Where they may. Frankly given its true it is fit. If i were on the jury i would leave it alone. My job is not to. Cover the shit anyone does but tell the truth. Good op. It will be a hard thing to say obama is a two face on this but it is the truth. Someone on the Tv was discussing this. So what if he personally doesn't invoke it. Someone will. And what about the unlikely idea he losos? Williard would use it.

This is being tapped out on a kindle. Hope it makes sense.
