Notes

Summary <p>After "fixing" crime in DC, Trump is off to "fix" Chicago. But since Chicago is in an actual state, he may encounter one or two legal issues. And after the Supreme Court shook its finger at the president and said not to fire members of the Federal Reserve, he's trying to do it anyway. Whodathunkit? Meanwhile, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro can't seem to indict a ham sandwich.</p> <p> </p> <p>Links:</p> <p> </p> <p>Lisa Cook v.
