I guess the OP isn’t going to return to survey the wreckage of his thread, much less admit that his claims were a load of crap. ---

> [@Lightnin](#): > > Kudos for going for the facts rather than the zinger, **Bricker**. It doesn’t matter, though- it’s entered into the rightwing noosphere that it did happen. The \*\*magellans \*\*of the world will, from this day onward, claim that the report conclusively proved that Obama interfered in the prosecution. Indeed. In my head I read the OP in the voice of Rush Limbaugh. ---
