    Correct. I know a couple of people who work for the government, and they talk very freely about their pay grade. It is not exactly the salary, but yes, the range.

    Pretty cool. Unless you're the guilty one - like trump!!!!
    Correct. Trump's impeachment lawyer Dershowitz is even confused by Trump's legal strategy. Is Trump using Alex Jone's legal team? WTF?

    Translation: If I'm guilty, I'm pleading the Fifth just like John Gotti, Donald Trump and other gangsters and crooks.

    Agreed. Good strategy.

    The only reason to take the fifth in a civil suit is if answering the questions will likely reveal a crime. Because it is a civil suit, the NY AG can't prosecute Trump for any statements he makes unless he lies under oath. So the only reason for Trump to not answer the questions is out of fear he will reveal he committed a local or a federal crime since those are the only two entities that could indict him based on his testimony unless he were to commit perjury.
    ...which tells me the State of New York is going to be incentivized to dig deeper into Trump's numerous crimes.

    Some here remember that Trump was strongly advised against running for President precisely for this reason: Giving others a reason to investigate his business activities.

    Would it really surprise anyone here to learn Trump and Epstein were in the sex trafficking business together? Trump laundering money through his casinos for his pedophile friends?

    Oh, yeah. Douche-a-Witz.. they wing nut who said, that "there does not need to be a crime for a president to be impeached", when it was Clinton, but when it was twump it was, "No crime as been committed here, the president should not be impeached".

    Then when asked, "why did you change your position", he said, something like, "I didn't change it I clarified it'.

    The Doosha-a-witz is nothing but a straight Roy Cohn. Oh, he also "kept his underwear on" when getting a massage at Jeff's house from an underage sex slave. Isn't that nice?

    Actually no, that's not what I said. I said an inference can be made IN A CIVIL TRIAL. Not a criminal trial.

    Right, I was so excited, I misspoke. Also, I have a new problem, now. When you told me that pleading the 5th might actually work against twump I got so excited my testicles have retreated up into my body and I have not seen them for awhile.

    I'm just a little concerned I might never see them again. What will my girlfriends have to "cup" now? This is why trump is bad for America!

    Ah,yes, Rudy.. how the mighty have fallen... Rudy thought he was going to be a "player" in a right-wing utopia.

    441. He answered the one about his name. He pleaded guilty the Fifth 440 times to avoid incriminating himself on the other questions.

    Well, I'm sorry to jump ship on you pal, but I trust Natalie Portman and Beyonce! The only thing that bothers me about them as they never call or text me!
