Re Ilhan Omar Worth your time: Oct 1992 letter from Republican US Attorney on an investigatory step before election: "[I]t amounts to prosecutorial misconduct and violates the most basic fundamental rule of Department of Justice policy. I cannot be a party to such actions."

I 💯 eat Shin at full strength (mmm capsaicin) and sweat through it but if I had it more than once a week I would DIE
