The court document pdf is on The Guardian's website of the OP, I just re-posted Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #36

Those links are broken. N/T lapucelle Aug 2019 #57

Correction it's "sworn declarations" that are the court document pdf Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #59

how many of the "sworn declarations" directly involve Joe Biden? N/T lapucelle Aug 2019 #67

What part of the OP or affidavit do you not understand? n/t Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #68

What this has to do with candidate Biden, N/T lapucelle Aug 2019 #70

Possibly nothing, it's an allegation and pending lawsuit, I imagine it depends Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #72

It's an allegation about a person other than the candidate. I trust responsible journalists and lapucelle Aug 2019 #73

I view the Guardian as a responsible site of record and there are multiple others that have covered Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #74

The Guardian is generally not considered to be a newspaper of record. lapucelle Aug 2019 #75

I believe it's as good as the rest and as I stated, they're not the only one that Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #77

It's a lawsuit, not a trial, lapucelle Aug 2019 #81

Why do you believe he is being sued and Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #82

I "believe" that Joe Biden is not being sued. lapucelle Aug 2019 #86

Well I believe there are worse case scenarios than that but just taking your scenario Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #87

A lawsuit doesn't involve a trial. If lawsuits did, we would have known about this one earlier: ehrnst Aug 2019 #89

False, a lawsuit can reach a settlement which happens most of the time or go to civil trial. n/t Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #94

OK - noted. However, this lawsuit was far, far more directly involved with a POTUS candidate ehrnst Aug 2019 #95

We don't know anything until it's settled or the trial ends. n/t Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #96

We definitely know about the $30,000 harassment settlement against the Sanders campaign. ehrnst Aug 2019 #98

We don't know the full circumstances, result nor the end date of the lawsuit against Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #102

So you're holding out for a connection to Candidate Biden that is more damning than ehrnst Aug 2019 #103
