Oh, I’m sure the FISA court’s APPROVED rubber-stamp was on *FIRE* w/ use. Course, being a ‘secret’ court, they’d have to kill ya after showing ya the ‘proof’.
If I had kids, I’d weep for their future.
...and busts him for a leaf of weed that was stuck to his fur, thereby justifying the seizure of all of his assets...
