Dumbed down annotations.

But I read the whole indictment and understood every word and remembered too.

I don’t need your stinkin bullet points. It’s for the MAGATS who (like tRump) won’t read it.

Waste of time.

Why can't their reporters and editors just work for free?

But what's the point of posting it here where most of us can't see it? Stupid.
