Shiny Objects You Will Soon Be Seeing

9. Thank you.

There's already a lot of nonsense floating around - much excitement about the FISA court issuing indictments, except that FISA courts don't and can't issue indictments, which was the first and loudest clue that this was, at best, some vague rumor based on little more than wishful thinking and ignorance of the legal system. I don't know whether Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor (and Bill Palmer) are well-meaning rumor-mongers or actual trolls, but it is wise to keep in mind that wanting something to happen doesn't mean it will happen, and the fact that a rumor is packaged in legalese doesn't make it more likely to be true.
