I would have to look it up but I have trades bubbling and percolating right now, but I believe there is such a law. I think it was a Henry Hyde amendment, not to be confused with the abortion Hyde Amendment.
Haha, if Trump goes into barratry territory his history of hundreds/thousand of frivolous cases will come back to haunt him. If he can't take the heat he should not be President. He is blameless right? $100 million spent chasing Hillary, fuck off about wasting taxpayer money.
Discovery is supposed to eliminate the element of surprise in court. Surprises in court are unfair, like releasing dirt before an election, without enough time for the other candidate to respond. Discovery assures the case is fully litigated, and also increases chances of an out-of-court settlement, saving the costs of court. Without it, court is open to all sorts of shenanegans. Avoiding discovery indicates shenanegans are already afoot, indicating malicious prosecution. For this reason, the cost of prosecution should be taken off the backs of taxpayers and turned over to any group of private takers and foreign agents.
Ask Mexico, they would actually pay for it! Getting them to pay for something would be a win! Mueller with a few billion happily donated to the prosecution fund
The great irony of the Trump era is seeing liberals passionately defending overreaching and rights violations by the FBI and CIA. They used to understand the threat to a free society posed by unaccountable prosecutors and investigators. As with many other issues, their principles seem to depend on the party affiliation of those involved. Another irony is to see them reflexively go for McCarthyism tactics when challenged, eg anyone who opposes them is a Russian agent or dupe.
At least then the prosecution would be more transparent, and not the personal vendetta of Rosenstoned (deputy of Jeff "weed" Sessions), who is seeking revenge for having felt used to fire Comey.
Now it is Rosenstoned's vendetta.. Oh come on, really man to man here.. you are a fart away from crossing the line to flat-Eartherism. Put down the Sirus radio or whatever and meet the real world.
