Re: Harvey Weinstein’s New York Rape Conviction Overturned on Appeal
Overturned because prosecution used too many witnesses... So more a technicality than any innocence. I'm actually shocked you can have to many witnesses to a criminal case and it be a problem, technical or not. Only in lawyer land does this pose an issue. I think it was because some of the witnesse...

Re: U.S. politics thread and Joe Biden-the Ronan O'Gara of U.S. Presidents
He wouldn't need to pardon himself as he would be immune from prosecution. So nothing to pardon.
He can then drive a tank over to the local GOP convention and start gunning them all down. "Nothing to see here".

Which is more than be claimed for most of the investigations that get allowed into Israeli actions. If an investigation happens at all.
You never seem to have any issue with the IDF almost always finding that they were not at fault.
