[JESTER] HELLO AND HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE…
[mentoredlife] Hi Jester, just reading up on the sealed indictments. Seems the number keeps climbing. Up over 1100 now.
[JESTER] mentoredlife YES THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CASE... I THINK IT IS A MATTER OF SOMEONE CHECKING EACH DISTRICT ONE AT A TIME AND FINDING THEM...
[mentoredlife] Jester, could this be the beginning of "draining the swamp"? I know you don't really have a way of knowing what's in there. Just a speculation.
[JESTER] mentoredlife IT IS HARD TO SAY.... IT IS A START OF GETTING A HANDLE OF CONTROL OVER THE ELITES I WOULD SAY... WHAT IS HARD TO SAY IS IF THEY WILL ACTUALLY USE IT... OR IF THE THREAT OF USING IT WILL WORK JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER....
