Term of the Day: "Wilful Failure to Know"
And its cousin: "Knew or Should have known."
Just heard today's MSNBC chat regarding Jared. The question seemed to be, did he know he was being an agent for Russia when he set up back channels? The sticking point seems to be intent.
I say, bullshit. This is just another attempt to let them get away with the Affluenza Defense. There are legal terms that should apply when you're trying to do private business with a government that has not always been friendly to American interests. "Wilful failure to know" should have applied at some point. Judges look at your reasoning and actions over a period of time. You can step into a position doing egregious legal errors, but at some point it becomes a "Wilful Failure to know." Add more time, experiences or professional training, and you get "Knew or should have know." Why is no one bringing those phrases up in the chat room?
What an irony that today is Memorial Day and the Trump circle has no clue how and why some of those soldiers died.
