There's a legal principle that holds the exact opposite: "Ignorantia juris non excusat", or, "ignorance of the law does not excuse". I don't know the exact US use, but it's present in all Civil law countries I know of, and in Common law. You cannot claim ignorance after breaking a law to avoid being punished; as a citizen, it is your duty to be aware of, or seek advice regarding, the law.

Because Zamel is is a Israeli who represented a firm that employed several Israeli former intelligence officers and specialized in data collection and social media persuasion and George Nader, is a emissary for Saudi Arabia and UAE, and neither Zamel nor Nader have anything to do with Russia.

Or even better, accuse you of sexual assault, pretend to be a victim, lose, and get dumped like last years leftovers. That’s what the left does. Make accusations and lose, over and over. When do you think people will wake up to the corruption and indoctrination in politics, the msm, and recently school campuses.

[@OfAngelsAndAnarchist]

That’s a pretty good impression of how John Oliver talks

[@Iason29]

This form of judgement in courts goes back a long time, where a person is found guilty of being stupid, or cannot be prosecuted properly because he was too stupid to know what he was doing. That sort of thing you'd watch in some old movie classic so no idea if that could ever be real...but in this case it actually is, but how is this fair? Are we to be lenient on people cause they can't "help being stupid"? Why no just put them in jail, and there they might find plenty of time to figure it out, without pressure.

[@rorriMMirror]

Unfortunately.

[@joeo6378]

It is mind boggling to me that the standard is that someone had to know that there is a law against it AND have to have intent to break that law. I have been told for years that "Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law". For some reason this does not apply to dealing with foreign nations if you are a politician?

[@sailorplanetmars6103]

Strictly speaking, it applies to everyone. To be found guilty of certain crimes, you need to be aware that you are breaching the law (with a few notable exceptions - manslaughter and traffic offences come to mind). For most people, it's difficult to build a serious case that "I wasn't aware it was illegal to shank a bitch" or "I thought we were chill with heroin now", but in more common contexts its basically the foundation of the insanity defence. For more complex crimes, especially ones that don't have direct outcomes like the Trump Tower meeting, the awareness of the law (or mentus rei, in Pompous Legalese) becomes more important.

[@Jack-Lack]

People in the highest rungs of power are apparently held to the lowest standards. Brett Kavanaugh got confirmed to the Supreme Court while there was someone present in the room saying credibly that he raped her. I'm pretty sure if I was interviewing for a janitor job, and there was someone in the room saying I raped them, I wouldn't get the job. Joe Schmoe can't claim ignorance of the law. But the heir to a billions-dollar fortune and top ranking staff member on a presidential campaign somehow can't be expected to know anything.

[@xtensionxward3659]

​@@sailorplanetmars6103 he is a president fr fuck sake he should know the ''Law '' . specially if it is as obvious as this one , and the fact that he should've had asked before because it does sound suspicious to any sane person !

[@Ghivcftyhhvvcfyyh]

Oh so hillary should have gone to prison for storing classified information on a private email? Good to know nice logic liberal

[@rebeccahj]

Certain crimes, including things like tax fraud, require willful, deliberate intent (actually almost all crimes do, but in criminal matters like homicide, an insanity defense is usually in play when discussing not knowing that murder is wrong/illegal). The IRS has said that almost 20% of people violate the tax code in some way when submitting their income taxes, but the tax code is obviously complicated and difficult to decipher so, generally speaking, if it doesn't appear that someone intentionally tried to defraud the IRS, they assume it was just a mistake and don't attempt to prosecute. This applies as well for areas like election fraud, where if you don't know that you broke the law and therefore didn't have willful intent, it isn't considered a criminal offense. In most criminal offenses, the need to prove intent to commit a crime seems almost silly (like in homicide) because an action is so obviously criminal, but unfortunately, it becomes significantly more important when there's an absolutely incompetent administration, legal team, and president involved.

[@biocapsule7311]

So it isn't a lack of intent but a lack of competency.

[@somerandomedgyguy1723]

Very relieving, now they can just roll with that to save their BLANKs

But he has evidence. Exact evidence. In relation to this topic. Muller could have forged the evidence to be skewed to deny trump. Just like the police officer could have done when he pulled you over. But it seems like he wanted to get it right. Which is exactly the type of person we need in our government. One that looks for the hardcore evidence first. “Innocent until proven guilty” in most cases you have to prove without a doubt. And even though there are ideas and specks of him doing something wrong there wasn’t exact evidence.

