@tootbrute @dantheclamman “86” as in ‘get rid of,’ and “47” as in the 47th President. If you’re wondering how that could possibly be construed as a threat of murder, you’re right.

@dgriffinjones @tootbrute @dantheclamman To 86 someone is slang for ending employment more often than assassinate someone. As the former head of FBI with a boat load full of character witnesses of who is who in the US Justice Department retired, the Trumpianized DOJ will have a very hard time to overcome reasonable doubt even if they go venue shopping by reason of online publication.
