You still have not even attempted to refute any of the factual info I've presented. I know why.There's a good fellow. Apparently you stutter when you cut and paste.
Yes or no. Mueller stated in his report that he declined to prosecute Donnie J for the crime he committed because of Jr's ignorance of the law he broke?
"The Office considered whether this evidence would establish a conspiracy to violate the foreign contributions ban . . . solicitation of an illegal foreign-source contribution; or the acceptance or receipt of “an express or implied promise to make a [foreign-source] contribution” . . . There are reasonable arguments that the offered information would constitute a “thing of value” within the meaning of these provisions, but the Office determined that the government would not be likely to obtain and sustain a conviction for two other reasons: first, the Office did not obtain admissible evidence likely to meet the government’s burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that these individuals acted “willfully,” i.e. with general knowledge of the illegality of their conduct....."
Generally speaking, ignorance of the law is not considered a viable offense. But then Mueller is a Repub.
In the United States, there is a general legal principle that ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Citizens must understand the laws of the United States and act per them. Laws are published and made clear by the United States government. And so, ignorance cannot be used as a defense.
Is Ignorance Of The Law a Defense?
Is it still illegal if you didn’t know it was a crime? Nick Lotito & Seth Kirschenbaum explain in a new blog:
