The DoJ is federal; today's indictments are from a state court. Ocelot II Jul 2021 #3

I'm not sure they wouldn't be binding...... getagrip_already Jul 2021 #5

If that had happened we'd probably know about it - Ocelot II Jul 2021 #6

cosby was just an allegory, not a direct link... getagrip_already Jul 2021 #16

I wasn't making a distinction between state and federal. Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #18