In many judicial systems, there is what's called a "trial penalty" that means if you go to trial you get a harsher sentence - it's meant to incentivise plea deals because the court system is overworked, which is all kinds of messed up once you think about it a bit.

normal people get charged with obstruction hundreds of times a day across the country, for little sh*t like refusing to give a name or showing id or answering questions. for us normal folk, the definition of obstruction of justice is not cooperating with police by doing what we're told. people get charged and convicted of this even when they have done NOTHING WRONG, committed no crime. resisting arrest is not standing still to be cuffed, or arguing that you did nothing wrong, or running from the cops. so obstruction is not the poor man's resisting arrest. they are both a crime for the masses, and neither ever applies to the rich and connected. just like most laws.

Trump's cabinet taking documents off his desk and the like to prevent him from randomly scuttling our trade agreement with South Korea for no reason, which (on top of fouling our relations with Seoul, one of the most important alliances in the world) would jeopardize our national security given that the agreement is what allows us to use a missile detection system there that would detect a launch from NK in seconds, as opposed to 15 minutes without it. That's why so many people come and go from his cabinet, their job basically becomes a stressful nightmare of continually defying Trump's orders and misleading him so he doesn't do anything catastrophically reckless. That's why it's concerning that he's finally cycled through enough people to find a crew of yes men that are mostly willing to go along with him.

The most damning thing I think the LWT team missed is Mueller's statement at the beginning of the report which stated all but explicitly that they were never going to find the President guilty of crimes, because he would be incapable of being judged in a fair trial while he is the President because of Executive priviledges. Therefore, Mueller's conclusion could never say 'guilty', only either 'not guilty' or 'it's up to Congress and the Attorney General', the latter of which he stated. LegalEagle did a great video on this. I also think it's important to mention that William Barr's definition of obstruction of justice, as he has stated in the past, is extremely narrow and supported by virtually no one in the legal system, mostly because it completely omits criminal intent, which there definitely was here.

[@vigorouslethargy]

I only watched a bit but it seems really biased - for example he quotes something that Trump is saying he thinks he's f*cked but is construing this as if it shows some kind of guilt, whereas probably Trump was just thinking - oh shit, this guy doesn't like me, I'm in trouble now.

[@MrLeolesh]

Yea, cause witchhunts are only dangerous if you have something to hide, right? Do you even understand how the criminal justice system works in US? You hear about innocent people being convicted all the time, despite an extreme amount of precautions we take to ensure that "it's better for a free society to have a guilty person to walk free, than having an innocent one spend even a day in jail". It isn't about what you did. It's about what the jury thinks you did. So, no, being opposed to a baseless unending unrestricted investigation is not the same as obstruction of justice...

[@MrSKINFLICK]

@@MrLeolesh Deutsche Bank USA will reveal its "business" connections with Trump to a US congress investigation committee, allegedly Trump owes DB still 300 million dollar. DB is itself up to the neck involved in law suits because of financial fraud in the USA, they have no other chance than to cooperate. That may break Trump's neck.

Trump's as corrupt as anyone in the GOP or the DNC, he isn't the source of our issues but rather a byproduct of elitism in this Republic's government. Honestly from understanding of the Muller report Trump was proven innocent of collusion. Russian state officials already said either presidential candidate from 2016 and we are screwed, yet APAIC and the Saudi's threw billions of dollars around Trump's campaign. I'm not stupid enough to by some bullshit narrative made by a corporatist meant to red bate Russia so we can have Xion Mobile build massive oil pipelines from Syria all the way to France.

[@adamhauson1211]

@Dobbies Revenge Personally I agree with Bernie on this because firstly we are the world's largest prision system made to get rich fat fucks richer. Secondly prisoners need a say in policy that will effect them as human beings the point of prison should be to reform somebody not degrade and metaphorically rape them. I might also point out forensics science's are nowhere near as good as the government agencies clam they are and the NSA/FBI/CIA all have access to the Viza courts, which these agency's can then use too fabricate evidence on political oppents. This is also before I even mentioned this prision system is the new Jim Crow in action, in other words it means it is used to take away minioritys right's to vote. Wake up and smell the coffee, CNN, MNSBC, FOX, THE WASHINGTON POST, THE NEW YORK TIME'S, THE DAILY SHOW, JHON OLIVER and so many more are rank propagandists because they are solely doing the bidding of a government conspiracy theory peddled by Hillary Clinton as her last real political move. Nor can they admit they were wrong because then they would have to apologize and give up the hate storm they are brewing which is going to lead us into a second civil war.

[@adamhauson1211]

@Dobbies Revenge The DNC and the Republicians vote hand in hand, look at who's voted for what over the span of the last 4 decade's. It started as a cancer but it quickly grew and ate away at our rights as human beings, so awnser me when I ask you this What made you so blinded by your own hate and fear that you can't even understand the grim logic behind the government. It's no democracy it's a plutocracy, a oligarchy and a destructive system of oppression, so keep covering your eye's in fear like a child. I will still be here in the shadows where the truth yet still remains, as a shining beacon of wisdom to any who would dare listen.
