Ijebos rely on nice people online to look superior.
He wants the one he will open his mouth and talk you are not in America i am in America and they will fold and obey him. He is too dumb to come over here and try to control every narrative. Now he is trying to remind me i am a Christian because i said he is the minstrel show of harvard.
You want to chastise and judge people who don't claim to be Christians on the tenants that you supposedly hold. Yet, you, who say you are, who supposedly follow those tenants and should know what they mean come on this thread and act the foolish troll while repudiating those tenants. Which situation is worse?

And by the way, you should go and look up what a minstrel show is. What you do on this forum more closely resembles one. You seem to use a lot of words incorrectly. Maybe actually reading a dictionary instead of mocking those who do would help.

You want forgiveness?

Or you are just gonna make noise here. The democratic party you support is not compatible with Christianity
Truthfully I don't think you understand Christianity enough to critique as to how the Democratic party aligns with it. You seem to be taking the Christ and everything he preached out of Christianity. And seem to have reduced the faith into a few versus(misinterpreted) from the Old Testament as most Republicans seem to do.

Look at your trollish presence on this forum and the filth that you align yourself with and allow to influence the faith you claim you have instead of the other way around.

You seem like you're lost in the wilderness.

You want me to follow the tenets of something you want to destroy?

I am only Christian and should remember how I am suppose to be good when I attack you. But you hate Christians and support anything that goes against Christians
The tenets of faith and whether we follow them shouldn't be influenced by what other people's intents are.
Jesus/Christ was literally betrayed by his disciple, knew he was going to die because of it and still forgave him.

That this made sense in your head is the curious thing here. No wonder why you can't even begin to understand the Democratic party's positions and policies which I believe are closely aligned to what Jesus preached.

Christianity is under attack by ewus like you and you are telling me to pretend to be one.

I am a Christian but I don't want to turn the other cheek
So, can you be something if you choose not to follow the tenets of the thing you say you are?
I'm not going to give you a sermon on what it is or isn't to be a Christian. But you and I both know that what you wrote above is antithetical to that. But keep fooling yourself and those who you think you can fool.

John 13:34-35

Ijebos who Was a minstrel show in Harvard says he has Google. imagine some who is like You don't live in the US so you cannot know is using google up and down when he lives in the US. or is google when used in US different from google used in Nigeria? You will always hear him say google this and that. None of them are talking about this. for years the fools believed trump was Colluding with russia. he also believed trump insulted dead marines.

grin according to benalvino3, stringing more than three words together coherently is bad while kikikikikikiki is good! Apparently, when he is too dumb to comprehend a simple sentence immediately, the person who wrote it must have sought assistance from a dictionary because in benalvino3's world he is the standard of intelligence grin
It's peculiar. Education is a big deal in my family and my circles. I would read the dictionary as a kid to even study for the SAT. And I couldn't imagine anyone in my circle making a joke about someone using a dictionary. It's this anti-intellectualism of the Republican Party, where someone like DeSantis won't even say he went to Harvard and Yale. He'll say he schooled in the Northeast.
It's also this lack of shame Benalvino3 and his cohorts on this forum have. I'd be embarrassed to admit I didn't understand the words you used. Or even getting caught lying they way he does. But shamelessness seems to be a value to them.

Lastly we live in the age of Google. There should be no reason anybody should be peddling misinformation or be this uninformed. If anyone wants to know why Hunter Biden and Wesley Snipes cases are different. Google the shit. Wesley Snipes wouldn't pay his taxes (23 million) and made up some BS reasons why he didn't have to, Hunter Biden paid ALL his back taxes(200,000). Apples and Oranges. What is similar is that the same empty heads on this forum fall for the same Right Wing divisive race BS. Black man got time, white man didn't. Blah Blah Blah. Expecting all black people to be as stupid and intellectually uncurious as Benalvino3.

