the OP's speculations, or in reference to yesterday's weather, or in reference to nothing at all? It still retains its very distinct meaning of a categorical rejection of all other possible outcomes, a meaning that doesn't easily lend itself to spin. And how is the ""Maybe, might be, could be, don't know but, it looks like, soon"" comment not a wholesale mockery of any nuance that falls short of the all or nothing declaration that follows? And how is the "All of it is worthless bullshit" comment not a contemptful dismissal of the DOJ's past and the likely future steps outlined in the OP?

As far as my Pinochet reference, I must admit: in the heat of an argument about uncompromisingly indiscriminate law enforcement measures, Gandhi wasn't the first name that came to mind. You are welcome to suggest any other comparisons that you may deem to be more fitting to the occasion. Alternatively, I would be happy to delete the entire sentence that refers to Pinochet at your request. It is entirely immaterial to the rest of my post.
