@GottaLaff Reviewing your post and in light of today's news that a judge's view that appointing a Special Council is unconstitutional, I wonder where *this* request might end up...
@lizopp That’s in Florida. Different judges, different cases, ultimately
@GottaLaff I should hope so but these days, and with Federalist judges peppering the system now, I’m not placing any bets.
