Evergreen, I assume?
“Secret” in what sense? That Fox News kept the trial’s existence a secret from their viewers until the conviction came down?
No. I don’t read their nonsense. All the headlines, all the reports I’ve seen from legiitmate sources say “secret trial”.
Lol, sorry, but gonna have to call it: Cite?
(Not that I disbelieve you, I’m now adding links to the list and it would be helpful.)
As I understand it, the trial was secret because it involved a Grand Jury whose deliberations are secret. I read this in the NYT and posted a gift link in the Schadenfreude thread:
Which one is the giant veg?
Dan
The one on the right is a Brassica oleracea cultivar Cabbagia Gargantua
The one on the left is a Beergutia Maxima cultivar Magatus idiotus
So, both giant vegetables?
Dan
No, the one on the left(ironic) is a bigly vegetable.

Decided to remove “No Child Left Behind” as it was a Bush 2 initiative.
Yeah, what the Right pushed back against, and not that hard across the board, was the “Common Core” which was not created by NCLB but came out of the NGA and became widespread under whatever policy was the Obama-era follow-up to NCLB. They largely forgot about it when other sexier educational boogeymen came up.
