And there was no coverage in that direction, really examining how ridiculous and how what a Frankenstein Ian legal construction that indictment was. But you know, when when you have a person of conscience and the other side now and now it becomes, you know, a soccer of type of story. They didn't cover the FBI whistleblowers or the IRS whistleblowers the same way.
