" the current WH. Because clearly, Trump wants advice from the man that has called him venal, mendacious, lacking probity, unfit to be President, etc.
As if they couldn't just expedite a new clearance for him if he had some sort of super duper secret info that was needed by the current WH intel team.

Agreed. This is an atomic bomb of a mess. It's an encyclopedic indictment of Federal government the contents of which we'll never fully realize. It's almost so bad we'd need to outsource the investigation to another independent nation state.
It'll never be resolved to a fully satisfactory condition and that's tragic. I was always cynical, but this has forced me to levels of cynicism I never imagined. Those who perpetrated this conspiracy will never get the punishment they have earned. Maybe karma will lend a hand.

I have seen absolutely no one make a good case for why he should be allowed to keep it.

I heard that! As a one-time IRS employee with some minimal clearance, should I be able to go back to the office and look up taxpayer files so I can converse with a supervisor about handling them? Yeah, I don't think any of you would agree. Don't hold the job, don't get or retain the clearance.

They aren't just arguing semantics - the Definition of Reasonable Doubt is the most crucial distinction of this entire trial. Conviction or Acquittal hangs on that one thing more than on anything else.

It's an extremely tight race, which will go right to the finish. Lemon can't take anything for granted if he wants the title. And clearly he wants the title.

I sat on a capital case court martial and for me reasonable doubt meant "is there another explanation for the for the outcome of the crime involving the defendant that could be believed or did the prosecution nail down the explanation that the defendant indeed did all of the elements of the charges."
Mueller did not prove the elements of mea culpa or mens rea.
Did Manafort do these things he is charged with?
Is it possible Gates did this stuff on his own?
Was everything done with Manafort's intent (malice aforthought)?
Is the prosecution of Manafort justice or is it the prosecutors vendetta? (Does Mueller want justice or does he want a conviction?)
Is Mueller impartial towards getting justice or is he trying to get something with a conviction?
In the court martial we found the defendant Not Guilty of 1st Degree, but Guilty of second degree and assault and battery. Because the prosecution did not prove the case for first degree as defined by law.
Throughout the presentation of evidence I kept my mind open to the diametrically opposed outcomes. In the deliberation the jury opened the box to find the state of Schrodinger's cat.
We worked to give the defendant the benefit of the doubt, but in the deliberation the only doubt we could find was the prosecution's case for first degree as opposed to second degree.

People who continue to bitch and moan how long this is taking don't seem to grasp the size of this conspiracy. Every time one layer is peeled back two more are exposed.
I keep saying this but this is by far the biggest political scandal in US history.
Posted by: JackStraw at August 16, 2018 05:28 PM (/tuJf)
Jack-
This is big but it still finite. There's going to be a point where the people involved in whatever bureaucracy were doing their bureaucratic jobs of folding spindling and mutilating paperwork.
It's the gatekeepers and generators of the paperwork that understand what they were doing was wrong and self serving that will be looking at some kind of judgement. And among those there will be some who will try to make it right (like Lisa Page), some will be missed because they are smaller fish when the net tries to catch the bigger fish.
A lot of these folks have known and worked with each other for years. They are husbands and wives, brothers and sister, parents and children.
The connections are good for keeping the secret until the secret is out. Then the connections lead to suspicion, and suspicion to investigation.
And investigation to conviction in Jeff Session's Law and Order DOJ.
Also these crimes are connected to the crime of conspiracy, which has no statute of limitations.
