Means all Republicans prosecuted has to be exonerated with no record of convictions and made whole monetarily. Then they should sue the ones responsible for false prosecution and their legal fees paid by the FBI and other Agencies involved.

Think it's worth noting that just because they didn't charge him, or others similarly situated, last week doesn't mean they can't be charged next week. Or down the road.

Popcorn futures continue to be bullish.
