Is Mark Kasowitz threat to file a formal complaint with the DOJ's Inspector-General a form of witness intimidation? I would think so because Comey is no longer a government employee, and the very act of the president's private lawyer engaging in such an act can be construed as the president directly intimidating a witness during an active investigation. |
Mendy is really tearing up the Swede RB.. Looks like Man City have got themselves an excellent attacking full back. |
Thecassanova:Matic can barely run these days, while Luiz has got some pace. Matic's lethargy won't cut it against the top teams at the UCL. So, I think Conte will try out Luiz as a DMF next season. |
Lukaku and Pedro/Batahuayi can be accommodated in a 3-2-3-2 formation. Both Kante and Luiz could form a midfield pivot, with Fab, Hazard, and Moses supporting the two strikers |
Nina4u:Yeah The judge would definitely not sentence him to consecutive 5-year prison terms on each of the 9 counts (i.e. 45 years). Of course, he will be entitled to appeal any unfavorable judgment; but if he eventually does time in prison, he will subsequently be deported and barred from entering the US for life except he obtains a special waiver from the DHS. |
MurderForFree:Lol Every non-dark skinned person is "White" to Nigerians. I usually try to avoid any shenanigans with some of these Mexicans before they call their drug cartel brothers for my head ![]() |
Now regretting the sale of Solanke to Liverpool. The dude could end up as the highest goal scorer at the on-going U-20 World cup if he scores 2 against Venezuela in Sunday's final. |
It's d-day again. But the legs on Malika Henderson though
|
KevinDein:Yeah It's England's first FIFA final in 51 years. |
Solanke makes it 3-1 |
Timbuktuo:You are crazy ![]() |
bigkesh:Lukaku and Batshuayi could lead the line next season, with Father Abraham on the bench. A 3-4-1-2 formation would suit the team next term too -------------------Courtois------------------ ----------Azpi---------Cahill------------Alonso ---Moses-----Kante------Fab-------Alex Sandro -------------------Hazard------------------- ------------Lukaku-----Batahuayi------------ If CFC can't get Sandro, the team can experiment with David Luiz in the midfield, in a 3-2-3-2 formation: --------Azpi---------Cahill---------Alonso----- --------------Kante-----David Luiz---------- --------Moses-------Fabregas--------Hazard---- ---------------Batshuayi----Lukaku--------- |
Fun fact: 70% of the world's lawyers live in the US |
Sector by sector, the American legal system has devolved to serve its major objective: the feeding of the hoards of greedy American lawyers. It is hard to find a single law, judicial convention, or legislative action which is not "alligned" to serve the greed objectives of the American legal profession. Yes there are a few noble lawyers who are doing good -- and generally they are starving. Then there are the necessary legal mechanics who do important, technical legal work which enables good things -- those are no more than 25,000 of the 1.1 million lawyer hoard in America. |
- Over 70% of the worlds lawyers live in the U.S. - The U.S. has over 1.1 million lawyers !That's one lawyer for every 300 Americans. - Washington D.C. boasts 1 lawyer for every 22 people! - Number of Law Students Enrolled :125,000 - Number of New Lawyers every year in America: 400,000 - 60% of lawyers in Uruguay are women, the highest proportion of female lawyers anywhere in the world. - With average annual earnings of over $216,000, attorneys in the US are the highest paid in the world; followed by Switzerland at $198,997 Hong Kong at $186,032 (with 3 years experience) South Africa at $182,431 (1-3 years experience) Japan at $144,298 The U.K. rounds out the top 10 at 74,111 GBP (4 years experience) However, there is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools accredited by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that many cannot afford to go into government or non-profit work, and that they have to work fearsomely hard. Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers—and these, at some point in a life, include most people. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree, as they can in common-law countries such as Britain. