“Judge William E. Fitzpatrick rejected prosecutors’ request to impose conditions on Comey’s release pending trial.” Really? Conditions? What, FFS, would such conditions be? Pledging undying fealty to the orange gas bomb Promising not to play with seas shells? This sick stuff is why we won’t have nice things if they have their way . . . plus spider nose.
