Absolutely NOTHING!
A fabulous R & B song from 1970 by Edwin Starr.1
But I digress, before I even start.
So on April 21, 1986, the then notably less infamous Geraldo Rivera arranged for CBS to record a live special on the opening of Al Capone’s hidden vault.2 It was amazing. Amazingly boring! Rivera speculated they would find tons of loot, cash, rare whiskeys and wines. The pre-opening was thick with drama and blabber. But alas, it only contained dust and cobwebs. Geraldo is now Fox News’ token liberal, still full of himself, absolutely nothing.
Now, along comes the FBI! These 30 agents are also full of themselves, absolutely nothing. Seems Christopher A. Wray, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, got a hold of some genuine intelligence (I’m doubtful) that led him to believe that Trump left office with a bunch of classified documents. And, that he bought a brand new safe to keep them in at his residence at Mar-a-Lago. So Wray‘s minions, 30 of them, assaulted the Trump residence to search for said documents. Oh, they were very thorough, even searching Melania’s underwear drawer for said documents.
They were so thorough, they brought a professional safe cracker. [I haven’t heard of a safe cracker since the last time I watched a Humphrey Bogart movie] So, when the professional was done and the safe’s doors were opened, they found
Absolutely NOTHING!
Proving Christopher Wray has no intelligence.
I was going to write something along the lines of finding Geraldo in the safe, but that would have been too much of a cheap shot.
Musings from your grumpy Uncle Dave.
