Federal Judge Orders Michael Cohen Released from Jail and Back Into Home Confinement

If I'm understanding this right: Cohen's agreement with prosecutors forbade him from talking to certain people. I think the ban might have had to do with "profiting from his actions," or something.

Cohen was "caught" talking to people about a book he wants to publish.

And then a judge ordered him returned to jail, citing that as a violation of his agreement with the government.

But now a federal judge says that that agreement had the fundamental purpose of trying to limit Cohen's free speech rights and so that agreement was never enforceable and should not have been used as justification for ordering him back to prison.

"That's my finding," Judge Hellerstein says, after adding that he cannot fairly find it was not intended to interfere with those rights.

The judge is now asking the parties what the relief should follow that finding.

The Trump Conspiracy Theorists -- who spend half their time scolding people on the right for conspiracy theories and the other half of their time inventing their own conspiracy theories -- will be spinning lots of Exciting New Conspiracy Theories about this.

183 Might I propose a Great Amusement as to the street rabble milling violently about, under the BLM / antifart interchangeable Commutard banners?

Let us raise a few Brigades of Infantry, uniformed and equipped in the manner of Washington's Continental Army.

Drill in formations which would be just about as wide as the Portland or Chicago streets, and in ranks about four-deep, per Company.

But unlike "re-enactors", our Troops would have live loads in their Muskets. Mostly, buck & ball loads, given the anticipated close range engagements.

The classic "Fire by Ranks" tactic of the front rank kneeling to aim for the first shot, with the 2nd rank ready to step forward and kneel likewise, for the Second Volley.

First rank steps back to become the Fourth Rank, while reloading.

And etc.

My prediction?

The rioters will have turned tail and run by time the Second Rank kneels to fire. Which they should proceed to do, regardless of the flight of the enemy.

Oh, and all this needs be accompanied by a very prominent Fife & Drum Corps, playing Patriotic Tunes in the Classic style.

And if CHOP style "fortifications" are in play.. well, that's what the 12 pounder cannons are for.

Engage simultaneously in multiple cities on a single night, and we could break the back of this shit in a trice.

Surviving "organizers" should then be hunted down, given a "drumhead trial", and hanged at once, preferably, before dawn.

Shall we call it "Operation Yankee Doodle Went to TOWN!" ?

We watched Trump's entire inner circle get the third degree. A DA or SC or a crooked cop up in their grills every single day, looking to pressure or intimidate them into making a play against their boss. Many of them caught a case, when they wouldn't talk. All of them were threatened.

Only Cohen folded.

197 I didn't need to meet Cohen to figure out that he was a scum lawyer...but real estate Trump needed a scum lawyer and Cohen filled the bill.

The fact that that decision bite Trump in the ass proves he makes mistakes. Trump could have found a scum lawyer that would have kept his mouth shut....as a scum lawyer must under attorney client privileges re matters in their relationship.

However that privilege is subject to limits. But a good scum lawyer will take a dive for his client.
Cohen is an example of what a bad scum lawyer looks like. He looks like a weasel.

That is what these Lincoln clowns don't understand. This isn't the politics of 20 years ago. There is going to be a fight with the Marxists either way, but Biden will put the legitimacy of government behind their coup.

There is a theory that the worst thing that can happen for your political side is to win an election.

Once you are in a position to govern, you find out how hard it is to actually, you know, govern.

I'm not saying I buy that, but lots of people do. It doesn't take into consideration though, a true watershed event/election. Which I'm pretty sure everyone kinda believes is where we are.

279 Utilitarianism has outlived its usefulness.

Posted by: logprof, happily unembarreled at July 23, 2020 02:08 PM (oZuI0)

280 garrett, I think about 70-80% of positives are mostly or entirely asymptomatic. Of the rest, a small % are acute enough for hospitalization, of that group a small % end up in ICU, and of that group a % dies.

Stratifying by age of course shows a more elderly-biased distribution than even influenza.

Sorting for initial health condition (underlying conditions) is looking like it's going to be ..... well, even more skewed than age stratification. Influenza typically has a very skewed distribution on this (i.e. otherwise healthy people rarely die from it), but C19 is looking like it will top that.

Not all areas keep that stat, or publish it. But just as an example, in San Diego County, 95% of fatalities to date were of people with other medical problems to start.

95%.

281 Biden can't tell Asians apart, but that is Trump's fault:

BIDEN: "Look what he's doing now. He's blaming everything on China. He's blaming everything on the Chinese. He's blaming everything, and people don't make a distinction. As you well know, from a South Korean and someone from Beijing, they make no distinction. It's Asia. And he's just using it as a wedge."

Yes, and for the virus itself. Blame Trump all you want bro, but he got cornered by a global operation, and likely had some severe intel early on about the virus itself.

I would also like to know when a Case goes from being considered 'Active' to it falling off the roll of 'Reported Cases'.

4 Million sounds big and scary, though.

So my guess is they will just go with that.

287 AOC gave a speech on the house floor today; now being called stunning and brave on her twitter by her ass sucking sycophants.

But i have to hand it to the libs- they understand psychology and propaganda. There is no substantiation to this alleged slur uttered by the rep to AOC (but he would be correct if he did call her a fucking bitch) but none the less, the narrative has been written and is being played out. Now she is another woman victim.

This shit isn't rocket science and yet we continually fall into their traps.

293 It's a conspiracy when the judge comes right out and says the government was retaliating against Cohen because he was releasing a book? The trampling of his liberties as an American by this POS one-term President is now up for mockery and derision among you reprobates?

Do you even remember the last time you pretended you still had principles and a sound, consistent ideology? That time when you weren't morally bankrupt husks completely consumed by cult of personality?

Then you wonder why you look around and see the country passing you completely by. Say what you will about the left, they believe in what they stand for. Your side is completely lost, having forfeited everything you professed you believed in for a megalomaniacal, know-nothing reality TV show host.

But hey, at least he can identify an elephant.
