When a fellow named gamble, who was a convicted felon, was pulled over for a bad headlight, nobody was thinking to themselves, “Hey, would this have any effect on the Paul Manafort case?” Now they are, but the general feeling is that it won’t have any effect. Why not? Because no matter how hard you try, English Common Law prior to 1868 is not US Law after 1868. What else is new, am I right?
