No, the Trump Tower meeting was not 'totally legal' Source: LA Times URL Source: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-e ... conspiracy-20180806-story.html Published: Aug 7, 2018 Author: HARRY LITMAN AND DAVID LIEBERMAN Post Date: 2018-08-07 15:03:52 by Jameson Keywords: conspiracy to, defraud the, United States Views: 3815 Comments: 26 Exposing a longstanding lie blunt even by his standards, President Trump on Sunday confessed by tweet that the purpose of the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting between his campaign and a Kremlin-linked lawyer was “to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics.” It was left to his lawyer Jay Sekulow to try to clean up the mess. Addressing whether the meeting constituted a criminal violation, Sekulow told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week” that “you have to look at what laws, rules, regulations, statutes are purportedly violated here.” So let’s do that. Meeting with a foreign power to get assistance with a presidential campaign is not totally legal; special counsel Robert S. Mueller III almost certainly could indict Donald Trump Jr. today for what is publicly known about the meeting; and the president should be deeply concerned about his own liability. Mueller’s February indictment of the Internet Research Agency, and associated Russian entities and individuals, charged a conspiracy to influence the election to damage Hillary Clinton, Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and support Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump — let’s call it an electioneering conspiracy. The indictment charged violations of 18 U.S. Code § 371 — conspiracy to commit an offense against, or to defraud United States. The Trump Tower meeting clearly fits established definitions of “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” Click for Full Text!

To: Jameson, A K A Stone, Liberator, misterwhite, Justified (#0) The Trump Tower meeting clearly fits established definitions of “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” Really? https://law.justia.com/codes/us/2016/title-18/part-i/chapter-47/sec.-1031/ 18 U.S.C. § 1031 - Major fraud against the United States § 1031. Major fraud against the United States (a) Whoever knowingly executes, or attempts to execute, any scheme or artifice with the intent— (1) to defraud the United States; or (2) to obtain money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, in any grant, contract, subcontract, subsidy, loan, guarantee, insurance, or other form of Federal assistance, including through the Troubled Asset Relief Program, an economic stimulus, recovery or rescue plan provided by the Government, or the Government's purchase of any troubled asset as defined in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, or in any procurement of property or services as a prime contractor with the United States or as a subcontractor or supplier on a contract in which there is a prime contract with the United States, if the value of such grant, contract, subcontract, subsidy, loan, guarantee, insurance, or other form of Federal assistance, or any constituent part thereof, is $1,000,000 or more shall, subject to the applicability of subsection (c) of this section, be fined not more than $1,000,000, or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both. (b) The fine imposed for an offense under this section may exceed the maximum otherwise provided by law, if such fine does not exceed $5,000,000 and— (1) the gross loss to the Government or the gross gain to a defendant is $500,000 or greater; or (2) the offense involves a conscious or reckless risk of serious personal injury. (c) The maximum fine imposed upon a defendant for a prosecution including a prosecution with multiple counts under this section shall not exceed $10,000,000. (d) Nothing in this section shall preclude a court from imposing any other sentences available under this title, including without limitation a fine up to twice the amount of the gross loss or gross gain involved in the offense pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3571(d). (e) In determining the amount of the fine, the court shall consider the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. sections 3553 and 3572, and the factors set forth in the guidelines and policy statements of the United States Sentencing Commission, including— (1) the need to reflect the seriousness of the offense, including the harm or loss to the victim and the gain to the defendant; (2) whether the defendant previously has been fined for a similar offense; and (3) any other pertinent equitable considerations. (f) A prosecution of an offense under this section may be commenced any time not later than 7 years after the offense is committed, plus any additional time otherwise allowed by law. (g)(1) In special circumstances and in his or her sole discretion, the Attorney General is authorized to make payments from funds appropriated to the Department of Justice to persons who furnish information relating to a possible prosecution under this section. The amount of such payment shall not exceed $250,000. Upon application by the Attorney General, the court may order that the Department shall be reimbursed for a payment from a criminal fine imposed under this section. (2) An individual is not eligible for such a payment if— (A) that individual is an officer or employee of a Government agency who furnishes information or renders service in the performance of official duties; (B) that individual failed to furnish the information to the individual's employer prior to furnishing it to law enforcement authorities, unless the court determines the individual has justifiable reasons for that failure; (C) the furnished information is based upon public disclosure of allegations or transactions in a criminal, civil, or administrative hearing, in a congressional, administrative, or GAO report, hearing, audit or investigation, or from the news media unless the person is the original source of the information. For the purposes of this subsection, "original source" means an individual who has direct and independent knowledge of the information on which the allegations are based and has voluntarily provided the information to the Government; or (D) that individual participated in the violation of this section with respect to which such payment would be made. (3) The failure of the Attorney General to authorize a payment shall not be subject to judicial review. (h) Any individual who— (1) is discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed, or in any other manner discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment by an employer because of lawful acts done by the employee on behalf of the employee or others in furtherance of a prosecution under this section (including investigation for, initiation of, testimony for, or assistance in such prosecution), and (2) was not a participant in the unlawful activity that is the subject of said prosecution, may, in a civil action, obtain all relief necessary to make such individual whole. Such relief shall include reinstatement with the same seniority status such individual would have had but for the discrimination, 2 times the amount of back pay, interest on the back pay, and compensation for any special damages sustained as a result of the discrimination, including litigation costs and reasonable attorney's fees. nolu chan  posted on  2018-08-07   20:55:02 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #16. To: nolu chan, Jameson, A K A Stone, Liberator, Justified (#15) Yeah … well … sure. If you're going to take the word "defraud" literally. But this is Trump. We can define "defraud" anyway we want to. Like, "Digging up dirt on Hillary defrauded the voters of a clean election which defrauds the United States". And that's illegal and an impeachable offense possibly involving a firing squad. On the other hand, Hillary paying the Russians for fictional dirt on Trump … that's just part of politics. misterwhite  posted on  2018-08-07   21:09:41 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 16.         There are no replies to Comment # 16.
