  1. I didn’t know that “unfitness for public office” was an actual crime. How come – since they were always saying he was unfit – Trump was never charged with this crime?

  2. “Paxton faced 20 different charges of misconduct in office…” why is this sentence in the past tense? Has Paxton been exonerated?

    And the general question: since the FBI is definitely now a subversive organization in service to an imposter executive branch, making it a criminal enterprise in and of itself, what are we to make of their arresting of this guy Mr. Paul?
