[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 3985425, member: 76548"] I think he may be alluding to the thought that process crimes are often used as a tactic by prosecutors, when they're pretty sure they can't (successfully) prosecute the targets of an investigation, for their more serious alleged crimes, which they really wish to prosecute them on. So hence, they use these less serious process crimes as a means to exact some type of punishment. I think that may be what he's saying, that he's of the opinion you don't understand what these crimes are typically used for. Leverage, coercion, revenge, to save face, etc etc. (Although if that was what he meant, he could've just stated as much, so perhaps I'm giving a maroon too much credit and benefit of the doubt, which is a distinct possibility.) So if I were him, or just any prudent observer of the Mueller investigation, I'd add and emphasize the word [B][I]YET[/I][/B], in these instances we're speaking of. For example: Trump's and most of his cronies haven't been charged with anything but process crimes as a result of the Mueller investigation, YET. Because Mueller's investigation seems to be extremely thorough, and by all accounts he's legendary in his dogged pursuit of crimes he's been tasked with getting to the bottom of. So this smug, cocksure demeanor Trump supporters have flaunted throughout this investigation, may come to a deflating conclusion in their near future. If this isn't what he was referring to, then I'm really unclear on why he thinks you don't know what the definition of a process crime is. It's truly the only logical conclusion I could come to.
