Could be wrong, but I don't think he's leaving again. He likes a good story and likes being in one. If anything, he'll retire a couple years early to focus on media.

Women can be just as hippenwiddet as anyone else!

How do we know she's not playing a man who became a very convincing woman?

In middle school I told someone I liked Rush, and he said "you mean that Paula Abdul song?"

We also have this law where I live. I didn't bring it up earlier because I haven't personally seen anyone convicted of it.

It's not the swearing, Trump doesn't swear much at all. But he questions the character and credentials of those who disagree with him, and he behaves without dignity. He believes the righteousness of his points overcomes any need for decorum.

You watch a vagrant get murdered in your living room. The weapon is a lamp from your coffee table, which the killer puts right back where he found it. You decide that hiding the lamp might raise questions, so you leave it there. Later, it is discovered that you've knowingly had a murder weapon on your coffee table

I'm not sure about that… the character and fitness exam is notoriously rigorous here, and you talk like Donald Trump.

Doesn't matter who you are, you can't legally conceal information about someone else's criminal acts. There are exceptions to that for lawyers, and exceptions for reporters, but those exceptions have exceptions. You seem to disagree with that first sentence altogether, so I guess I can't expect you to use it in your

None. But I also haven't had any clients tell me they're going home to rape somebody that night. I can't let them do that. Are you not aware of the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege?

If a client is about to rape or murder someone… you believe you should help them get away with it?

I'm fond of Batman too, if that helps. And I'm a public defender, if that helps.

I general I wouldn't recommend announcing "There's a rapist running around. No I will not say who." That might lead to an investigation, which might lead to questioning. I mean, if you were personally in charge of stopping rapists where this happened, how could you ignore what she's saying? And what she's not?

I think McGowan is brave and heroic, since withholding the name of a criminal, one whose existence she just announced, might lead to questions from authorities. She's saying fuck it, this needs to end. And I agree. It's a step in the right direction, it sets an example, maybe it's a trend.

The firth amendment covers more than court testimony. It also protects you from having to make statements to the police— but only statements that would be admissions to your own crimes. They're still allowed to ask you about other people, and you still have a duty to comply with all lawful orders of police. And

There are no sarb-ox provisions about this because there don't need to be— it's already illegal to knowingly withhold information about a crime, unless you're the accused. Forgetting is forgetting, which is different, although if they can prove you're not really forgetting, then they probably have their intent

I'm not though, that's the thing. Failing to disclose information about a crime could also constitute obstruction of justice. Basically it isn't legal to lie, certainly not to the police about crime, and lies of omission do count as lies. Again, the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination does not apply to

Wow, your viciousness just keeps on rolling, doesn't it? You've left your point behind and there's nothing left but personal attacks. But that doesn't do any good for anyone. It only brings darkness into the world.

This is so basic that cases involving it aren't likely to be taken up on appeal. All you have to do is read the statute, or the common law, without adding imaginary elements. If you know about a serial killer, you aren't allowed to keep it secret. Simple as that. Keeping a secret is an action. Or think of it this
