You don't even need to be a legal expert here, all you need is the ability to read and understand what the courts have already decided.

On one hand you're complaining about legal costs incurred by the government, and then on the other suggesting they didn't go to court. Which is it? In fact DOJ lawyers were handling the case up to when it was settled. When you get sued you kinda have to go to court.

There's no way that was going to happen regardless of when the check was written.

So you're suggesting they should have just written a check for 20 million immediately when the suit was filed.

Or is it that those lawyers concluded their case was doomed to fail.

If you think Trump's legal troubles are behind him, wait to see what happens if the GOP loses control of congress at the mid terms.

Of course he does. It's just when he does so in such childishly idiotic ways he has to expect some blowback

It's not just "their business" when they break international law, and it involves a Canadian citizen. Maybe you should stick with your religious blather and leave law alone.

Well if that's the case why was Khadr jailed. You contradict yourself over ad over.

Yet another who knows zilch about how the laws and the courts work.

Nope, not even close pal. Because, under HRC laws still apply. Under the US military "court" that convicted this guy, they do not. Ever heard of habeas corpus?

Convicted by who? A phony military commission similar to a Sharia court.

Obviously not with you.

I guess it is a bit confusing if you have no legal background.

Yes I do. Try once in a while to provide one.

Pause...why? I enjoy intelligent comment.

MH actually knows of what he speaks, so I would agree. Thank you.

True enough. You are free to have any idiot you want running your country.

Luckily the ones that were broken here have been, and will in all likelihood remain, longstanding. And of course you are free to disagree with them all you want.

Let's just take stock, " I like Putin, I don't like Putin, I like China, I don't like China, I like Fat Kim, I don't like Fat Kim, Russia didn't hack the election, Russia did hack the election, and I can sexually assault women because (I think) I'm a star. I could go on of course but I think there is enough there to apply article 4 of the 25th, which, for your edification, does not require impeachment. Trouble is I wonder if Pence would be any better.

And of course the people who understand and are tasked to uphold the law, namely the courts, totally disagree with you.

The "terrorist" was illegally tortured and then jailed in Gitmo for ten years. Our legal system was able to correct that, although it them awhile.

Trumps intelligence people have prepared his briefing points for the upcoming G-20 meeting in 140 character (tweet size) points hoping he can focus. https://www.vox.com/world/2017/7/5/15924522/trump-twitter-putin-russia-hacking-meeting-comey-g20-briefings

And once again you presume to speak for "the great majority".
