* How did GJ foreperson sign on behalf of all 12 grand jurors if they never saw or voted on the 2nd Indictment itself?
* Why is the ink color different be/the 2 indictments?

4. But that second indictment was never presented to or voted on by the grand jury
Instead, the foreperson and Halligan signed it, and it was handed up in open court.
The result is that the operative indictment in the Comey case is one that the grand jury did not actually vote on.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

This is the reporter that Donald Trump called "Piggy." She is Catherine Lucey, currently with Bloomberg.
I don't think it is a coincidence that, back in 2018, Lucey was the first reporter to ask Trump about Stormy Daniels. Trump responded with a lie, but, clearly, did not forget the question.

Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible.
Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.
