The prosecution of Trump appears so far to be legally brought, reasonably supported by the law, in accordance with due process, and all the stuff I've been arguing all day.  But it is clearly a discretionary prosecution and it is stretching the boundaries of what has gone before.  By discretionary prosecution, I mean that it is the result of an investigation and grand jury process controlled by Smith.  Seldom used and even archaic laws are being applied.  It is not like Trump was witnessed by dozens shooting a man dead in broad daylight and then brought into jail by the cops, or some other sort of crime where prosecution is not discretionary as a practical matter.

I'd buy the argument that this is all largely Trump's fault.  Still, it is not credible to deny there are politics at play in Garland and Smith's prosecution decisions.  I don't agree with Greg that this is entirely political, but that is a long way from denying that it is at least in part political.

That's not true, at all.
In Smith's case, he's prosecuted prominent Democrats John Edwards and Bob Menendez. Were politics at play in those cases as well? Of course not.
Even the former governor of Virginia, Robert McDonnell, who was targeted by Smith,  was on CNN last night and stated this is NOT a political prosecution.
In Garland's case, he's appointed Jack Smith because he has demonstrated his impartiality when it comes to prosecutions and politics. 
You ought to know better, Jim.

Most reasonable people would look at the interactions on this forum and conclude that you are mostly the instigator and that most others are merely responding in kind. Your near-constant badgering that Rod is a communist Marxist demonstrates clearly that you have no true interest in intellectual discourse.

Additionally, Jim did not have a hissy fit. He clearly and eloquently exposed the fact that you are not pro-life and that you don't care about women's health. All you care about is peddling your right-wing persona.

I became aware of the scam in mid-April because
I didn't get an answer from Andrea Sisk. The mount has not been delivered to date.
At the end of April I did everything imaginable:
Support Astromart => no reaction

There was indeed a reaction from Astromart. "Andreas Hengst" was removed from the site so no one else could be scammed. Removing scammers is about the only thing AM can do once they are discovered besides cooperating with the authorities if asked and providing all available information to them.

It would seem you were not the only one who bit on this one based on discussion in the forums and it is entirely possible they had already been removed when you reported it to support.

Bank of America => no response
Framingham Police => no response
Police Germany => Report filed
Attorney General Germany => Report filed

The whole topic ran under the username "Andreas Hengst"
He had given 2 locations (see photo attached)
a) in Vreden, Germany
b) in Framingham, MA

a fraudster may have taken over his name/account, to carry out this criminal act.

Since last week Andreas Hengst  has changed the location to just Vreden, DE

Not on AM, there is no one by that name on AM since he was removed back when he was discovered.


Very sorry you got scammed but sending large sums that are not either protected by paypal or an escrow service is a bad bad idea......
