Interesting how he has been under investigation for several months even though he had done nothing illegal. It wasn't until he claimed he had set a bomb that he crossed the line. Weird and strange? Yes but there are no laws against being More..

The story says he's running for president and was arrested wearing an orange sequined dress? He's got my vote.
