Except the DA's office can legally put one on witnesses, its done all the time.

its so nice they have these credible witnesses that won't lie and have nothing against Trump:

If by "legally" you mean no one will sue them (no DA will take up the case), that's fine, but that is not the definition of legal. If it's illegal under the law and there is no exemption for it in the law ("it's done all the time" is not an exemption in the law), then it's illegal. If the powers that be do what they want illegally without consequences, what else is new. Leticia James likes to threaten businesses out of state to not sell legal products in the NYS under color of law (illegal) and the PO-PO likes to disobey traffic laws all day long when not responding to an emergency or engaged in pursuit, etc. All that illustrates is the 2 tiered system we have in practice where those in power are scofflaws and We The Peons are held accountable.

 

[stokes]

The DA's office has all the immunity of any other LE agency. The law you posted concerns the purchase of body armor and states this:

A person is guilty of the unlawful purchase of body armor when, not being engaged or employed in an eligible profession,

The DA's office is a LE agency and would be considered an "eligible profession". And that is why they do it all the time

Anecdotally, Merchan noticeably allows more objections from Prosecution of Blanche's cross-examination. Merchan overruled basically every single objection by the Trump Defense during the questioning of witnesses Pecker, Hicks, and Daniels.

Brad Smith: What I would have told the Trump jury
former Federal Election Commission Chairman Brad Smith, who is certainly one of the leading authorities in the nation on the application of FECA.

The goal of his hoped-for testimony, Smith said, was “to lay out the ways the law has been interpreted in ways that might not be obvious.” As an example, Smith cited the phrase “for the purpose of influencing an election,” which has been heard during much analysis of the trial. “You read the law and it says that anything intended for the purpose of influencing an election is a contribution or an expenditure,” Smith explained. “But that’s not in fact the entirety of the law. There is the obscure, and separate from the definitional part, idea of personal use, which is a separate part of the law that says you can’t divert campaign funds to personal use. That has a number of specific prohibitions, like you can’t buy a country club membership, you can’t normally pay yourself a salary or living expenses, you can’t go on vacation — all these kinds of things. And then it includes a broader, general prohibition that says you can’t divert [campaign funds] to any obligation that would exist even if you were not running for office.”

NOW — Outside of the New York courthouse for the sham witch hunt trial against President Trump, Sebastian Gorka says, "Why are you hiding this document, Judge Merchan? I’m going to put it on the Internet today!"

No, its not legal because its done all the time, its done all the time because its legal. As I said earlier:

No, its not legal because its done all the time, its done all the time because its legal. As I said earlier:

So selling cocaine is legal because it's done all the time ?

It's done all the time despite being illegal because the people who are tasked with enforcing that law are the same people who are violating it.

WTF you talkin bout Willis? Cocaine is illegal, period, no matter how many times it is "done". It is not illegal for LE agencies to possess, buy or use body armor. The DA's office is a LE agency, it is not illegal for them to use it.

Nobody is suggesting the DA's office be prosecuted.

The police possess cocaine all the time too.

Would it be legal for them to sell it ?

How in the fuck are you comparing cocaine to body armor?

NY has decided to prohibit commoners from possessing both cocaine and body armor, and many guns, etc...

They have of course decided that they can ignore those prohibitions for themselves.

"Rules for thee and not for me" is basically their mantra.

If you can't see the obvious parallel there, I can't help you.

If you are blinded by your personal bias about which of these should be prohibited, you really need to think about why mere possession of anything should be prohibited.

Ok, I see you think everything should be legal and we should have no laws. You want legal cocaine etc? Go to Portland and Seattle, frisco , they decriminalized hard drugs. Didnt work out too well for them.

Well she's testifying against Trump, so the Dems in charge will give her a "pass" and higher ups will ignore it with the excuse it's not their purview.

When you have to put words into people's mouths and create straw men, it's a tacit admission that your argument sucks.

I said no laws prohibiting possession of things. That is not remotely no laws.

And your argument that "bad things happen when you don't restrict freedom" is the rallying cry of every tin pot dictator in history.

You don't think the problems in those cities might have more to do with turning *real* criminals loose, and less to do with banning inanimate objects ?

It amazes me that you will get people making this argument on a site like this.

It is the *exact* same logic that we soundly reject when the left applies it to guns.

Cocaine doesn't rob banks anymore than guns do.
