Maybe they can meet at a Beetlejuice performance to review the files and decide which ones deserve extra attention.

She's way too old for his tastes. Is Gaetz single yet?

Gaetz's jealousy for not being on the list may inspire him to get even with those who are.

Is there anything we can do to make Trump look more guilty?

Hmmm. David Koresh is dead, who else do we have?
