Yp, your life might get ruined but for the judge it's just another day at the job. Need to clear the docket, meet Jeff for lunch and then plan his golfing weekend.
Oh, he owes $127 and he's not here? Arrest warrant!

In a sense they have a "permanent ruler," the Politburo. But in reality the leader is 99%, unless he makes sudden /unpopular moves.
But then, he's 64, he has another 5 legit years, so he'll be 69 when his 2 terms end. He might not have that much time. But who knows...

Let's just sit back and think... $4,000,000,000 in 4 years. or $50,000 for 80,000 families.
On the other hand, how come they are making 65% net margins? Where's the competition?

Not a lawyer, but IMO someone has to go to jail. All this money spent, the media and Mueller isn't going to end his career shooting blanks.
You can plead however you want to, but if the evidence is crystal clear, you're toast. Even if Trump pardons him, NY would step in http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/333370-ny-ag-investi... , apparently a lot of the laundering took place in NY (get paid in foreign bank from foreign sources; don't declare to IRS+State; pay suppliers and mortgages from that account directly, without declaring it. Millions and millions of it, not chump change)
Decisions, decisions. Give up Trump (if he is hiding something) and kinda go to witness protection because they'll get sued for decades or life in jail.

The little town banks maybe. Frankly, the national one I think try to get away with as much as they can. And their bonus system is probably to blame: "by the time this is discovered, I'll be gone with my bonus."

I would've liked it more if the refund was accompanied by a fine of 3X the amount.
Do they ever mistake to give people free money (at such scale?) I bet the stealing happens a lot more often.

FBI has virtually unlimited resources and they really want this guy. So, he only made it easier, no doubt they would have caught that even without the paper trail. FBI had access to his corp returns and to his loan application. Everything he has done is under the microscope and unless he can hand Trump on a silver plate, he's toast. He's almost 70 years old and you're talking about 20 years sentences.
When you deal with Russians crooks and people in those circles, you tend to lower your guard. You think you will not get caught "because in Ukraine they had money in suitcases," or through a gazillion shell companies. The funny thing is that he might have just gotten away, if he wasn't involved in the Trump campaign. Call it greed or money mismanagement, but knowing when to quit may mean life or death (kinda)

I am sure Dept X has plans ready, just waiting for the opportune moment to implement it in USA. To protect the children or something...

Mobile ANPR is becoming a significant component of municipal predictive policing strategies and intelligence gathering, as well as for recovery of stolen vehicles, identification of wanted felons, and revenue collection from individuals who are delinquent on city or state taxes or fines, or monitoring for "Amber Alerts". With the widespread implementation of this technology, many U.S. states now issue misdemeanor citations of up to $500 when a license plate is identified as expired or on the incorrect vehicle. Successfully recognized plates may be matched against databases including "wanted person", "protection order", missing person, gang member, known and suspected terrorist, supervised release, immigration violator, and National Sex Offender lists. In addition to the real-time processing of license plate numbers, ANPR systems in the US collect (and can indefinitely store) data from each license plate capture. Images, dates, times and GPS coordinates can be stockpiled and can help place a suspect at a scene, aid in witness identification, pattern recognition or the tracking of individuals.

North Korea is even safer, I'm willing to bet. Wanna live there?

To make kids drink something...would juice /soda and some type of salty chips or crackers work? They get some sugar and water from the drink and some salt from the crackers, potato chips.
Simply because they are probably more likely to drink and eat that :)

They are also dozens of other Actons and companies that can write a $50 mil check if needed. NSA might be in trouble

This is absolutely insane, especially in USA. Courts here are supposed to be impartial and just. If you increase your chances by x in a certain court--and you can file there--what justice is it? Shocked that this travesty lasted this long.
When you issue loans at xxx% interest, non payment for a lot of borrowers is baked in. Plus, collection should not free (taxpayers money)
