Couldn’t he be pardoned for contempt if he simply elected not to answer any such such questions? You’d have to subpoena him into State court to avoid Trump’s pardon power—and without having examined this issue in any further depth, I dare say there’d be all kinds of jurisdictional issues with that.

The House will be controlled by Democrats by January.

He might still pardon the guy because he is a “good man”.

Just a reminder: if Trump pardons Manfort to keep him from snitching, nothing will happen. Impeachment is a political tool that doesn’t actaully require that any crime, or specific act have been committed. It is, for all practical purposes, a thing the House can initiate whenever it feels like it.

Perry is an ostensible rape survivor who was obligated to appear for a deposition and testify under oath pursuant to a subpoena, but is not a party to the suit, and there’s not cognizable reason that releasing the transcript would serve the interests of justice.

It would certainly give me second thoughts about my partner if they invited Azealia Banks over to my place for a dinner party, let alone for any sort of extended period of time.

I wish I could give you more stars. I lament that I can give you only the one.

I think he’s right—he’s just not being targeted by the government.

“It’s not the same thing to accuse a male person in power versus accusing a woman. It’s just not the same thing, because we’ve got a culture and a very long history in which males were dominant and abusing their power.”

For me this really turns on whether the man is actually wanted for homicide. If there were a warrant out for someone on murder charges... I would certainly call an ambulance or otherwise drive the wife to the hospital, but I still think the suspect needs to be picked up immediately.

Not that Rose is accused of assaulting anyone.

Well given that your stance is ‘unless something is a hand written note hand delivered with express instructions for destruction it is obvious that it would get out to everyone in the world’, which is quite frankly ridiculous at best...

the show plays like a senior thesis for the Aaron Sorkin school of dialogue, where characters give terse, drawn-out monologues in hushed tones, staring their enemy of choice in the eyes while they tell them they’re going to “lock you in a golden cage and fuck you with a silver dildo.

You’re stating that it is likely that an unlisted post which unless you have the direct link do not have any way of finding is likely to cause what it did.

I’m trying not to read TOO much into that, because she’s basically in a social media war against every foaming-at-the-mouth fanboi with a boner for Hardwick and now an axe to grind against Dykstra. It’s gotta be tough to stay quiet under the circumstances. Hell, when I get into it with someone on Reddit, I have a hard…

Her account kinda gels with how he acted on the podcast, and how he treated and wanted to control Jonah and Matt.

which did not include a name for her partner, in order to go after Hardwick, get him fired, or prove he’s a terrible person.

as opposed to white, christian assholes who can’t go a week without spraying machine gun fire into a densely populated mall...or elementary school....oh...wait.

It would have to mean that Hardwick was literally only a complete monster for the two years or so he was with Dykstra, given the fact that the exes who have spoken out in his favor preceded him, and obviously his wife is current.

They investigated, she refused to participate, I think that says a lot honestly.
