I don't think that will be enough to pacify the MAGA loons, Sidney. tanyev Oct 2023 #15

she can believe what she wants...it's her testimony that matters... agingdem Oct 2023 #16

She obviously is getting death threats, gab13by13 Oct 2023 #17

And probably seeing donations to her are falling off. No more million$ for Kracken Krazy n/t Attilatheblond Oct 2023 #60

Her plea agreement requires her to testify. Is she claiming her testimony will be perjured? Jim__ Oct 2023 #18

Kind of a pickle she's putting herself in, isn't it? yardwork Oct 2023 #21

"She" has nothing to do with this. This is just someone else's opinion. Pure clickbait. PSPS Oct 2023 #22

No, the newsletter is basically her operation muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #43

Maybe it's "her operation" but it's not her words. It's an opinion piece written in the third person. PSPS Oct 2023 #55

Which she is repeating. muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #59

Except... no she isn't FBaggins Oct 2023 #63

"This was posted on Saturday but is worth repeating" - yes, she is repeating it muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #65

There is no "rush to make excuses for her." This is an OPINION piece WRITTEN IN THE THIRD PERSON. PSPS Oct 2023 #73

Even your excuses for her fail. Her plea was revealed last Thursday. muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #75

There is little doubt that she will lie about everything. The_Casual_Observer Oct 2023 #106

Oh, please. Dailykos? Really? PSPS Oct 2023 #19

Dailykos is just fine, gab13by13 Oct 2023 #33

Problem is, articles like this are posted by the "community" and not reviewed William Seger Oct 2023 #53

It's not that hard to go there and follow the links, however muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #64

It's not that hard to copy the source link, either William Seger Oct 2023 #71

Well, yes, I posted the cut-off link back in reply #38 muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #118

"businessinsider.com" is a far right wing site gab13by13 Oct 2023 #20

The OP references CBS News brooklynite Oct 2023 #23

Business Insider is most definitely NOT a far right wing site marmar Oct 2023 #24

Agreed but it is an aggravator underpants Oct 2023 #27

It certainly doesn't vet its sources. gab13by13 Oct 2023 #35

I'd say they editorialize underpants Oct 2023 #47

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/business-insider/ RSherman Oct 2023 #31

I guess it depends upon what someone considers left or right. gab13by13 Oct 2023 #37

I used to go to Business Insider almost daily. Stopped when they began requiring KPN Oct 2023 #61

An issue is news wrting vs editorial writing. For example WSJ Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2023 #119

The judge needs to call her in to clarify. mn9driver Oct 2023 #25

A link for the first part of the excerpt (it's cut off in the OP) muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #38

Aren't they always "extorted?" Wounded Bear Oct 2023 #40

If you look at how they define "exorted", then, yes muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #46

Not going into detail but I took a plea once and my lawyer told me that if I sounded like I didn't believe I was guilty Maraya1969 Oct 2023 #42

I did not see hers either but I watched Cheeseburger's and the same judge carefully and repeatedly Wonder Why Oct 2023 #69

Take the plea deal or face a felony conviction and face prison time. Eyeball_Kid Oct 2023 #72

Lock her up, she was not to communicate with Bluethroughu Oct 2023 #77

Well, then just say no to the plea--go to trial and hopefully to jail when you are found GUILTY riversedge Oct 2023 #81

Why did she agree to the deal ? She signed the deal. republianmushroom Oct 2023 #82
