[AGL] life is so much fun dept.

[Frances Morey]

The "Vanity Fair" article brought up an incident that became known as
"Rubbergate" in the papers, something about a rubber containing cocaine
found in Beto's proximity. He wiggled out of that, but had a DUI and
marijuana charge, too. Indeed, compared to Trump this is trivia, but the
sad fact is that the law has a forked tongue impact, one for those who have
extreme money and power and the rest of the people.
Best,
Frances
