@MeidasTouch He's a terrible human being but he's one of the few people in the Trump admin that I actually don't suspect of being caught up in Trump's illegal activities

@MeidasTouch but are we shocked? Look at Pence’s imaging during behind scene negotiations with DOJ. Pence has no respect for constitution.

@MeidasTouch

It's the year 2173.

The annual "Issuing of the Indictments" tradition is underway.

It's an annual tradition; no one quite remembers why it is done, but there is some recollection that it began in the year 2016.

A solemn ceremony is held in which a grand Indictment is issued by an attorney to someone portraying the politician, who then loudly proclaims, "I shall ignore it.". Someone playing the role of a lawyer then steps forward and puts forth a petition to a Court that seeks to quash the indictment. The court clerk, acting in the designated role, agrees with the petition, and the ceremony is over.

The "Issuing of the Indictments" tradition is undertaken throughout the land as a solemn memory of the Before Times when indictments actually mattered, and the law had some effect.

Everyone goes back to their lives, morose and sullen, awaiting the next year, the annual "Issuing of the Indictments" tradition.

Every year, the tradition continues. No one remembers why.

@MeidasTouch Why can trump still file lawsuits regarding privilege? I thought that’s been settled a few times and the law states if it’s regarding a crime it is irrelevant anyway. I don’t get why he’s being allowed to waste time.

@MeidasTouch I'm seeing reporting that the aide whose laptop had the classified material in it had studied in Russia? #TrumpPutin
