People have been aware of this injustice since at least the 90's when investigative reporter Bill Moushey wrote about it in The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Of course, that publication may not meet your standards for "high profile". Also too, only olds like me remember it, and I can't find a copy anywheres on the innertubes, dag nabbit!

If this was a move to ingratiate himself with Trump, I'm afraid it isn't working. You might think that Trump, a man whose entire working life has involved stealing other peoples' stuff, would embrace ol' J. Laidregard but I guess once The Donald has a bug up his ass about you, it stays there. (Maybe he's thinking AG would be a good career fit for Jared?)

Does this mean We, the People are going to end up with Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, and every shitty golf course and hotel the Orange One owns in the country?

Of course not. Those deeds all have Russian names on them.

Look, the war is going badly for Sessions. The Yankees have seized control of the Mississippi by capturing Vicksburg. Lee is n retreat back to Virginia. Sessions cannot even contact Capt. Rhett Butler to offer support for the blockade runners. And now the President doubts him. Jeff Davis, why, he has asked, why hast thou forsaken me?

If the Trump family can loot America, why shouldn't the poor cops be allowed to loot a little?

If Colorado keeps that money in a FDIC bank could Sessions confiscate it on the grounds that it was originally illegal profits?

They must be human-beagle vivisection experiments.

That was how a lot of people bought cars, actually. You'd shake hands on the deal, then go to the bank to withdraw the cash - and big bills made it easy to carry and count. As a kid, I got the big thrill of holding several $1,000 bills. Dad's purchase was less glamorous, though: an I.H. Travelall (the original SUV.)

Just put the rags on him - piece of cake.

That big boat on wheels turned out to be a blessing. Within a few years of the purchase, Dad became a double amputee, and that car was large enough to accommodate the wheelchair in the front seat and the hand controls. He was the only driver in the family, and took us on a great vacation the summer he got out of Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. I also saw Dad, who was a great driver, pull that Caddy into a parking space a Volkswagen had vacated.

Surely there were TWO Volkswagens...

Nope. But, to be fair, it had plenty of room both front and back.

Those things are worth big dollars now.
