Dear @cnn.com,
The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

A government of oligarchs that will exist to solely serve the interests of oligarchs while distracting working people with culture wars. And people can complain all they want about a Trump screenshot. I almost never post any here and this is important so just block me instead of whining.

In his book, Bill Barr recounts Trump’s attempt to install Kash Patel as deputy director of the FBI: "I told Mark Meadows it would happen 'over my dead body'...Patel had virtually no experience that would qualify him to serve at the highest level of the world's preeminent law enforcement agency"
