If the House Democrats haven't sent a subpoena to WhatsApp by the end of the day, someone is committing malpractice.

I really hope they do to drive my point home with some of my clients.

He should be out there attacking Trump for spending taxpayer dollars to get Ukrainian propaganda for his re-election campaign. If Biden can't make hay with these facts, that is political malpractice.

FWIW:
Quote:
New Quinnipiac NATIONAL poll (counts for the November debate)
Warren 29%
Biden 26%
Sanders 16%
Buttigieg 4%
Harris 3%
Yang 3%
Everyone else at or below 2 percent

Jesus.
This story is dragging Trump down already. And it's because Biden hasn't been out there trying to hammer away. The more he's out there, the more questions he gets about the bullshit underlying Trump's lunacy. And I don't know if you met the American people, but the more questions he gets, the more the conspiracy becomes true. Leave it alone.

No need to be out there having clips of him denying this garbage played again and again. Let Trump continue to talk himself into a deeper hole.
And to be fair--although I still think he has the best chance of beating Trump by the biggest margin--on a personal level, I'm not even that sure about Biden's abilities to do the job anymore. He keeps showing signs that he's too old for this shit.

2. Trump is forgetting how to use the Big Lie. He doesn’t need inside info to create suspicion Biden is corrupt. Hunter’s a train wreck. There are loads of “bad facts” with which to paint Joe and his kid as corrupt, regardless of truth.
The master of Fake News doesn’t even know how to use Fake News. Fool thought he needed real dirt. Now all he’s done is caused voters who might think Biden actedly corruptly in Ukraine to think, “so did Trump.”
Biden should ignore Trump all day, every day.

Nobody is excited by him. Nobody is eager to express support for a lesser senile candidate.

Give them a copy of Snowden’s new book.
“Speech. You Can Always Deny It or Say a Characterization is Taking Words Out of Context.” That should be an ad for old school phone call service.

Some courts do have compulsory arbitration and even mediation. Arbs are usually done by boards of ex judges or lawyers.
I think mediation should be compelled in every case, early. Force the parties to examine strengths and weaknesses in detail immediately. Try to kill all cases before the costly discovery and motion practice.

You really are exhausting.
I can list the swing state polls. I can talk about the fact that he's *crushing* her in some of the national polls and the ones she's leading in are probably within the margin of error. But why?
If Warren is the best candidate to win by the biggest margin possible, great! I think she has a shot at winning the primary. But whether she does or not, Biden has the best chance of beating Trump by the largest margin in the general. And I say that even though I think he's a doddering old man at this point.
I don't really care about this argument anymore. We disagree on strategy as it relates to the Ukraine scandal. There's nothing more to debate. Jesus.

I'm not arguing with you. I'm having a conversation with someone I mostly agree with, and sharing information that seems germane to the conversation. I'm sorry if I gave a different impression.
FWIW, I don't think Biden is crushing her, but I'm also not paying very close attention because I think things are fluid in the medium term. YMMV.

I'm defending a case that maybe has $4M in provable damages, and the Plaintiff's Biglaw firm has billed $1.3M. The defendants are moving to dismiss the billionth amended complaint. The plaintiff is an LLC that is owned by a Fortune 500 company.
I mean, once you pass the $200k mark and you're still in the pleadings stage, you might want to re-evaluate your counsel.
