That, in principle, the DOJ should be allowed to drop a case. Not exactly the exoneration you've been arguing for, is it. And you haven't been arguing at all but putting sources that said :"Flynn pleaded guilty" and that's all matter or "request to drop the case" is an abuse of power or expert's opinion. I don't think I has been arguing with you at all. Edited June 24, 2020 by SUZNV 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, because there still be no evidence no matter how many judges voted for it. I don't take"guilty until proven innocent" as an answer. I never think any system is perfect anyway but will be a new low in my onion, which granted by the constitution. And what is the point of accepting the result if you still think you were right anyway? Just mean you are not going to protest? I can just say the same thing. It just like say sorry or thank you without really mean it. What is the credibilityin these behaviors? Maybe it's better to say straight what I think or say nothing can save some credibility than pretending with empty words.

Peter Strzok / IMAGE: CBS News Strzok and his FBI accomplice, Joe Pientka, went on to interview Flynn three days later with the Logan Act serving as cover to interrogate Flynn about the intercepted phone conversations. The aim, however, was getting him to issue a misstatement that they could use to press perjury charges. Government malfeasance plain and simple, but you want Flynn to rot in prison on a trumped up technicality? Because your TDS is that severe? Because you're incapable of rational thought?

The amount of resources and energy needed to meet its demand will be more than what's available. Energy productivity is offset by energy consumption. That's because in capitalist economies investments in productivity are made in exchange for increasing consumption of what is produced. Otherwise, there is no point in investing in productivity! The total amount of energy currently being used is 20 TW. In order to meet just basic needs of the current population, we will need 50 TW. IN order to meet basic needs of a growing population, we will need at least 75 TW. To meet middle class conveniences, six times our current consumption. My income calculation comes from the World Bank. Where did you find 50 TW or 75 TW of future primary energy consumption ? Honest question , if it is your approximation Please tell how you arrived at this number. I think some people may need explanation. 20 TW is a sort of mind shortcut. As Watt is a unit of power. By stating 20 TW we assume that human population consumes 20 TW of energy on average during the whole year. It would be better to say that we use about 600 EJ exajoules of energy 600 10E18. Whem we divide 600 10E18 joules by number of Seconds in a year that is about 30 10E6 we arrive at 20 10E12 Watts so 20 TW Edited June 25, 2020 by Marcin2 Typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcin2 + 725 MK June 25, 2020 (edited) I think we would peak below 50TW. Current average consumption in developed , industrialized countries is about 150 GJ per capita. The outliers that are 1. very heavily industralized like SK with 240 GJ, or are 2. energy abundant / large countries / never even Heard about energy conservation like US, Russia, Middle East oil rich, Australia etc with 200-400 GJ range. So currently we have 8 billion people times 75 GJ equals 600 EJ. In the happy future when everybody is rich it would be 10 billion people times 150 GJ so 1500 EJ = 50 TW. Without a lot of coal and a lot of nuclear this is impossible. Edited June 25, 2020 by Marcin2 Typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when Obama claims he didn't know anything about this he probably is lying, but no proof. Biden also claimed he didn't know, when the unmasking was revealed we see that he lied. He'd been counting on the unmasking record staying hidden. Flynn is innocent, do try and keep up. A Federal Judge is about to lose his post if he doesn't vacate the invalid plea. Sullivan really needs anti-psychotic meds. He needs to take those marbles he has left and retire. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You chose to lean on the 2-1 decision to claim the amicus curiae was irrelevant and it blew up in your face. Take the L, man. Why would I accept the 2-1 decision yet still think Flynn is guilty of lying to the FBI? Because the 2-1 decision dealt with a question that had no bearing on Flynn's innocence or guilt in the matter of lying to the FBI. You, however, think the decision was more than it was. And because you think the decision was a proclamation of Flynn's innocence your confirmation bias kicked into overload and cornered you into an indefensible position. The correct response would have been: "Yes, I'll accept the majority opinion of the full 11 judge bench, because the issue they're deciding has no bearing on the guilt of innocence of Flynn."

You put your words in my mouth and counter it I did not say Flynn lie to FBI or not. I said there was no evidence and until now the 3 panel judges voted with the score 2-1 in my flavor to drop the case as the consequence of lack of evidence. Evidence is all about drop the case or not. No evidence or drop the case mean Flynn was not proven guilty even if he committed it, legally innocent. Why "they're deciding has no bearing on the guilt of innocence of Flynn"? What do you think of the meaning of this decision? Simply too costly to follow and drop the case to save tax payers and Flynn's money? And the "hypothesis " full courts appeal is because Sullivan thinks he loses nothing for appeal to full D.C. Circuit Court roster and Flynn will lose more money. The worst case scenario is simply dropping the case. Is that a judge's job? "Yes, I'll accept the majority opinion of the full 11 judge bench, because the issue they're deciding has no bearing on the guilt of innocence of Flynn." If this what you want of my answer, off course I accept the opinion of anyone, include the full 11 judge bench. Do I have full mark now? What does it have anything to do with my credibility if I may lose my faith in them?

You gonna shoot me with your opinions or your imaginations? Do you expect me to shout:"Stop shooting me, it hurts"? or "I surrender"? The 2-1 decision regarded DOJ authority to pursue or drop charges. It didn't have anything to do with Flynn's guilt, innocence, or a lack of evidence. The DOJ is the entity that claimed there was insufficient evidence to win their case. The amicus curiae said the DOJ had abused their power by making that claim, which you would have know if you had read it. You lost credibility because you 1) refused to read the amicus curiae to understand the issues at hand, and 2) said you would start worrying and "lose your faith" in the system if the full 11 judge bench overturned the 2-1 decision, a decision that regards an extremely uncommon circumstance that affects almost no one. Clearly, your thinking is guided entirely by your confirmation bias. You have no idea what you're talking about yet you're entirely confident you're right. Damn man, I tossed you a slow pitch softball, gave you a second chance to take another swing, and you still whiffed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