Seriously, get a refund. I also posted Hillary requesting docsfrom either Cheryl Mills or Huma to send to her nonsecure bathroom server.
And her asking her maid to print classified docs.

I can respect that fact that you aren't too crazy that you accepted the facts and moved on to your equally nutty catch-all position that the during the TRUMP administration the IG's office covered up the Clinton investigation. Let's see how long Benvalino3 takes to accept the facts.

Comey was wrong. Comey admitted he was wrong. The IG investigation into the investigation found he was wrong.
Here is the timeline:
A- Comey makes comments above saying Clinton had 3 classified documents
B- Comey corrects his statement saying though the emails had "c" in them they didn't have classified headers. So no-one would have known they were classified.
C- The IG investigation further said that "c" meant confidential not classified. And further went on to say Clinton had no classified documents. The IG investigation is the definitive account of what happened.

Just like the alphabet what happened in C came after what happened in B and C. But for some reason you and your ilk keep repeating and reposting A as if time stood still after that.

Part of Comeys statement.Note these were the ones she returned.
She deleted another 30k emails claiming it was toga and her daughter's wedding ( Ghislaine Maxwell was a guest).
Not forgetting after being subpoenad, she deleted and crushed her mobile devices with hammers

From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.
Dumbass for the last time, Comey was wrong. Comey admitted he was wrong. The IG investigation into the investigation found he was wrong.
Here is the timeline:
A- Comey makes comments saying Clinton had 3 classified documents

Hillary mishandled Classified Documents, Put it and her private server and transmit it. She was investigated for that and was found that she had classified data in the server and transmitted them.

You are the one who lied she never had classified documents in her Server.... james just woke up one morning and decided to investigate someone if she has intent.

intent to take something she never took according to you.

You too mumu. you cannot even make a reasonable argument here. you are contradicting yourself.

Mumu no one was investigated for intent... she was investigated for mishandling classified Documents. when you set up a server, Then transmit classified info and documents from it to unauthorized parties... that is mishandling of classified documents.

If i had the intention to kill you, does that mean i killed you? you see how stupid you are?
Holy Shit. Did you just write that?

This is 18 U.S.C. §§ 793(d) which she was investigated for

Whoever, lawfully having possession of, access to, control over, or being entrusted with any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, or note relating to the national defense, or information relating to the national defense which information the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it on demand to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it; or
You see that bolded willfully in that statute. That is intent. Not accidentally, but willfully or with intent. Mens Rea.
Holy Shit. How do you tell someone you have 0 idea about US law with out saying it? The statement you wrote above. Do you even understand what an element of a crime is?

Holy Shit. You spend your life on this forum talking about Hilary Clinton yet have 0 clue what she was investigated for.
No wonder why you don't understand why there is no double standard (beyond not understanding the meaning of the word) between Hillary and Trump.
Besides the fact that Hilary didn't have classified documents, there was no intent (there was no willfulness). That is the reason Pence and Biden(most likely) won't be prosecuted for having top secret documents. It's because once trump knew he had them and then didn't return them, he had an "intent" to keep them. His actions became willful. And intent is what this crime hinges on, in fact what a lot of US law hinges on.

But back to the elements of a crime and your example you seem not to understand.
A crime can have multiple elements(I'll use 2 for an example). Such that { "Element 1" AND "Element 2" = "The Crime"} (That AND is a logical AND for your feeble mind). So if "Element 1 = Have top secret documents" and "Element 2 = Willfulness (Intent)". If either of those conditions aren't met there is no crime. So when someone says, "She had no intent to steal classified items", it's legal speak, which means Element 2 is false and so there is no Crime. In this case we also know she didn't have classified documents either. So Element 1 would be false as well and there would be no crime even if she did have an "intent to retain classified items" which she didn't. That is how US law works. Why prosecutors are so careful what they bring to trial because in trial they have to prove each element which the Judge will instruct the jury on.

