But it's totally a fake diary though. Don't believe those right wing extremist conspiracy theorists. The diary that Ashley Biden definitely did not abandon, and was definitely not real should be forgotten. We're just punishing the defendant for spreading misinformation.
I'm completely failing to see a crime here other than "actions that damage the image of the Democratic Globohomo Party".
She was convicted of "conspiracy". Conspiracy to what? Where I live, laws are based entirely on the value of the item- your neighbor cut down 100-year-old tree that was the centerpiece of your landscaping? You're only going to recover the value of the lumber in court, they give zero fucks about the impossibility of replacing it or the intangible value of the thing. So what is the going market value for a diary that someone has already filled out?
Supposedly she stole the diary and some other possessions that she planned to sell but yeah it's obvious this only happened because of who was involved.
Is Ashley's diary worth more than $950 for the cops to finally get off their asses?
From the article:
This sounds like she rented a place, forgot her diary, a later renter found it.
The ho left it behind. It's pretty much unfathomable that a Manhattan district attorney is prosecuting this crime.
"crime" happened in florida, better prosecute it in manhattan.
what a joke.
The whole 'trafficking stolen property over state lines' thing implies the selling of it was criminal. If the person didn't think they stole it, I don't think it was criminal. Though IANAL.
They are saying Ashley Biden left the diary with the woman believing it was a safe space to store it. So she stole it. I imagine if your diary got stolen it doesn't produce a charge. This is the political persecution they keep telling us Trump is going to do
I'm not sure whether people who can't see political prosecution at this point are in denial or deluded. Or precisely what is their problem. I know some of them IRL, and I still can't figure it out. The only real pattern I see is that these people all hate Trump for some other reason. eg: The person is a pussy and is put off by Trump's brashness. The person is a <insert minority/"minority" here> and Trump is anti-<'>.
So they get TDS and then just want the worst for anyone that is perceived as pro-Trump.
Interesting. Where I live it’s usually based around replacement value. 100-year-old tree? Replacement value (so $$$). In some places there are penalty multipliers for a malicious action, so think of replacement cost of a 100 foot oak. Don’t cut down your neighbor’s trees!
I've heard of cases where the replacement needed to be just that, a replacement. So if you cut down a 100 foot oak, start looking for a 100 foot oak.
There's a reason "Tree law! Tree law!" is a meme in some legal circles, because accurately replacing a tree is nearly impossible, leading to ridiculous fines in some cases.
This is off topic, but can they not determine how much less the property would sell for without the tree and use that to calculate damages? I swear I've heard of cases where they did exactly that.
The other part is definitely fair. It also raises a few questions. How can there be any "conspiracy" about selling an old diary? Are they not admitting that the content of the diary is true with this move?
Identifies as a news organization? Lol
Now that O'Keefe is no longer in charge, everything they say should be taken with a grain of salt.
True enough
Once you start noticing this sort of thing, you can't stop. Media is absolutely shot through with these little turns of phrase that promote legitimacy of organizations and ideas they like and cast subtle snubs on those they don't.
It's never worked on me, but I imagine it's terribly effective on normie cattle.
Respect their organizatonal identity, bigot!
Sooooo. The diary was real enough to get her sentenced then.
I guess people plea because they think they'll get a lesser sentence, but it pisses me off. The facts get entirely buried when they plea. The government doesn't have to prove shit.
Pleaded guilty with a max sentence of three months house arrest. She is going to be a sworn witness when go after James O’Keefe.
The fact that there are still smug retards on reddit who say it's all a right-wing hoax and the feds totally needed to SWAT raid James O'Keefe for reasons pisses me off to no end.
