Why do you dragabuffons keep repeating the grand mal lie
that " there's No Evidence ".Where did you learn't dat
dopey excuse.Even Grammar School kiddies are laughin
off that dopiness.Grow the hell up already.
I learned the meaning of the words "no evidence" working for more than 30 years as a law clerk, and I have a clear understanding of what consistutes "evidence". For example, SAR reports are not evidence of anything other than money moving being from one country to another.
The Republicans haven't produced a single document that would be considered "evidence" in a court of law. There isn't an invoice, a contract, a memo. All they have are lists of deposits and cheques with no underlying or supporting documents showing why the funds were paid, as well as to whom. These lists of cheques are accompanied by Memos wherein Republicans speculated that the payment "could be" for something illegal, and "possibly shows corruption" and they're going to keep digging.
The problem for Republicans is that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights require "probable cause" in order to compell evidence and they have no "probable cause" to believe there is criminal behaviour in order to a search warrant for company records. The Russian Spy's report that the Bidens took a bribe, was there only chance to prove there was "probable cause" to believe they would find evidence of a crime.
SAR Reports are generated on ALL transfers of funds over a specified amount. The banks make such reports generic and to include all transactions over a certain amount precisely because the banks don't want to be held responsible for deciding whether in fact the transaction is "suspicious". It's a legal can of worms for them.
If a bank allows a criminal's transactions slip by because he's convinced them that he's a good guy, should the law hold the bank liable for failing to report him? Or worse for the bank, if a valued customer has a legitimate cash business that seems suspicious, and is reported, can he sue the bank for slandering his reputation? Better to report EVERYTHING over $10,000 and let the IRS and the DOJ sort it out.