Holy shit though. I assume people are as capable of processing information as I am. You're not. For whatever reason you seem to have an inability to process these basic concepts. And on top of that you're intellectual uncurious and intellectual dishonest.

But, you keep posting shit in this forum you have 0 idea about. Anybody reading what you post will come out dumber for it. You are literally the Fox News of this thread. What makes it worse is that someone liked this LITERAL nonsense you posted.

-None of the emails contained clear classification markings as required under Executive Order 13526 and its predecessor. Only three email chains contained any classification markings of any kind. These email chains had one or two paragraphs that were marked “(C)” for “Confidential” but contained none of the other required markings, such as classification headers
https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/4515893/Justice-Dept-IG-report-on-handling-of-Clinton.pdf

After all this time and misreporting in the media, once again we need a reminder that, in fact, the FBI found that not one of Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 emails they reviewed contained any recognizable classified information marking.   
https://thehill.com/opinion/3836347-davis-time-to-correct-the-record-again-hillary-clinton-did-not-have-a-single-email-marked-classified/

At a Congressional hearing Thursday morning, however, Comey admitted that the three emails to which he was referring were not, in fact, properly marked as classified, and that even a person with reasonable expertise in identifying classified material could make the “reasonable inference” that these emails were not classified:

There is double standards. Saying they let hillary go while they did not do the same for trump is talking about double standards rather than whataboutism.

Hillary was accused of Mishandling Classified documents by the FBI... same thing they accused trump of. are you living under a rock?
Comey said he decided not to indict hillary...
. You are too dumb to grasp this?

trump as been a headless chicken for giving his enemies excuse to get him this time. and if the reports are true i want him to be punished for being a headless chicken.

but watch from Comey himself saying she broke the law
This is an asinine post.
(All the quotes below are form the IG's (DOJ Inspector General) Report on the Handling of the Clinton Case. If you haven't read it, read the executive summary. Probably a better use of your time than repeatedly posting racist nonsense here.
https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/4515893/Justice-Dept-IG-report-on-handling-of-Clinton.pdf
1.) The DOJ either indicts or declines to indict after an investigation. Declining to indict doesn't mean any criminality occurred. And when they do decline to indict they don't give reasons. In fact Comey broke policy and was criticized for giving that press conference and speaking about Clinton's uncharged conduct.
We concluded that Comey’s unilateral announcement was inconsistent with Department policy and violated long-standing Department practice and protocol by, among other things, criticizing Clinton’s uncharged conduct. We also found that Comey usurped the authority of the Attorney General, and inadequately and incompletely described the legal position of Department prosecutors.
2.)Again, you seem to use words you really don't understand. Google the definition of "double standard". A double standard needs two similar things with different reactions/outcomes. i.e Hunter Biden getting 2 misdemeanors for not paying 200k in taxes while Roger Stone getting nothing for not paying 2 million in back taxes.

3.) Again, you tend to post articles/clips that you either didn't watch/read or don't understand. Comey's clip should explain why Clinton was not charged and Trump was. Some of it has to do with a thing called mens rea(guilty mind) or intent. Clinton had no intent to keep/hide classified documents yet Trump did (as he admitted in his most recent interview).
Here are the charges she could have been indicted for. Read them and explain to me which one she should have been charged with and then explain why you disagree with the Inspector Generals conclusions on it.

We found that the prosecutors considered five federal statutes:
• 18 U.S.C. §§ 793(d) and (e) (willful mishandling of documents or information relating to the national defense);
• 18 U.S.C. § 793(f) (removal, loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction of documents or information relating to the national defense through gross negligence, or failure to report such removal, loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction);
• 18 U.S.C. § 1924 (unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material by government employees); and
• 18 U.S.C. § 2071 (concealment, removal, or mutilation of government records)

As described in Chapter Seven of our report, the prosecutors concluded that the evidence did not support prosecution under any of these statutes for various reasons, including that former Secretary Clinton and her senior aides lacked the intent to communicate classified information on unclassified systems. Critical to their conclusion was that the emails in question lacked proper classification markings, that the senders often refrained from using specific classified facts or terms in emails and worded emails carefully in an attempt to “talk around” classified information, that the emails were sent to other government officials in furtherance of their official duties, and that former Secretary Clinton relied on the judgment of State Department employees to properly handle classified information, among other facts.
https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/4515893/Justice-Dept-IG-report-on-handling-of-Clinton.pdf

4.) And again, you seem to pull out the same debunked claims no matter how many times you are fact checked. Hilary Clinton had no Classified documents on her server. This isn't me saying this, this is Comey and the Inspector General's report saying this.

As summarized below, the Midyear prosecutors concluded that there was not a basis to prosecute former Secretary Clinton, her senior aides, or others under any of these statutes. The prosecutors cited the following factual conclusions from the investigation as critical to its recommendation not to prosecute:

-None of the emails contained clear classification markings as required under Executive Order 13526 and its predecessor. Only three email chains contained any classification markings of any kind. These email chains had one or two paragraphs that were marked “(C)” for “Confidential” but contained none of the other required markings, such as classification headers

-There was no evidence that the senders or former Secretary Clinton believed or were aware at the time that the emails contained classified information. In the absence of clear classification markings, the prosecutors determined that it would be difficult to dispute the sincerity of these witnesses’ stated beliefs that the material was not classified.

There was no evidence that Clinton set up her servers or private email account with the intent of communicating or retaining classified information, or that she had knowledge that classified information would be communicated or retained on it.
You really shouldn't argue with people smarter than you.

While I tend to agree with you.

I don't really think the whole "you don't live in place X so therefore you don't know what you're talking about" is really as good of a point as you may think it is.
Just a friendly critique.

I don't live in the US for example, but the US being such the dominant world power and cultural hegemon it is, makes learning about it's politics and history unavoidable (to me).
And it is I'm my interest to see the US get things right, as they're and have been a model for governance and democracy for a lot of countries in the world including Nigeria. Whatever path it takes good or bad it can drag the rest of the world with it.
This results in a lot of non-residents having an interest it's political direction.

And living in the US aswell doesn't automatically make someone have a good understanding or good takes on its politics, republican pundits are a testiment to this.
I generally agree with what you wrote. The quote was supposed to be an "either/or". "Either you don't live in the US or you have little understanding of the US". And still I was generally being lazy when I wrote that. There are a myriad of qualifications to that statement that I leave out (that I have written in the past).

This board is to discuss US politics and diversity of ideas is generally helpful. My issue as with the people on this forum who make Declarative statements and spend their time talking about US cultural issues they really don't understand as if they have a deeper understanding of the US than they do. Lecturing people who live in the US about those issues. (Like the poster who I replied to who seemingly didn't even know what the Department of Justise was). I have and aversion to lazy/intellectually uncurious people. But then there are those people in this forum who don't live in the US (you included) that generally seem to want to inform themselves, learn about the US and come at this conversation with the understanding that they aren't the authority of all things US.

And so you are right, living in the US doesn't automatically make someone have a good understanding of politics.. etc. There are a lot of stupid Americans. And I'm sure there is a grad student in Nigeria studying the US constitution that has a much better understanding than I on it. But, I do believe until you live somewhere and are fully immersed in that culture, no matter how much you think you may understand that places culture, you really don't and can't.

envy
painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage
Good. Now explain to me the advantage that you have that I want to possess.
Here is the proper usage of the word:
You are envious that I live in the US and so you had to lie about haven been to the US.

Lol he is envious. When I doubt he is in the US and he showed a passport that does not show his name on it. I said okay, he is indeed in the US. But because envy, he refused to believe I am in the US grin

Leave the fool
Sorry, I'm not you. There is no one in this thread who truly doesn't believe I am who I claim to be. Cocky elitist sometimes assh*le that I am.
As to you. It's not envy. There is 0 to be envious of. It's common sense. Your story doesn't add up. Just from your inability to say where you were to the sudden timing of your "trip".
You should probably google the definition of the word envy, you seem not to understand the meaning.

