5. There will be enough revealed to make us all vomit.

It's delicious knowing that Trump appealed to the Appellates, and they ordered Chutkan to take care of business, and when she does, Donald gets slapped in the face with the Appendix. He really shouldn't have been allowed on the ballot anywhere, anyway.

6. The msm dropped the story after one day anyway.

More proof of criminology and then...nothing.
