"Just a few key positions. That's all we need."

Get glass pint mason jar. Put 2 T coffee in it. Pour in boiling water. Then pour the jar and coffee into another mug/jar through a fine strainer.
Voila!
Or you can use an old piece of muslin slip cut into a square for that purpose which I have in my kitchen...
You don’t have a funnel thing and paper filters?
I hope it means "nobody has gotten sent to prison YET".
See my post #924, which I posted before seeing that this was already being discussed.
This is a big big big deal. For those who don't know, the Office of Special Counsel is the federal office that adjudicates whistlelower complaints.
See for instance: What We Do
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is an independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency. Our basic authorities come from four federal statutes: the Civil Service Reform Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
Specially:
The Disclosure Unit reviews five types of disclosures specified in the statute:
So, if you are an honest FBI agent (I know, but bear with me here) and want to file a complaint against a corrupt superior for retaliating because you blew the whistle on her, ultimately your complaint goes to the Office of Special Counsel for adjudication after your own department investigates and dismisses your complaint.
How nice to have a reliable McLame operative stoolie in the chain to make sure that the complaint is appropriately handled.
I posted it a while ago.
And since Q is taking a short vacay, here is another fantastic Kipling poem which I quote from often.
The Gods of the Copybook Headings
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
I just clicked, will watch is shortly.
I can solve that for you...watch “Rainman” with an eye toward learning. All will become clear. Really.
Haha. No, Jeremiah. I'm not a gypsy or a witch or a hippie or a lesbian. And I don't have crystals either. I do have a broken Mr Coffee, though.
If I was gonna go buy mason jars and moslem filters, I might as well buy another, better, more modern Mr Coffee.
Or, I guess I could move to the forest and become a druid and drink mason jar coffee like Robin Hood used to do.
But then how would I FReeQ?

I would caution you to NOT go too far. His soul is in God’s hand, CK will be dealt with in His way.
You don’t have to use a mason jar, just a large mug with another one handy to pour the coffee into. You don’t have a fine strainer?
I’m just poor and don’t drink coffee often. :-)
The rabbit hole goes real deep.
In May, 2018 Special Counsel Kerner issued a statement declaring that Kellyanne Conway, one of President Donald Trumps top advisers, violated federal law (Hatch Act) in two television interviews last year by using her White House position to weigh in on a political race in March 6, 2017.
