What does that have to do with this particular indictment and the people participating here?

About as much a Gutamalan Necklace does ..... IMO YMMV

Iran sentences accused CIA spy to death and two others to prison

Iran ordered one person to die and two others to spend time in prison after accusing the trio of working for the Central Intelligence Agency to reveal state secrets.

The Supreme Court of Iran confirmed the death sentence of Amir Rahimpour on Tuesday after the state alleged that Rahimpour was spying on behalf of the United States. Iran accused Rahimpour of attempting to pass information about the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. Gholamhossein Esmaili, a spokesman for the Iranian judiciary, noted that the death sentence would be carried out soon.

Two additional individuals were sentenced to 15 years in prison each, 10 years for spying and five years for acting against Iranian national security.

What does absence of a quorum mean?

A "quorum" is the minimum number of members of a voting body that will be allowed to bind that body through a vote. It takes into account that not every vote of an organization will have 100% participation, and that business must still nevertheless be allowed to be conducted.

I like them for big bodies (e.g. companies with hundreds of shareholders) but not small bodies (e.g. a school board with ten members).

Quorums are often 50 or 66 percent of eligible voting members, but for huge corporations with millions of shareholders, a lot less. So let's say 66 percent of the Senators must be available for any vote to make a quorum; and then a majority vote of the quorum present - of those 66 (34) - can bind the Senate.

In this example, 34 Senators can bind the 100 person Senate. See why I don't like it? Although it does encourage attendance.

But in a multi-million shareholder corporation, it would be impossible to get even 50% of the shareholders to vote on matters such as electing Directors; so the quorums are often just 5 or 10 percent, thereby allowing shareholders with huge blocks of shares to elect themselves as directors, or pass whatever action the body is taking.

Thanks KnightErrant! That's eased my concern.

What time? The Rush news was around 3pm I think.

Think it was after that 4 or 5
plus Rush new is bad to only to him and family
not the senate

Lisa Murkowski said she's not going to vote to convict Trump. Basically, she said that she doesn't approve of Trump's actions & behavior (meaning his Twitter trolling), but that the House should have censured him, and jumping strait to the option of last resort (impeachment) was uncalled for.

Maybe the Dems cut off the speeches once it became obvious that none of the swing votes are going to be on their side.
Forget about the 2/3 requirment; without Murkowski, it's almost cetain the Dems will fail to get even 51 votes.

Edit: Also, the red-state Democrats (Manchin, Sinema, Jones) have refused to say how they'll vote. If they're going to vote against removal, then impeachment will suffer the hardest-possible fail: a bipartisan acquittal.

I still think the best vote getting combo for the Dems is a Sanders-Gabbard ticket.

DNC is fine tuning its election fraud skills with the Iowa caucus.

I’m thinking the “hot shot” they gave Bernie a few months back wasn’t strong enough. Next one will be enough to drop a rhino.

The only thing that makes sense to me is, Bernie won the caucus (as the polls indicated), and the DNC is trying to figure out some way overthrow this.

At this point, I'm honestly wondering if they're going to try to off him somehow.

Clip Of Kerry The Quote:

I will tell you, because as Secretary of State, I was deeply involved in this. ALL of us in the administration were trying to get rid of that prosecutor. From Obama, to the Secretary of State, to the Vice President; ALL of us were working on that… the Ambassador….

This was not about Hunter at all, hell Hunter could have had all the Chelsea Clinton jobs before her and no one would have cared.



VS's complaint

Complaint Filed

Quick thought, as I'm running around town.

I just heard on "Rush" that the caucus results will be released at 5:00pm EST.

I think the strategy is to use the results to overshadow Trump's SOTU address because they know there is no other way they can rain on his parade.

Let's face it. Trump rocks and they hate him for it.

nvm

Murkowski mentioned the serpent.

Another Senator quoted Harry Potter.

Curious language indeed.

Maybe they found out that Podesta's indictment has been unsealed?

DOJ unsealed indictments on 8 people accused of illegally funneling money to the Democrats.

It is huge.

www.justice.gov...

It just occurred to me: they're all going to have to return all of that money as part of their "we had no idea" shtick.

Also meant to add that what has happened with the Dem caucus should negate it.

There's obviously something nefarious going on.

It couldn't be any clearer.

After Epic 'Nightmare' in Iowa, Democratic App Built by Secretive Firm Shadow Inc. Comes Under Scrutiny

Amid all the finger-pointing and anger that followed the nightmarish Iowa Democratic presidential caucuses Monday night, many journalists and progressive observers honed in on the smartphone app the state Democratic Party used—with disastrous consequences—to record and report the results of the highly anticipated contest.

The app, according to several news reports, was developed by the secretive for-profit tech firm Shadow Inc., which has ties to and receives funding from ACRONYM, a Democratic digital non-profit organization. Shadow's CEO is Gerard Niemira, who worked on Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

We can confirm that Elizabeth Warren may have won 1/1024 of the Iowa caucus but this result needs to be confirmed by a DNA test.
The rigging of the Iowa caucuses is so unprofessional and poorly done that Democrats are going to have to employ Imran Awan again to show them how to do it properly. 😜😂😂

Now they're only going to release 50% of the Dem caucus results at 1700 EST.

WTF is going on down there . . .

Wonder if Bern won. Dems now have to choose between obvious manipulation of the results or going full commissar. ☭
