The letter goes on—for eight pages, so you know that El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago didn't write the damn thing—to throw up every bit of Fox News-approved, wingnut-certified, nutball, quasi-legalistic hoodoo into the clear air. I found this line particularly amusing in light of recent revelations.

This absurd contention comes in the middle of a passage in the letter that is pure delusion. It even makes formal the manufactured notion that Rep. Adam Schiff's obvious paraphrase of the president*'s shakedown call with the Ukrainian president was an attempt to deceive the country. This was stupid when the Republicans began hollering about it in committee, and it's now become grandiose and stupid. Later, the letter goes on to yap irrelevantly—and falsely—about "continuing strong economic growth." This letter has nothing to do with the law. It's a MAGA rally draped in a toga.
