In reply to the discussion: Taylor and Mensch now report, based on separate sources, a sealed indictment against DT. [View all]jberryhill

The blog post, noted above, is even worse.
That's a hell of a basic fact to get wrong.

Well, why doesn't the blog and tweet identify the courts where these indictments are emanating from?