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school (see article); the third year of law school is too often filled with elective courses like “Nietzsche and the Law” (on offer at New York University) that make little sense for working attorneys. If the bar exam is truly a stern enough test for a would-be lawyer, those who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third. Those who stay should use the time to acquire practical expertise or develop a speciality. The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. At the top, lawyers’ fees have risen beyond $1,000 per hour. At the low end, companies such as LegalZoom, an automated online service providing wills, leases and simple contracts, is forced to limit its offering to customers lest it be prosecuted for practising law without a licence. There is pressure for change from within the profession—one law firm, Jacoby & Meyers, is suing three states for the right to take in outside investments (see article)—but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically. Far from undermining clients’ interests, allowing non-lawyers to own equity in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers by encouraging law firms, many of which are still knee-deep in paper, to use technology and to employ professional managers—the kind of people who tend to expect stock options as part of their package—to focus on improving firms’ efficiency. Anyone who thinks American lawyers do not already face pressure to make money could use the services of a different kind of professional. Other countries have started liberalising their legal professions. Australia has the world’s first publicly listed law firm, in which anybody can buy shares. Britain has blessed “alternative business structures”: lawyers can now link up with other professionals, be bought by private-equity firms and even go public. America should follow. http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21571141-cheaper-legal-education-and-more-liberal-rules-would-benefit-americas-lawyersand-their http://homepages.rpi.edu/~verwyc/Chap4law.htm http://legalpro.jotwell.com/just-the-beginning-studying-the-global-demography-of-lawyers/?utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Jotwell+(Jotwell)&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=feedburner |

If he isn't a Legal Permanent Resident, and he is convicted on state and/or federal theft charges, Dammy could be administratively deported and permanently barred from entering the United States, except if he obtains a special waiver from the Department of Homeland Security. |
Ibime:The law can really be an ass at times. The Geneva convention is the primary reason why Western governments are limited by what they can do to suspected terrorists. It extends the same protections afforded to soldiers who are prisoners of war to Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and ISIS terrorists. Heck, even Amnesty International has been on the neck of the Nigerian government with regard to how Boko Haram suspects are treated while in detention. Moreover, a major reason why George W. Bush left office with a 25% approval rating was his administration's endorsement of "enhanced interrogation techniques" a.k.a torture upon Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other Guantanamo detainees. In fact, some of those detainees had been in detention for years without a formal charge proffered against them. Of course, evidence extracted via water-boarding is inadmissible in any US federal court; so the next best option for a US president is to release those detainees who do not pose an immediate national security threat to the country. I'm with John Yoo, the former Office of Legal Council head who authored the DOJ memos that basically authorized the US military to waterboard suspected terrorists, that the Geneva convention has to be modified in a way that removes some due process protections for suspected terrorists. The accused jihadi should still have access to a lawyer, but the government shouldn't have to turn in exculpatory evidence to the defense team. In the US, the First amendment may have to be amended itself, or another amendment could be ratified which doesn't offer protection to any individual who shows solidarity with a an enemy force. |
Sarah Huckabee Sanders - the White House Deputy Press Secretary - has confirmed that President Trump will not invoke executive privilege in order to stop Comey from testifying on Thursday. |
Gravas:Its section 131(b). I made a mistake with regard to the minimum age. Actually, it says a person must have attained the age of 40 in order to run for the office. |
Asisat Oshoala Age:22 Salary: N7 million/month |
As laudable as the OP's goal is, having a president who is younger than 45 will require a constitutional amendment. |
cococandy:EOD. In fact, I'll call Lex Steele to Bleep his ass |
Oga Nihilist, it's good that you are safe. Some brainwashed idiots cannot conquer Great Britain. Never |
Florida's grand theft law prescribes a maximum 5 year sentence for the offense. As he has been charged with 9 counts of the crime, the judge may sentence him to consecutive term of 45 years imprisonment, or a concurrent 5-year jail term. |
pweetiedee:When you consider the setting in which she took the pictures, I don't see why she should be totally covered up |
