Stealing a person's home and calling the crime "minimal."

That's a socialist for you.

Remember, food is.

Especially someone else's.

the lawyer in question ultimately undid the transaction, and deeded the house back to the client though, to be sure, the client wound up being out about $1000 (in 1952 dollars) spent in chasing the lawyer down.  

Immediately preceding the quote I posted above, the Court's dissenters (who wanted to disbar the lawyer) said this:

The [lawyer] here not only took undue advantage of a client who was peculiarly in need of trustworthy professional assistance, but he persisted for months in the prosecution of his reprehensible course of conduct to keep his client's property.  His was no error in judgment occasioned by the temptation of the moment, but a crafty scheme for his own enrichment at his client's expense;  a scheme quickly devised, to be sure, yet pursued at leisure.
 

Sound familiar?

As to your comments, Jim, I set you up to rant about the horrors of stealing a house - that transaction then totally unwound with ultimately no harm to the client save a few dollars spent - while you simultaneously drew into your embrace not only the idea of torture in secret dungeons, but also Gonzo's, Card's, Rover's and Bushie's  behavior in setting upon Ashcroft while in the hospital.

I think this counts as - what - hitting a trifecta?

So it is minimal to steal a person's home if he chases you down, spends $5K (07 $'s) doing it and you give it back?

I don't think so.

As to whatever happened at the hospital:

1. Comey could have stopped it all by calling Gonzales/Card and telling them Ashcroft approved, and making a simpe offer to meet the next morning.

Is it "minimal" that he chose to not communicate, instead deciding to get into a "turf war?"

  1. If I had been Bush, and since I wouldn't have known that Ashcroft had agreed, you are 100% right that I would have wanted an explanation as to why the new ACTING AG wouldn't sign something that had been signed 25 times in a row.

  2. Ashcroft was in the hospital with gallstones. They are painful. Very painful. But quit acting like he was on his death bed. He wasn't.

Dunegons? Torture? To bad you didn't throw in Amerika, Nazis, Islamophonics.. I'd have given you 50 style points...

and scribe....before you get in a dither, "socialist" is meant as a political philsophy, not as a person...
