I absolutely believe the FBI can be as toxic a workplace as any other. I also believe that should have jack-all to do with you not hoarding classified documents. "Special Agent Doe told an off-color joke in my hearing" is not a valid defense for stealing state secrets.

I found Romneycare useful before I became eligible for Medicare.

One thing no one ever talks about is when he drastically raised the cost of everything in the registries of deeds except for the one that has "tax" in the name (documentary stamp excise tax, usually called doc stamps). The only recording fee that didn't get hiked stratospherically was for homesteads. And he doubled copy fees in the registries of deeds and probate. All to raise revenue without raising "taxes".

That paperwork is probably called a mortgage. I helped someone with that recently. In fact, that person was one of the tiny number of acquittals in a federal trial. We had a heck of time getting a valid mortgage discharge out of the district court. For some reason, they absolutely refused to use or even look at the one I helpfully drafted for them. I'm glad the clerks aren't the people making legal judgments on real estate law, not that the judges seem much better, from what I've seen.

From what I've read, I believe the reason was to bring in two states that didn't meet the population qualifications in order to have more senators.

I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one who noticed that the crew working on an autobiography who got the amazing taped comments are working on Mark MEADOWS's autobiography, not Mark Milley's. Geez.

Perhaps with a pay-per view channel, with the proceeds going to all the folks Trump has harmed over the years. Special guest appearances by Hillary (throwing printed email copies), Obama (copies of fake birth certificates)...

Trump wouldn't put documents in a place he couldn't access. Of course, I wouldn't put it past Trump to just dig up the grave whenever convenient.

You gotta wonder if a striking WGA member was somehow associated with this.
