    Insane and outrageous attempted corruption, but if there isn’t at least a lawsuit filed about this by the end of the day bringing this whole thing right back to the judicial scrutiny they’re trying to worm out of I will be amazed

    Not that I have much more faith in federal courts than I do in the executive branch at this point, but hopefully the optics of this are too toxic for even them
