This forum has told me numerous times that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich so what on earth is going on :thinking::grinning_face::wink:

Could, not would.

The actual quote you’re both referring to doesn’t include either word: “Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.”

Not to belabor the point, but “can” shows present/future ability, possibility, or permission, whereas “could” shows past ability, polite requests, or less certain possibilities. In other words, they express the same meaning.

899

Sure, and in this context, “would” and “could” mean basically the same thing as well. I think the point is, the case against James is flimsy at best.

No they do not. “Would” implies a positive outcome is assured.

Classic hannity forum word parsing.

No, it implies a positive outcome under certain circumstances.

You’re working hard to avoid the obvious:

903

No sir 
 Proper English. Words have meaning. There is a very distinct difference between “would” and “could.”

904

That’s because I don’t give a crap about Lita James, but I do care about proper English usage.

And you’re only half right 
 both words are in regard to hypothetical events under certain circumstances.

For months, the Trump administration has been accusing its political enemies of mortgage fraud for claiming more than one primary residence.
President Donald Trump branded one foe who did so “deceitful and potentially criminal.” He called another “CROOKED” on Truth Social and pushed the attorney general to take action.
But years earlier, Trump did the very thing he’s accusing his enemies of, records show.
In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a “Bermuda style” home in Palm Beach, Florida, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he got another mortgage for a seven-bedroom, marble-floored neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence.
In reality, Trump, then a New Yorker, does not appear to have ever lived in either home, let alone used them as a principal residence. Instead, the two houses, which are next to his historic Mar-a-Lago estate, were used as investment properties and rented out, according to contemporaneous news accounts and an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario his administration has pointed to as evidence of fraud.
At the time of the purchases, Trump’s local real estate agent told the Miami Herald that the businessman had “hired an expensive New York design firm” to “dress them up to the nines and lease them out annually.” In an interview, Shirley Wyner, the late real estate agent’s wife and business partner who was herself later the rental agent for the two properties, told ProPublica: “They were rentals from the beginning.” Wyner, who has worked with the Trump family for years, added: “President Trump
