Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.

Holy shit! So many "loaded" words for my year. I guess I will just settle on "ditzy".
There is no me. There is no you. There is all. There is no you. There is no me. And that is all. A profound acceptance of an enormous pageantry. A haunting certainty that the unifying principle of this universe is love. -- Propagandhi

Wait a minute..........the OP link is faulty; because I wasn't born in either 1926 or 1938, when...

... Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938....

I wasn't even born in 1954, when Ike signed signed HR7786, changing the name 'Armistice Day' to 'Veterans Day'!
