Oh. So when will he explain the warrant?
Maybe he’s waiting to see if Trump has the backbone to do it first.

"The Department filed the motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the former president's public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter," Garland said. "Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing."
Oh. So when will he explain the warrant?
Due process, son.

That is what Romney would do. See the difference?

Try it out on Twitter. Return, and report.
Exactly, dummy. Exactly.
Exactly that you don’t know, or that your claim was wrong?

Or, exactly that you won’t test your theory, to find out?

TL;DR

Will someone who read that article be so kind as to summarize it for me?
Sure. In the 90's, Newt Gingrich called upon conservatives to become unhinged right-wingers. Conservatives complied.

Nope. No one let Romney see the warrant. : D

This is actually a better summary:

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Thanks to everyone who summarized that article for me.

Although a picture may be worth a thousand words, I’m afraid I don’t understand the above pictorial summary, DoctorCamNC4Me.

All the clues are there, Dr. Shades. Look hard at the picture, read the title, and mindfully observe the picture. It’s like one of those Magic Eye pictures where all of a sudden your brain sees the truth within it.
