certainly entitled to your position, even the part where you insist that I am naive.
The reality is that what happens in court is what will happen. Nothing presented to the public so far is real evidence, any of it could be faked, or it could all be real. Neither you nor I know right now.
A scant few of us warned about this consequence a couple of years ago and we were mocked for it. All politics are circular. The circle is now forming and here we are. "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime". It's not just a saying.
Is she actually guilty? We don't know, but I'm guessing there is some evidence of it, or it wouldn't have made it this far. It's petty, yes, but that doesn't make it a non-issue.
I read all of these prediction here every day, and about 1% of them actually come true. I think James has a problem here, but the real world consequences if found guilty will be very minor for her. At worst, she may get a minor fine. The major damage will be in the political scope.

The indictment is actually related to a different purchase than the debunked 2023 "primary residence" accusation. pat_k Oct 2025 #11
The debunked case was related to a 2023 purchase. This is related to a 2020 purchase. Nevertheless, likely bullshit. pat_k Oct 2025 #8

Ms James didn't get to be in her position by being careless of the facts. I actually heard a comment today Deuxcents Oct 2025 #10
