Do you think that if all the MAGA supporters brains were hooked up in series they would catch the irony of the person who hides everything, refuses to answer subpoenas and takes the fifth demanding immediate release of documents.
Maybe they’d have to try parallel.
The people are the most important element in a nation; the spirits of the land and grain are the next; the sovereign is the least.
