re: #738 Guanxi88

Their express purpose and intent was to cause direct harm to the national security of the United States as part of a campaign of unconventional and unlawful warfare carried out by asymmetrical means. Recognizing this does not diminish or deny the criminality of their acts, but does say that these acts are not primarily criminal.

ooo, you had me with you right up until that last clause. The acts aren’t objectively either criminal nor unlawful warfare. That’s why this is such a tough situation to handle. And whatever you think of this Administration’s ideological foundations, I don’t believe that the lawyers representing it are driven by… well, a lot of the stuff that’s been spewed here today. They’re simply trying to do what they can to deal with this.