Unlike you I don't pretend. I say things as I see fit... Especially on a faceless forum.

African American kids looting stores and me calling it out is not racist. Fools like you who are victims of themselves will think that way.

You still can not accept the fact that your beloved heaven is within my reach. I can reach anywhere I want and the only thing you can do is envy. Shouting racism does not fix anything. Burying your head in the sand too does not change anything. Tomorrow you will be the first to cry when others stereotype you but you excuse criminals because of skin color.

Since that time I have been to Nigeria and back again.
Shut up. You didn't go anywhere. You're a self hating black person who pretends to be Christian when it suits him who spends his life on a thread of a country he's never been to. Then lies about going there. This hasn't been the first time you've "claimed" you've been in the US.

Me envious of you? You're really talking stupid. You've seen my passport. I'm smarter, better educated, better looking, more traveled, have WAY WAY more money and have a Badder girl than you. And I have a LIFE.

And if you want to see black people breaking laws, maybe look at all the mayhem by the agberos and cultists in Nigeria. Why cross the ocean when there are plenty of black people in Nigeria(you know, where you live) committing crimes.

Shut up and get back to posting your racist BS or pretending to be in the US. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

The Justice Ministry and the Secret Police are independent as long as they're taking down the Emperor's enemies one by one.
Justice Ministry? Secret Police? Gotcha. You don't live in the US, have little understanding of the US and thus have 0 idea what you are talking about. Good to know. Continue on.

Let us mend fences and reset ties and be friends.,
But,. my God, you"re a Dictator.
I may be in the middle of making history as first President to put my predecessor and electoral opponent on trial for frivolities,
But you are the Dictator.
You should probably google the "Special Counsel" statute. Biden has been clear about the independence of the DOJ and Merrick Garland even went further by appointing an independent Special Counsel.

In the US we don't believe anyone is above the law.

And you mean frivolities like stealing and showing people top secret documents that show the military/nuclear capabilities of the US, Iran and other allies? Actions that probably caused those sources to be lost or the source of some of that info to die. Yeah, clearly frivolous.

And lastly think about the argument you are making. Trump said he was running in anticipation that he would be investigated. If someone shot and killed someone tomorrow, do you think filing to be a Presidential candidate should indemnify them from legal action?

Republicans really do the "programming their voters" well. I'm sure some Republican operative came up with the talking point "sweetheart deal" for Hunter Biden. All the Republican politicians used it and propagated it so much so even people in Nigeria are repeating it.

It's odd, Republicans will argue if a Dem investigated a Dem and even argue when a hand picked Trump prosecutor investigates a Dem.

But if anything it seems the Prosecutor more aggressively charged Biden in comparison with anyone else. Basing this opinion by reading and listening to ex-DOJ and FBI investigators.

The Tax Charges- Generally when unpaid taxes and their subsequent penalties are paid, the IRS does not usually criminally charge anyone. Hunter paid his unpaid taxes and penalties. Here they charged him criminally with 2 misdemeanors for ~200,000 in unpaid taxes for 2017 and 2018. For example we have Roger Stone (Trump's dirty trickster), who had around 2 million in unpaid taxes that were about a decade old. In that case the DOJ, didn't charge him criminally, in fact they went the civil route to collect the taxes. Why the difference in the 2 cases?

The Gun Charges- Generally the government doesn't charge people for lying during a gun purchase IF the gun wasn't used in the commission of a Felony esp. if alcohol or drugs were involved. Here they charged him and put him in a pretrial diversion program. Seems more aggressive than normal.

Again, I don't know the full context of his situation, but both charges seem more aggressive than normal. It seems it's the Republicans actually weaponizing government.
