And do not appear to have read the indictment.

See my #15 below.

“The indictment fails to acknowledge that the Second Home Rider permits rentals with certain conditions” ignores the fact that none of what is permitted is actually something that fits either the indictment or what allies have claimed.

“There’s nothing in the Second Home Rider that says that when you’re not using [the home] for vacation that it must be vacant the rest of the time,” - which is true… but also irrelevant since that isn’t what was claimed by either side.

“core of the allegations is that James knowingly lied that she was not going to rent” - Nope… the core of the indictment is that she knowingly lied when she claimed that the home would be a second residence when she never lived there.

Renting it out would be one way of proving that it wasn’t a second home… in which case all these comments would be relevant if she had very limited rental use. But they aren’t relying on actual rent to prove anything and it wasn’t limited in any way similar to those exceptions

To the topic of the OP - none of the claimed expert opinions deal with the subject of the OP that three words meant that she was only restricted from hiring a third party to rent out her home
